About

Rumors are that deep within the castle the diabolical Dr. Schabbs has perfected a technique for building a fierce army from the bodies of the dead. It's so far removed from reality that it would seem silly if it wasn't so sick. But what if it were true?

As an escaped prisoner in a Nazi war prison, you will move smoothly through a 3D world full of amazing detail and animation. Run through sensational and realistic 3-D environments, with intelligently-moving guards and opponents.

Winner of multiple industry awards in 1992 - including People's Choice Award - Wolfenstein 3D has been described as "one of the most important games ever created" (PC Gamer) and has been voted "Best Arcade/Action Game" by numerous publications.
