You are Captain William J."B.J" Blazkowicz, and have recently been
captured by the Nazis, will trying to undercover a plot by them to 
win the war, which if undertaken, would make the Allies defenseless,
leading to a lot of blood shed and a great defeat.  Any way, you are
prisoner in Castle Wolfenstein, and must escape to stop the Nazis
winning the war.

There are six chapters in all to complete, each with 10 levels  (one
of which is hidden), yes thats a great thumping 60 levels, and to top
it all, there are 4 skill levels to choose from, which are :-

(1) Can I play, Daddy? (for beginners only)
(2) Don't hurt me (recommended for more fun)
(3) Bring 'em on! (only recommended if very good)
(4) I am death incarnate! (only recommended for hard nutters)

The games six chapters are also listed below:-

(Chapter 1) Escape from Wolfenstein
(Chapter 2) Operation : Eisenfaust
(Chapter 3) Die, Fuhrer, Die!
(Chapter 4) A dark secret
(Chapter 5) Trail of the madman
(Chapter 6) Confrontation

When you start the game on the first chapter, you start of with just a
knife and hand pistol, with 8 bullets, and  notice  you  are  standing
over a dead guard you've just  killed, now  you  must  escape  Castle
Wolfenstein.

  The game then has you shoot your way out of the castle, finding  new
and better weapons  along the way (A machine  gun and Chain  gun), you
also can pick up treasure, ammo and keys up along the  way.  The  keys
let you unlock some of the doors on each level, which usually lead  to
the next level.  Besides all this, there is abundance of secret  rooms
and levels for you to find.
  
  The sound is quite good, and adds atmosphere to the game, especially
when the guards shot intruder, or shout something in  German, the  gun
effects are quite good, along with the other  effects.  The  music  on
other hand is alright, but you'll soon be turning it off, as  it  gets
a bit repetitive at times.

  Wolfenstein 3D is similar to Doom, in fact it is produced by the
same company.  This version of the game I reviewed is V1.4, which has
been released as a commercial product, and not the original shareware
version, however a little while  back the game got released as  a
commercial package, relabelled Spear of Destiny, but had an optional  
2 data disks (add-on levels), it was virtually the same as the 
Wolfie3D, with just a few variations in level design.
  
  Any way I give this game 75%, as it looks a little dated next to 
the likes of Doom, but is still very playable, especially  if  your  
a Doom fan of late.

  If you Like Doom, Heretic or Blake Stone you'll like this, and will
look forward to ID's forth coming game Quake, and Apogee's latest 
game Blake Stone 3D.  However stay well clear of Corridor 7, Virtuoso 
& some of the other well known Doom clones, as they are all rubbish.
  

~Editor Adds.....

Wolfenstien 3D was actually the first Doom style game (as everybody
calls them nowadays).  Wolfenstein is made by the same people 
simply because Doom is basically Wolfenstein 3, where Wolfenstein 2
was Spear of Destiny.  For people who weren't around at the time
of the release Wolfenstein then you would have missed all the fuss
on this game, very similar to that of Doom in the past couple of
years......
