wolfenstein3d facts 1. wolfenstein3d was released for pcs running DOS on may 5, 1992. 2. all versions of the game, excluding the snes port, were banned in germany due to nazi related imagery (somewhat ironic since the nazis were the bad guys) 3. according to legend, ID software hated the snes port of the game due to it's sensorship (which included the boss's name changed from hitler to stotmiester and having his mustash shaved), and the clone Super 3d noa's ark was payback on their part. this has yet to be verified. 4. the game was invisioned as a remake of the 1981 apple 2 game, escape from castle wolfenstein (also known as just Castle Wolfenstein). 5. there are 2 connections to ID's First game, the platformer "commander keen". the first is the swastica in that game's 5th episode which suggested, and ultimately forshadowed, the planned remake of the afformentioned apple 2 game. the second is there's a a grandfather and grandson relationship between the protagonists of both games. Both ID software and their publishing partner, Apogee, have confirmed these connections. 6. Roburt "bobby" Prince, the composer for this game and other ID software titles (including doom) created the music using Sequencer Plus Gold by Voyetra. 7. ID software Lisenced the game engine to various independent developpers shortly after the game's release. Some of the developpers to whom it was lisenced include Ken silverman (who went on to create the build engine that powered Duke Nukem 3d), wisdom Tree (creator of Super 3d Noa's Ark), and Capstone. Publisher Apogee would later use the engine in-house to develop Rise of the triad:Dark war, which, insidentally, began life as a sequel to Wolfenstein 3d. 8. One of the secret levels in the 3rd episode is a first person remake of the arcade classic, Pac-man. 9. In the ports published by Mac Play (Mac OS, 3do, and Apple IIgs), the nazis are voiced by native germans, as opposed to being improvised like was the case with ID's own ports. 10 There is a secret maze in episode 2 level 8, there is a sign reading "call apogee and say Ardwolf". According to Apogee staffer Joe seagler (who later became the original voice of duke nukem in his second 2d appearance), this was part of a contest that was scrapped due the spread of hacking and cheating tools. 11. • Many elements of the original Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein games (such as silent attacks, dragging dead bodies, changing uniforms, etc.) were completely programmed into Wolfenstein 3D, but the decision was made to cut them out in the interest of simplifying gameplay. If you don't think that these elements would have complicated the game, you should try playing Hitman: Codename-47. 12. the intro music (not to be confused with the title theme) is based on a real song, "horst Wessel's Song" (Horst wessellide in german), which was the official theme of the Nazis. However, this was changed in most of the ports, including the snes (of course) and jaguar ports, and the ports made by mac play.
