Trivia
E2M8 is impossible to complete with 100% in all categories, due to there being a push-wall maze on the maps that was intended to be part of a contest, which required a sign to be found saying "Call Apogee Say 'Aardwolf'". However, the contest was aborted when the game came out, but the sign was left in. In hindsight, the developers said that they should've removed the sign before release, because they were flooded with calls and mails by players asking what it was about. In later versions, it was replaced with a standard prop from the game.

Goofs
Although Wolfenstein 3D takes place during World War 2, the enemy soldier getting knocked down by B.J. Blazkowicz on the box cover of the game, is carrying an M16. That weapon didn't exist until 1960.

Alternate versions
The Apple, 3DO, and Jaguar versions all featured improved sound effects and music, and high-resolution graphics. Most notably, the Apple and PC version had different introduction and end level screens. The 3DO and Jaguar versions featured weapon sprites from Doom (1993) and Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994), respectively.

The first RPG

In my opinion, this was the first role playing game that deserved attention. I remember playing this at work, and boy, I remember how my boss nearly fired me! In Wolfenstein 3D you are BJ Blazkowicz, and in the most known episode, you have to escape Castle Wolfenstein after being taken P.O.W. For nostalgic players like me, this still has soft spot in my heart for when I first played it 11 years ago. I'm still more used to playing Doom (which I still do all the time), but Wolfenstein 3D was the game that triggered amazing feats like Doom. I remember being terrified by zombies in this game, but then I look at the year after (1993) and when I was scared out of my socks by man eating Demons in Doom.

Wonderful game, and it will get 10/10 from me.
