You stand over the guard's body, grabbing frantically for his gun. + You're not sure if the other guards heard his muffled scream. + Deep in the belly of a Nazi dungeon, you've only a knife, a gun, and your wits to aid your escape. +
+
+
+ +
Just a few weeks ago you were on a reconnaissance mission of extreme importance. + You were to infiltrate the Nazi fortress and find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust. + Captured in your attempt, you were taken to their prison, and awaited your execution. + Only you know where the plans are kept, and the Allies will face a great defeat if you don't escape! + You must face the horrors of the prison keep known as Wolfenstein. +
+
+
+ +
Captain William J. "B.J." Blazkowicz, you've got a gun and eight floors of hell to get through. Good luck!
+
+
Hey, if you make it, you'll have something to tell your grandkids about . . . .
+
+
If you don't, at least you'll go out in a blaze of glory!
+
+
+ +
CONTROLS
+
In Wolfenstein 3-D, you can use the keyboard, mouse, joystick, or Gravis PC Gamepad.
+
+
To move around the menus, use the arrow keys to move from item to item, then press
+ Enter +
to select that item.
+ Esc +
always backs out. + You can press the first letter of a menu item to go to that item. +
+
+
Or use the mouse, joystick, or Gamepad-- they work, too!
+
+
+ +
Once you are in the game, use the arrow keys to move. Hold down
+ Shift +
to run fast.
+
+ Press + Ctrl +
to fire your weapon.
+
+ Use + Alt +
with the left and right arrows to slide side to side instead of turning left or right. + This is called "Strafe Mode". +
+
+ Press + Space +
to Open Doors and activate elevators to go to the next floor of the keep.
+
+
+ +
When using the mouse or joystick, use button 1 to shoot, button 2 to strafe.
+
+
With a three-button mouse, use the third button to open doors.
+
+
Gravis PC Gamepads have a fourth button, useful as a run button.
+
+
+
Once you have more than one weapon, the keys 1-4 choose the weapons:
+
+
+ +
+
+
Holding down the fire button is fun, but short bursts save bullets.
+
+
+
Some walls in the prison can be pushed back to reveal hidden rooms. + Hold down Space to push the wall in front of you. + Just think of Space as the Use key. + It will use doors, use elevators, and so on. +
+
+ +
There are locked doors in the castle that require either a gold or silver key. + It will be somewhere on the floor you're on. +
+
+ +
If you find your health dropping, pick up some food or first aid. + You'll find you're damaged more when shot at close range. +
+
+
+ +
Pick up the ammo left behind when you toast someone. + For instance, perforate an SS--free machine gun! +
+
+
You get a free guy every 40,000 points, so collect those treasures! + (You can have a maximum of nine lives.) +
+
+
When you get killed, you lose everything but your gun and start at the beginning of the floor you were on.
+
+
+ ABOUT + Id + SOFTWARE +
+
Yes, that's Id, as in the id, ego, and superego in the psyche. + We think shareware is a fine alternative to the high prices of commercial vendors. + For under twelve dollars a game, you can get the hottest, fastest texture-mapped game available. + How can you beat that? +
+
+
We'll answer that question in a
+
+
few months. . . .
