.Wolfenstein 3D (nominated by PresN) is a first-person shooter video game develo
ped by id Software and published by Apogee Software and FormGen. Originally rele
ased in 1992, for MS-DOS, it was inspired by the 1981 Muse Software video game C
astle Wolfenstein. In Wolfenstein 3D, the player assumes the role of Allied spy
William "B.J." Blazkowicz during World War II as he escapes from the Nazi German
prison Castle Wolfenstein and carries out a series of crucial missions against
the Nazis. The player traverses through each of the game's levels to find an ele
vator to the next level or kill a final boss, fighting Nazi soldiers, dogs, and
other enemies with knives, pistols, and other guns. It was a critical and commer
cial success, garnering numerous awards and selling over 200,000 copies by the e
nd of 1993. It is widely regarded as having helped popularize the first-person s
hooter genre and establishing the standard of fast-paced action and technical pr
owess for many subsequent games in the genre, as well as showcasing the viabilit
y of the shareware publishing model at the time.
