As a kid, when we were messing with MS DOS.. one of the games i was hooked on to, was Wolf3d. I used to sit nights just searching for the secret door for stash of guns, ammo and health. The Game play was straight forward..i.e., “Kill the nazis and complete the level”…

Back at college, or at the labs, we used to discuss this in maps, strategies and more. So that we know how to do our next more. Then Rush home to continue on the game. if im not mistaken the complete game used to fit into a floppy as a compressed zip file and when we used to unzip it into our pcs and type “wold3d” on dos prompt to run it.

Here are some more screens if it brings back memories

A small research into this…i found out it was developed by ID software and published by Apogee Software. Apogee software came out with many publications like Dukenukem, SuperNova and Biomenace. Will do a write up on them shortly.
