In this prequel to Wolfenstein 3D, the Nazis have stolen the Spear of Destiny, a relic that was used to pierce the side of Jesus Christ and is said to make the bearer invincible, from Versailles in the early days of the Blitzkrieg in World War II. As B.J. Blazkowicz, your mission is to recover the Spear from Hitler before it's too late. Developed by id Software and published by FormGen Corporation, Spear of Destiny added some new graphics, but was essentially a collection of new levels for Wolfenstein 3D. Spear of Destiny uses the same engine (and source code) as Wolfenstein 3D, and the two games are virtually indistinguishable from each other, other than new wall textures and new bosses and enemies. Originally a single episode, two new missions were released in 1994. There are 3 missions in this game, with only the first two levels of the first mission playable in the shareware demo.

Mission 1 - Spear of Destiny
Mission 2 - Return to Danger
Mission 3 - Ultimate Challenge
