Pros: The first, great story, get to kill Nazis
Cons: Somewhat cartoony, that's it!
Summary: Oh, how I remember the day I got Wolfenstein 3D in the mail; it was a joyous day. I had the shareware version and within weeks had ordered the complete version, all seven episodes. For those of you who aren't familiar with Wolfenstein 3D, ... read more

Pros: Started a craze!
Cons: Possible offensive to Germans
Summary: Released in the early 90's, Wolf 3D was the first successful First Person Shooter game but not the first. Catacomb 3d which was released by the same company that made Wolfenstein, ID Software, though it was not half as successful as Wolf.

Pros: Low system requirements, addictive, easy to play
Cons: Low graphics level, sound partially distorted, only 4 weapons, no multiplayer
Summary: Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first games I ever played. In fact, I think this might actually be the FIRST 3D first-person-shooter game EVER! This game holds back in many categories (low graphics, very few weapons, no ... read more

Pros: first 3D shoot'em up, the first episode is free
Cons: same things over and over, gets boring quick
Summary: This game was the first 3D shoot'em up and deserves credit for that. And it has that same gripping feel to it that all games of this genre have. At first it was blast to fire my pistol at those Germans. (God, I feel guilty saying that!)

Pros: It's THE ORIGINAL FPS. All the concepts of Wolfenstein live on.
Cons: By todays standards Wolfenstein sucks and wouldn't be anywhere with out nostalgia.
Summary: There are very few people who will be able to stand up and say that Wolfenstein is great without a nostalgic twang and reverence in their voices. Wolfenstein was the beginning of one of the biggest realms of computer gaming today: First Person Shooters ... read more

Pros: True classic in every sense of the word.
Cons: Probably unplayable on todays PCs. :-(

Pros: Fun, never gets old
Cons: basic graphics, old sound
Summary: I have had this game for years, and it never gets old. Now, I don't play it all the time, but I never get tired of it when I do play it. It came out in 1992, so some people may think this game is out dated. Well, let's say this game is a classic, and we ... read more

Pros: Addictive
Cons: Addictive
Summary: I've loved this game ever since ID Software came out with it around 1992. Before Quake, Duke Nukem 3D and those other "three-dimensional" games where you see nothing of your player but the rifle he's carrying and part of his arm there was ... read more

Pros: Lets just say it was revolutionary
Cons: The game doesn't start talking to you, revealing all of the mysteries of life
Summary: Many people don't give the credit that wolfenstein 3D so deserves for being the game that started the whole first-person shooter genre. Many people credit it to doom. But truly, doom was just a game that came way after it, and naturally because it did, ... read more

Pros: good plot, good strategy, it's the original
Cons: the graphics are lacking according to todays standards.

Cons: the graphics are a little worse from what we have today

Pros: Easy to learn, fun for hours & hours
Cons: Hard to play in death incarnate mode
Summary: Even though this is a DOS based game, I still enjoy playing it (I'm a 47 year old female by the way). I have played and re-played Wolfenstein 3D probably at least 500 times and I still haven't found every secret wall. My only complaint is that I have ... read more

Pros: Fun, Easy Tension Breaker
Cons: violent
Summary: I have found this game rather fun. With 3D dungeon type walking, it looks as if you are walking about the castle yourself. The graphics are average, and the violent content is mild. Watch out, parents, since there is killing involved, a lot of it. But if ... read more
