  • What's spear of destiny? is that a sequel to Wolfenstein 3D?

  • @Redgrant80 Yep, its not so much a sequel, but its virtually identical, so more of a stand alone expansion with a different name.

  • I can't find Terrorpods, Catch 23. Glass or Operation Wolf =(

  • Eh ? Never heard of em, apart from Operation Wolf. Thanx for making suggestions. Its good to know whats missing. Silent Debuggers for example, how did I mange to miss it ?

  • its sick how much Wolfenstein is ahead of his time

  • Quite an advancement. ID have always been ahead of the game from the start. However Ultima was creating 3D environments way befor Quake. Pay special attention to the Colony (in Vol1) this game had ray casting befor ID did. In terms of looks and gameplay Wolf 3D was so good that still today many people refer to it as the first FPS.

  • I think you have confused dungeon crallers, vehicle simulaters, and space shooters with first person shooters, just because a game is in the first person view point doesn't make a shooter.

  • Castle master love it

  • I'll always remember Midwinter on the Atari ST I wish they do a remake broadly similar to GTA, but lonely and desolate and cold!

  • I think the term 'first person shooter' didn't exist before Wolf3D. They were all just lumped in as 'shoot em ups', the games prior to that. But I think just because Wolf was the first to have a gun sprite in your hand, so what, that doesn't make it the first fps. Catacomb's gameplay looked very similar to Wolf, to me.

  • @Zombie1990 Beats me. I love Wolfenstein 3D to death, but you'd have a hard task explaining how exactly it is the first FPS when Balgorg has put up two videos worth (and 18 years worth) of first person games that predate it.

  • @natevines Agreed. I do love Wolf3D (and I mean LOVE), but Catacomb 3D's engine actually looks a bit better, to me, and that came out first

  • @wejw14 They're in a first person perspective, you're often wandering around mazes shooting at things. How are these games not FPS's?

  • @Szederp Hell, Balgorg came out with a whole video detailing the huge amount of first person games that have come out since 1974! lol. Wolfenstein 3D was in no way the first first-person-shooter.

  • This is awesome. ^_^

  • Freescape engine kick ass !!!

  • The first background song is from Unreal Tournament 99 :)
