Gee, what can I possibly say about this game? It's only the game that revolutionized gaming and brought the 3D Shooter genre to computers around the world! You are B.J. Blazkowicz and you have to escape Castle Wolfenstein and kill as many Nazis as you can. Programmed for Apogee by id Software, Apogee released the game to the shareware market, and id later released it to the retail market. Version 1.2 lists as v1.1 on the title screen, but it is actually v1.2. It was released 4 days after v1.1 and can be identified by B.J. wearing gloves while holding a machine gun. Shortly after v1.4 was released, Apogee removed the cheat/debug mode by hex-edited the executable and changing the code from "goobers" to seven spaces (it is still possible to enter Debug mode by typing 'wolf3d -"(7 spaces)"'. They later restored the cheat mode and released v1.4g (for "goobers"), though the game still lists as v1.4 everywhere. There are 6 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

Episode 1 - Escape from Wolfenstein
Episode 2 - Operation: Eisenfaust
Episode 3 - Die, Fuhrer, Die!
Episode 4 - A Dark Secret
Episode 5 - Trail of the Madman
Episode 6 - Confrontation
