DooMknight Posted November 7, 2005 Probably someone already know this former game, but I discover this today, and it impressed me knowing this game was the Id Software inspiration to create Wolfenstein 3D. In 1983 Muse Software created "Castle Wolfenstein", it was originally released on the Apple II in 1981, and now you can play the dos version. (If you use XP, you need DosBox) The game some dificult at the beginning, but is too addictive. Download it 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted November 7, 2005 of course why do you think they added 3D to the name? Because it's not friggin' 2D anymore. Same thing done with Duke3D 0 Share this post Link to post

Bucket Posted November 7, 2005 It's 2.5D, bitch. And that's a technical term. OT: My favorite part of this game was hearing the Nazi death scream. "AIEE!!!" 0 Share this post Link to post
SYS Posted November 7, 2005 I thought they got their inspiration from fascism. 0 Share this post Link to post

Belial Posted November 7, 2005 If you were an Atari fan like me you'd know this game pretty well. I know there's a C64 version too. It was a quite popular cross-platform hit back in the day. 0 Share this post Link to post
188DarkRevived Posted November 8, 2005 I've known this since 1999. I first read about it on a site which was called BJ Blazcowicz' Hideout. I believe that this site was shut down and went offline quite a while ago, but I'm not entirely sure. Try googleing for it if you want to. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMknight Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks for the info! Im not a atari fan, but I play sometimes with my amstrad, and other dos games. The best games for me are the classics like Prehistorik, OutRun, Sonic or Shinobi... 0 Share this post Link to post

Bucket Posted November 19, 2005 No, I meant "AIEE!!". In the original 2D game, the Nazis would scream like little girls when shot. Try it yourself sometime. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, it's the standard death cry for many a Indiana Jones movie middle-eastern goon. Actually, now that I think of it, I heard it more in Johnny Quest. 0 Share this post Link to post
