7/9/2023 0 Comments Wolfenstein 3d cover art![]() The Wolfenstein franchise, which began in 1981 with Castle Wolfenstein, had a bit of a lull after 3D, but picked up steam again in the early 2000s with Return to Castle Wolfenstein. That’s roughly the size of just one of my wedding pictures. Amazingly, it needed only 500k of memory and 8MB HDD space for the full install. Wolfenstein 3D was amazing on the 486 in my father’s basement, but it only required a 286 processor to run. Shareware was all the rage, the 486 processors were getting to be affordable, and memory was still at a premium. Helping to popularize the FPS genre, Wolfenstein 3D introduced the world to renowned badass B.J. Whether or not you ever played an ASCII game on a BBS, if you’ve been playing games for a few years, you’re probably familiar with some of these classics.
