01Overview
Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter developed by id Software and one of the games that helped define the early FPS genre. Players control Allied spy B.J. Blazkowicz as he fights through Nazi strongholds filled with guards, attack dogs and heavily armed officers. Each level is built from maze-like corridors and rooms, with players searching for keys, secret areas, ammunition and health before reaching the exit elevator. Combat is fast and straightforward, using weapons such as the knife, pistol, machine gun and chaingun. Levels are grouped into episodes, with major encounters ending in boss fights against tougher enemies. The original release included the first three episodes, while the later Nocturnal Missions added three more campaigns with additional levels and challenges.

EDITIONS
BASE GAME
Wolfenstein 3D
Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter presented with rudimentary 3D graphics and a follow-up to the top-down infiltration game Castle Wolfenstein. The game is broken up into levels, each of which is a flat plane divided into areas and rooms by a grid-based pattern of walls and doors, all of equal height. Each level is themed after Nazi bunkers and buildings. To finish a level, the player must traverse through the area to reach an elevator. Levels are grouped together into named episodes, with the final level focusing on a boss fight with a particularly difficult enemy. While traversing the levels, the player must fight Nazi guards and soldiers, dogs, and other enemies while managing supplies of ammunition and health. While the name was kept the same as the original release, this and future releases of the game came with the base campaign and the Nocturnal Missions expansion campaign together.
