To really appreciate the game, you'd have to play it back when it first came out. Wolf3d was the first DOS game I've played, on our new IBM compatible computer. Before it, I had been relentlessly pestering my parents to get me a SuperNES, but once we fired up Wolf and heard that music and effects on the Soundblaster 16 card, all notions of SuperNES went out the window. I was a computer gamer now. Good times.

I can see now why this video took so long to come out. AN ENTIRE SECTION DEDICATED TO HOW H I T S C A N IS CALCULATED!? You are a mad man and your passion really shows man. Great video!

This was incredibly good, beginning to end. Loved the pacing in particular. Hopefully with the success of your Doom and Quake videos, this one can be up there in your most popular, and maybe push more wolfenstein in the future.

The multiplication 2/3 for SS and bosses is for distance, effectively shortening the distance between you and the enemy. For example, the tiers for normal enemies are 2, 4, higher than 4, and this means SS/bosses have the tiers of 3, 6 and higher than 6. In other word, when SS in 3 distance, it still deal the max damage by only /4. Technically the division is a digit moving which will remove the fractions I believe. So >>2 means /4 and it will remove the remainder of the number. For example, the RNG is 129 (10000001) in binary), moving 2 digits to the right will become 32 (100000) and the 1 on the rightmost digit was thrown away. Therefore I think the damage is rounded down. Note: I'm no pro of C, so it may be wrong as I recently read the code as well.

I actually think having the Nazi Anthem as the intro is genius because from the moment you hit start it gets cut off by the track "Wondering About My Loved Ones", and both tracks to me kinda plays into the Nazi's basically being victorious at this time - to the point of capturing BJ as a prisoner. But as soon as you enter the game, it's all about getting your revenge on every last nazi scumbag in Castle Wolfenstein. You're given this dystopia (something the later Wolfenstein games would love to use as a theme) that YOU are going to singlehandedly fix. Badass.

39:55 Every time you fire your gun in Wolf3D, the game checks if you aggro idle enemies by checking whether you share the same "room code" assigned to both your floor tiles. When you open a door, both connecting rooms are treated as the same code until it closes again. Ideally the level designer never uses the same code twice on the same map, but there is a hard limit, so if you make a mistake or run out of codes, you can create a scenario where the player fires his gun at one end of the map and alerts enemies way the hell and gone, and they'll start coming for you, even through locked doors. There are also "deaf" tiles you can place under an enemy, to create an ambush scenario - the deaf guard will only aggro from directly seeing the player. Or you have ambushes where the same room code is deliberately assigned to a series of rooms so that the doors all fly open at once as soon as you kill a bait guard.

Thy Flesh Consumed, or as I like to call it, Thy Cocks Consumed

As a kid I got the GT Software retail release that came with the hint book. Having the maps and all of the trivia was great and I really fell in love with the game. Doom completely blew it out of the water but I have a special nostalgia for Wolf-3D.

I love it when difficulty settings in a video game tease you with names like these

I'Instead of ECWolf I played the Doom Total Conversion. And in there, all of the secret walls are visible on the map as squares, so getting every secret was actually pretty easy. And since it's still Doom, you can add mods to it, so I added Ketchup! Wolfenstein 3D is even more fun when you can actually paint an entire corridor red from nazi blood

Fun fact about the aardwolf sign in e2 m8, the original reason why it was there because they were going to do a completion and there was a prize for the first person to reach it and call the number. But due to the amount of mapping programs and cheating engines they cancelled the comp but didn't remove the sign.

Another quality video from our guy Trav Guy! Appreciated the technical section partway through to explain how hitscans are calculated. Fun fact with the sound card being emulated here, if memory serves me right it's SoundBlaster emulation, which at the time were sound cards using similar chips to the YM2612 used in the Genesis. Many games with sound blaster will sound comfortably similar to the Genesis because of such.

Adlib used FM synth to generate music and sound effects. The file format for the music was IDM ID music they didn't use Midi until the doom engine ID tech 1. Wolfenstine reused a good amount of the development tools made for Commander Keen the same music subsystem and level editor TED.

24:02 note that this problem wasn’t really present in the original. The original game had a strafe key bound to mouse2 rather than strafeleft and straferight, meaning everything the keyboard could do, the mouse could do better (except pressing 3 once you get the chaingun). The effect of this is to create a 1-handed control scheme where both movement and turning are controlled by the mouse. Your character would accelerate and decelerate in response to the movement of the mouse rather than instantly changing velocity. In ECWolf, you actually can use A and D, so you’d have to be crazy to play mouse-only.

