Wolfenstein 3D

Brace yourself...

We are B.J. Blazkowicz, an all-American hero battling his way through the dreaded Castle Wolfenstein killing every Nazi baddie along the way. No, you're not dreaming. Rub your eyes in disbelief all you want because it's happening - Wolfenstein 3D is running on the 8Mhz Atari ST (enhanced for the STe). Staggering!!

This classic ID game has been converted to the Atari ST/e by Reimund Dratwa (The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation) and, in case you're wondering, the gameplay is authentic with ultra-responsive controls and without any lag. My STe is running this classic first-person shooter as well as I could hope. It feels like the same game we remember playing with levels, enemies, and sounds just like in the PC game.

Wolfenstein features 32 colours, authentic texture mapping, and a high-detail mode (activated by hitting the asterisk key on the numerical keypad). Chipmusic is by Mathieu Stempell and thus truly outstanding as you would expect. Sound effects are fantastic; played using the DMA hardware on the Atari STe.

Sadly, this is incomplete with some missing levels but, what we have, is polished and every bit as good as you'd hope. Reimund stayed up most nights coding until 5am and I'm positive he scraped together every last droplet of Atari ST power. I can only imagine what witchcraft was used for its development!

The Atari ST has Wolfenstein 3D. Take a moment to think about this. Wow, get it downloaded right away!

The menu system is clear and concise with incredible details and colour.

Sadly, some of the scenarios aren't available to play.

I love those hands coming out from the barrel, killer pixel artwork!

Please do remember that Wolf 3D is unfinished and stop moaning!

I had to laugh at these drawings which are truly superb, especially the first one!!

I recorded a silly video ;o)
