Unfortunately, she died in a freak skiing accident a few months later when there were patches of ice that weren’t cleared on the slopes. This game holds dear to our family, and was one of the last things left behind by her. We also have a baseball pinball machine that she won after getting a high score. It’s unfortunate because I was only 3 at the time, and it seems as though she was the only other gamer in the family aside from me.

I bought Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood because it was about a world filled with Nazi's who have won the World War II at the time. It was really interesting to think that such horrible regime could take over the world... so I played both and was impressed by its game mechanics, storyline and much more. After watching this video, it's good to see it's history and what led to ultimately the popular title now. You should've mentioned that the Wolfenstein: Old Blood has the 'nightmare' modes where you Blazkowicz sleeps and dreams of the Wolfenstein 3D levels and has to get to the exit (or quit) to end the level. The twist is everything is the same except here, B.J. can wear extra armour for protection and he uses a more stylized weapon (not pixelated, but more detailed) from the actual game!

When someone asks me: How long ago were the 90s? Look no further than Wolfenstein and Doom and see how games looked back then compared to today. There's always those 2 games that are groundbreaking when it comes to paving the way. Whether its Pacman and Mario, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Wolfenstein and Doom.

These RetroAhoys I've found in the past week have made this one of my favourite channels. Simply brilliant!

When I discovered this game as a kid I was immediately hooked. Obviously I had no idea of its significance and how it would shape the future of the FPS!

this channel is nostalgia overload. I forgot about soooo many good games that I used to play

Amazing video! Wonderful work! Thanks so much for bringing back these memories and stories!

Commander Keen was one of the first games I ever played, on my grandpa's computer. He'd worked in silicon valley as a contractor in the 80s and 90s, and he'd picked it up from somewhere. It's been almost 15 years since he died, and I wish I'd known enough to ask him more about that time.

Good memories playing this for the first time in 1993.

Reneging health and unlimited lives arn't "better" there simply a different choice in game design and what challenge it offers, i much prefer the oldskool fps style to modern, unfortunately there aren't many new games that follow the old principles.

+xisumavoid There are plenty of games without regenerating health. TF2, CS:GO, Payday 2, etc. General rule of thumb, if it isn't designed for filthy casuals it doesn't have regening health

wow...this was so well researched

I can't get enough of the snarky but very well written narration. You'd think these would be too long, but a lot of what carries it is the excellent voicing.

Professional production and very informative. It's content like this that makes me remember why I gave up on cable and TV in general more than a decade ago. Thanks!

I have to second what some others have said, Stu. As someone who's been with you since the original Black Ops videos, I honestly feel that this is the best work you've done to date. Flawlessly voiced and edited as always, but the pacing and narrative progression were absolutely top notch! Thanks again for all the work you put into these--it absolutely does show.

"Mein Leiben!" Sounds like what they yell anyways

Awesome video. One of the most important games for me and still playing it occasionally. Cool music too, especially Wondering About My Loved Ones (26:55).

Dude your video editing is so fucking fresh! I love how you've scripted your monologue in such a good rythm with the visuals, and the occasional pun makes it even better. Excellent!

Can't wait for your take on the Doom series.

It sucks that these videos don't get more views, they're so well made and brilliant

I've just spent the last two hours watching your videos, many thanks for the info-tainment, Ahoy. And the alliteration.

This guy's videos are some of the most well put together and polished content in the over saturated me too retro gaming review/commentator niche.

What a great and nostalgia-inducing episode! (Though I must say, the last gen console footage of The New Order was pretty painful to look at)

WOW - So much work involved.. Thank you Ahoy.

0:00 Nah mate. PC gaming has always been glorious, with or without amazing graphics. Not that I don't love my NES, but I love my classic PC titles at least as much.

Wolfenstein 2009 is one of the most underrated games ever

+MacDeth being the worst of the franchise doesn't mean it's bad. Also it has much more badass and fun to use weapons than The New Order.

Crowbar I can see your point, but personally it didn't give me the same feeling. The 2009 game felt like it took the whole Wolfenstein supernatural aspect way out of hand. This felt as if it was taking away from the typical Wolfenstein feel that at that point I had been used to in W3D, RTCW, and W:ET. Also, if I recall correctly, the multiplayer was really terrible in comparison to W:ET. While I can definitely see how the shakeup may have been awesome to some people, perhaps I wasn't up to as much of a deviation.

MacDeth yeah the Wolfenstein of 2009 kinda suffers from an identity crisis, but it's still a great game IMO. I agree the multiplayer was terrible.

Yep, Wolfenstein 2009 was the second Wolfenstein game I have played and finished like 10 times I believe. That made me play way more games than before.

Excellent video presentation and research. The footage of early pre-wolf Romero/Carmack games is much appreciated and this video compliments that Doom paperback / early days of ID nicely.

Great retrpspective. Excellently researched and presented. There was a game on the TRS-80 model one, I think around 1979. It was called Asylum. There was no shooting, but it was a 3D maze-type game. You had to escape from a mental hospital. Everything was drawn in 3D perspective, so as you walked down a hallway, it looked like that. Pretty good for an 8-bit Z80 with 32K of RAM! Then later, with W3D: For me, as a player in those days, I was astounded by the immersive quality of the 3D realm. At the same time, after playing through a time or two, I wanted to break out. It was other FPS games that allowed a walk outside, or even onto a rooftop a feeling of an open world. That was yet another leap forward.

"For some reason after WW2 the Nazis were a preferred enemy" Yeah I can't imagine why

plus, they're just unimaginably bad, and it's more mainstream. If you fought against the Japanese, it would feel a bit weird, as their atrocities, while just as bad, are less wellknown, and while in casualties and long term effects outweighed it, it was overshadowed by the nuclear bombing.

christ i remember growing up to this franchise,it's sad seeing it nowadays the new wolfenstein games because it lost that good old WW2 aspect,i can still remember beating RTCW (2001) so many fucking times i was mad about i beat the whole game like 80 times i loved it so much...good times wolfenstein is my favourite game franchise even more than the hitman one,which is also so awesome.

Been playing it since I was 3 years old in 95 and still play it today. The modding scene for it has some incredible mods and it’s still going strong!

I had just completed this. This was also the first game that my father introduced to me as a child. I'm glad that I still own a CD and a virtual copy for this game, return to castle wolfenstein, and doom 95

Your videos are masterfully crafted, thanks.

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is still the best multiplayer shooter ever created in my opinion =)

While I love Doom and the franchise itself I don't think that any of the games could be called the best game ever, its absolutely one of the best of its kind though. Doom being the best game ever is really hard to believe, but its completely debatable the it being the best shooter ever.

Your retro videos get me excited as I live in that era, even though I was born in the late '90s

Discovered this channel today. Got to say, I've been in nerd heaven for a few hours now. Thanks a lot. The channel reminds me of LEMMiNO, but only in the pathological detail. I love that.

Absolutely fantastic watch. Thank you.

One of the best and most memorable PC games I played. I still remember Hitler and Goerring stepping into the fray as robot zombies with mechanical spider legs and Gatling guns for arms. From memory, I was charmed and had some solid cheats to fall back on. No way I would’ve ground out that result with standard rations and settings.
