| In case anyone doubts how revolutionary some of these games were, check out these fan letters from the Wolfenstein source: As a former POW (Vietnam), I hesitated to play WOLF for over a
month after downloading as I feared flashbacks. I didn't want to
remember all that I had been through all those years ago, when, as
POW's, my friend and I decided an escape attempt would be better than
a slow death by torture and starvation. My friend and I made crude maps and hoarded food. The day of the
escape we clubbed the guard with stones, took his gun and fought our
way through two levels of underground tunnels (only a few guards and
had to crawl). I made it, my friend didn't. Dreams...NO! NIGHTMARES...YES!! However, the more I play
WOLF the less frequently I have nightmares. The chilling part is
turning a corner and seeing a guard with his gun drawn. WOLF is a powerful game. Fearful as well. I believe that a
person should face the past. So... when I can play EPISODE 1
comfortably (no nightmares), I plan on ordering the full series. There's also a letter from a Microsoft manager requesting a multiplayer version. https://github.com/id-Software/wolf3d/blob/master/WOLFSRC/GO... |
