Somewhere around April 1998, I probably found it on WebCrawler search, along with DoomNation, DoomShack, and a 4th site I can't remember the name of.

I don't have this game, but the first one that comes to mind is Go Home.

It runs, it just doesn't receive the latest client updates. It will probably continue to run indefinitely, and even after that, the command-line client that few people know about will probably work indefinitely. Not that I recommend DRM-platform gaming. Always check out DRM-free vendors like gog.com first when game-shopping.

I've yet to encounter this in any meaningful way. Both my high-end PCs are dedicated W7. Not really, because if I need anything that requires W10 or later, I have a dedicated low-end mini-PC for that (about $100), which is stored away in another room, that I can simply Remote Desktop into. If I wanted to play the latest high-end games (which I don't), then sure I would need to be running the latest systems. This isn't true, as I actually haven't installed a single Windows update of any kind since 2016. Isn't that incredibly risky, you might say? Absolutely not, since I purchased high quality backup software (Macrium Reflect), which creates fully functional incremental backups of my OS on a daily basis, which can be restored if necessary in under 10 minutes. I even have multiple cold-storage backups in case some virus goes on some LAN rampage and destroys my regular backups, which let's be honest, isn't going to happen anyway. What about banking, or some other task that requires extra security? Again, that can be done on any modern low-end PC. I understand that keeping up to date with the latest OS, software, hardware, patches etc is the simplest and easiest choice for the vast majority of people. But this is strictly a choice, not a requirement.

I never liked/used it in the first place, so therefore I have no conceivable reason to criticize this.

Interesting that pretty much every response in the thread answered a different question than the one that was asked.

Just upgraded my GPU for the first time since 2017. Got a 3080 Ti XC3.

I guess the answer to the question of "why would anyone use Metaverse" is "they wouldn't", and they're just hoping their investors are too lazy or delusional to realize this.

Can someone explain to me what their grandiose vision was for VR? I've yet to hear anyone explain how VR was going to be anything more than a small niche in the video game market. Why did a dying social media company think this technology would save it?

Trackpoint (joystick between B,G,H keys on laptop) for movement and left-right touchpad buttons for fire and strafe. Left hand basically only needed for weapon switching.

Wolf 3D has no maps. The maps that you find online are generally screenshots taken from the level editor. Like I said, the designer of this level put blood on the walls to help you find the exit.

Also, you don't have to memorize the map above. Just follow the path that has the blood smeared on the walls, and it will take you in that direction.

Apparently this is the intended path through the level to avoid being overwhelmed.

I'm doing everything I can to avoid products-as-a-service. I just bought and activated a copy of Office 2007. Now is a good time to start hoarding software-that-you-own while you can.
