Wolfenstein 3D Celebrated

Bethesda is celebrating Wolfenstein 3D’s twentieth birthday by making the seminal classic available to play in browser form. Created by John Carmack and Jon Romero, it was not only the first example of the first-person shooter, but proved just how cutting edge PCs could be. This latest version is an excellent reproduction of the classic PC hit and is still great fun to play.

To continue the celebrations, there is also an excellent Youtube video that not only features John Carmack playing through the game, but also reveals how the cutting edge game was created. If you’re a fan of Id Software, or the first-person genre it makes for fascinating viewing.

    “Excellent reproduction”??! Well, in my experience that “browser version” is as shitty as anything I’ve tried to play on-line….

    Great game btw, I spend days lost in labyrinths and secret passages/levels back in my 286-powered gaming days…..
