Developer id Software
Wolfenstein 3D is a 1992 first-person shooter game developed by id Software and published by Apogee Software and FormGen for MS-DOS.

In Wolfenstein 3D, the player assumes the role of Allied spy William "B.J." Blazkowicz during World War II as he escapes from the Nazi German prison Castle… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

unlabelledView post →Big fan of the era when "tech" meant video game graphics were improving dramatically every year. We went from Wolfenstein 3D to Half Life 2 in a little over 10 years and since then everything kinda looks about as good as Half Life 2 did
unlabelledView post →📖 Bytes of Game Ads 📺 Get Psyched! Wolfenstein 3D still burning bright in '93 in this full-page ad from Compute! Magazine. I love some of the details, like how they're still not quite sure what to call it with its first-person perspective and 3D graphics so it's a 'virtual reality' game.
unlabelledView post →Fashion Police Squad has so many amazing references in it 🥹 this segment of the game is awesome, it looks and plays just like Wolfenstein 3D! It's a nice throwback to a beloved classic, and it's really fun too! The game makes references to other media and internet culture as well, it's cool to see!
unlabelledView post →Get psyched! Blasting its way through Nazi fortresses 34 years ago today: Wolfenstein 3D! Released as shareware (first episode free and you bought the rest) on May 5th 1992, this 'virtual reality' game, as it's described here, laid more groundwork for a generation of first-person shooters.
unlabelledView post →📖 Bytes of Game Ads 📺 Wolfenstein 3D - A Virtual Nightmare. It's one of those cute of-the-time things to see first-person shooters and perspective games described as 'virtual reality' as FPS hadn't been coined yet. Uncanny valley, with the Wolfenstein logo in such a futuristic font 😅
unlabelledView post →Now on SNES in '94: Wolfenstein 3D. A game that felt wild at the time to see pop up on a Nintendo console. I like how the better-than comparison is to the FPS sections of Ocean's Jurassic Park game, which really would have been the first some peeps would have experienced anything FPS-ey.
unlabelledView post →in 1993 a 17 year old kid played Wolfenstein 3d and really said "huh, can i make this?". So he made a similar engine for his game called Ken's Labyrinth. Later on the continued improvements to the engine led to Duke Nukem 3D, BLOOD, and Powerslave/Exhumed (PC)

While searching our storage, our founder, Scott Miller, found an original Master Carton of Wolfenstein 3D. The box crumbled into dust 30 minutes after unboxing it.

unlabelledView post →i wrote about this in an old blog post but afaik Wolfenstein 3D Episode 4 Floor 3 is the only level in the game where you pick up a key that you can't use anywhere in the level. funnily enough the key is shown being picked up in of the game's attract mode demos. ellaguro.blogspot.com/2012/04/adve...

unlabelledView post →Apparently my YouTube channel is 11 today! The stats tell me my most watched video is one I did very early on about how Wolfenstein 3D (the DOS era game) worked. I've been threatening to make a Doom and Quake followup ever since...oops. www.youtube.com/channel/UCC3...
unlabelledView post →Wolfenstein 3D was IMO the most important game of 1992 as it basically "invented" an entire genre...the first person shooter or FPS game...which is still the dominant genre in 2025! youtu.be/fsAumlLnCyQ

unlabelledView post →I think the biggest reason I'm picky about video games is the fact that the first game I ever played all the way through was Wolfenstein 3D, and it's frankly all kind of downhill after you've been a redheaded Henry Rollins who kills Hitler.

unlabelledView post →The first 3D game in the Catacomb series, Catacomb 3-D, used the engine that would later power Wolfenstein 3D. Then The Catacomb Abyss was built on the engine after that. So while people refer to Wolfenstein 3D as the game that changed things forever, it was probably actually Catacomb 3-D.

But the real kicker for me was MECHWARRIOR 2 and Netmech over Kali and msn gaming zone. That right there hooked me solid forever
