Play Wolfenstein 3D in your Browser
When I first saw Wolfenstein 3D way back in 1992 it was one of the most amazing games I have ever seen. It featured full "3D" graphics, intense (and scary) first person action, and huge interactive levels. I was in college at the time of this game's release and it spread through the campus like wildfire. Everyone was playing this game and everyone was totally blown away.
Well, times sure have a changed! You can now the play the entire Wolfenstein 3D game in your browser ... using Flash. WolfenFlash 3D (requires the new Flash 8) plays exactly like the original and is still fun, but doesn't quite amaze me (or scare me) like it used to. What is amazing is that this entire game was so seamlessly translated into a Flash application. I can only imagine what things will be like 13 years from now ... where we'll play Xbox 360 on our cell phones. Now that's scary!
Awesome! I'm going to have some fun with this and I agree with imagining the future. It's going to be crazy. I'm right in the generation that's going to exposed to all of this too. ;)

Posted by Twiggs at October 12, 2005 10:46 PMIt isn't working for me. I hit macromedia.com for the latest flash and I just get a partial screen. hmmm
Ah, got it. After you load the new FLASH, make sure you close all browser sessions and then start up again and it should work. If that still doesn't fly, reboot your PC.
I had a hung IE session so it wouldn't update.

Posted by legodragonxp at October 13, 2005 10:17 AMOh, god, this was one of the first games I've ever played. I agree, my main problem is keeping my ammo supplies up. And I miss the ability to strafe. Modern fps's spoil us.

(Textures look weird, not the same sound effects. Music is not the same) Bad port / remake!
