Apparently Wolfenstein 3D has just turned 20, and to celebrate this event, Bethesda has released a free browser-based version of the original game to remind everybody what games were like before mouse-looking was invented. Spoiler: Not as awesome as you might remember.
But seriously, Wolfenstein 3D came out 20 years ago? Hold me, Quinton, I feel old.
In case that doesn’t also make you feel old, here’s a bunch of other games that came out in 1992:
- Mortal Kombat
- Super Mario Kart
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
- Alone in the Dark
- Quest for Glory III: Wages of War
- Ultima VII: The Black Gate
- Ecco the Dolphin
For a limited time, the Wolfenstein 3D Classic Platinum edition of the game for iOS is also supposed to be free, although right now it’s still tagged at $1.99 on iTunes so I don’t know what’s going on over there. Perhaps it’s some sort of Nazi plot.