We have our intricate DooMs, fantastic UnreaLs and physics-bending Half-Lifes, but we sometimes tend to forget how the roots of First Person gaming started and evolved from there. Seeing your playthrough & thoughts on this here really makes us appreciate while re-discovering the importance of Wolfenstein games again and I Thank You So Much for that.

Oh my god the drinking blood off the floor thing. When I was a kid this happened to me once or up until this video I thought I dreamed it or something. I used to play this game when I was like 5 and i heard that sound effect one time and only once. I tried for years to replicate what I did to make that happen and I suspected it was the floor blood or water. Years go by and I decide it must have been a dream because I tried everything I could think of. You just blew my mind and gave me closure on something I’ve been internally gaslighting myself on for 25 years.

interesting story - hall and sandy p have both confirmed that the goal of these games was to be as graphic and violent as possible, so they chose nazis (and later demons) as enemies in order to avoid censorship. because who would stick up for nazis or demons? pretty smart

Yo, Trav! Here's another extra trivia: Did you know that the weapons are based on ACTUAL WW2 weapons used by the Germans? * The Pistol (Slot 2) is based on the Luger P08 (at least in the Macintosh port), though there's some inconsistencies when it comes in other ports, with the original PC port states that it was based on the Walther P38, and the Jaguar port has the Pistol based on the Beretta 92FS. The Luger P08 has been later used in future Wolfenstein titles. * The Machine Gun (Slot 3) is clearly based on the MP40.

Hands down the best Wolf 3D material I've seen. I gotta say man, bravo on making a video on such a, dare I say it, simple game so entertaining. Wolf 3D is undeniably the granddaddy of modern FPS but I found watching your review far more enjoyable than the repetitive grind of playing it myself.

When I first played this as a kid I think I got until the first blue SS and found them impossible to kill because I was a dumb kid. I actually got much happier childhood memories from Catacomb 3D which was on the same shareware CD.

Nice video, i like how you added comments and notes from the devs book is great and kind of relief to see that everyone even some of the most legendary creators had their amateur beginning

Carmack didn't do more with less. He did less with less. It required less processing power because floors were blank, ceilings were blank and everything was on the same level and aligned to an axis. Ultima underworld had textured floors, textured ceilings, sloped walls, sloped floors, sloped ceilings, water, level-over-level polygonal geometry such as bridges. The correct lesson is to not overengineer things that don't need it; ultima underworld was an immersive sim; it needed those things to be compelling; shooting nazis needed framerate more than complexity.

Good stuff dude , as expected.

Yo man im so glad i just found this channel ❤

39:50 this is actually a Wolf 3D quirk. The thing is when you kill an enemy on an opened door, unlike Doom which closes and crushes the corpse, Wolf 3D will not have the doors closed. This applies for all doors, including doors that need a key to be opened. And apparently some enemies can open these locked doors if they're alerted from the other side. So I used this trick to sometimes bypass key searches, kill an enemy on the door and have it be open forever. Fun stuff.

This game single-handedly caused me to stop wanting a console as a child. Before that I had nothing to show to my peers with the Sega Megadrive and it's games. With all due respect, a Golden Axe port and Commander Keen couldn't impress a Megadrive owner that much. Then Wolfenstein-3D came and proved that a crappy 1990 i386 laptop with a monochrome lcd is a potent 32-bit gaming machine.

As far as the enemies opening locked doors, that is not just an artifact of the engine you were playing on. I played this back in the DOS days and a few times had the SS and Officers open the locked door in E5M9 before I fought Greta. So, that's a thing that could definitely happen in the original version of the game also. Fun fact, I kept saved games at the beginning of every boss level so I could play them over and over again. E5 was by far the easiest boss map, I could kill Greta with just a pistol I grinded that level so much.

Your pronunciation of of the German was both funny and remarkably close. You basically had Giftmacher dead on. The video slaps as well, I just wanted to compliment you on that specifically cuz I know German pronunciation can be really hard

Finally, I have been waiting for this video

To quote that meme Gianni once voiced: “Killing nazis is a slippery slope, and I love waterslides.”

To shed light on the locked doors mixing up colors/keys: Im the map editor, there are two different locked doors: gold key and silver key. Both doors do use the same door texture, but the direction the map maker places the door, as in North-south or east-west determines if the light door texture is used or if the dark texture is used. Its done this way to show pseudo lighting effects, and all the different walls have two textures, a light and dark varient that behave this way. The outdoor texture behaves the same way, as in facing direction displays the day texture, and the opposite direction displays the night texture

I was watching this video in the background while playing Doom Eternal, and it's incredible how far technology has come. Raycasting and sudo-3D used to be cutting edge, and now we have destructable enemies, raytracing, in-game cutscenes, voice acting, and full audio file music, not just MIDI
