Description
Part of my Franchise Quest, an attempt to play all of the games of some of the biggest gaming franchises or series. This one is for Wolfenstein, the classic FPS franchise that predates DOOM yet often falls under its shadow.
- 155%2 PlatformsApple II, PCThis and its sequel serve as little more than charming reminders of the genesis of video games, and I personally don't think they're worth playing today. Watching them is great fun though!

- 373%10 PlatformsA solid FPS from that pre-DOOM era where it's really just a bunch of mazes. I understand the hardware limitations, and I still find it fun! With a few mods for modern hardware compatability, this is an easy to pick up but barebones Nazi-killing shooter.
Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny
Main Story4 HoursMain + Extra7½ HoursCompletionist8½ Hours- 467%1 PlatformsPCMore Wolf3D and in the same engine, too. The difficulty is slightly higher here, with more convoluted mazes than ever! Jokes aside, it's no more than a map pack for Wolf3D, and shouldn't be treated as anything more. The last level is a treat though!
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Main Story8 HoursMain + Extra10 HoursCompletionist11 Hours- 577%1 PlatformsPCThis could've been a really basic WWII shooter, but it keeps it fresh by adding in some crazy enemies and weapons reminiscent of the Doom series! Good overall, though there are frustrating points and some outright bad levels, including the titular Return.
