I remember packing this game around on my floppies and playing it anywhere I could. This game blew my mind in terms of what games could be when it was new. I loved using the level editor to make my own levels. I made my High School, house and many other awesome levels with the Wolf Editor. I never beat all the Episodes save Episode 1. Had the shareware version for quite some time before I copied the original full game. Always felt bad about that, but I have purchased it MANY times over since as an adult. One memory I have of Wolf 3D is building up a boot disc so I could get the sound blaster to work in game. Cool to see things evolve such that I don't have to do that any more.

What are your favourite memories of this game?

PS the above commentary with John Carmack is amazing, check it out.

Oh man... stupid Steam sales. I can't afford to keep saving so much money.

Since I already bought RAGE, I'm not sure if I can justify this. I have a little over an hour to decide. Decisions, decisions.

And why isn't the new Wolfenstein included in the id super pack? http://store.steampowered.com/app/10170/

If it were, this would be a no-brainer.

I wondered that myself. They did it with Raven and maybe them and the publisher couldn't work something out?

Nabbed it on the iPhone. Picked it up on the PS3 before the newest Wolf was released.
