- Just to clear the air a little, since I was the original poster of this topic:
- Long before Wolfenstein 3D, Muse Software and ID created Castle Wolfenstein
- and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein for the Atari 8-bit and the Commodore 8-bit. In
- ther first one you were a prisioner in a Nazi "concentration camp" and you need
- ed to find the war plans and get out alive so the Germans would end up losing t
- he war. In the second one (Beyond.....) you needed to find a bomb, and kill y
- our friend and mine.....Adolf Hitler, himself! These two games are the reason
- that Wolfenstein 3D became the success it was! I don't blame those of you who
- have never heard of it before, but these were two AWESOME games that I miss pla
- ying. Anyway, I hope this clears up any confusion. By the way, thank you to
- those who have replied to me. I look forward to playing these games in the nea
- r future. Take care, all!
- Keeping the Dinosaurs alive,
