    Wolfenstein 3d turns 20 today, and is being released for free download


    I am shaking and my heart is still pounding because I’m racing to get this article done before anyone else, but at the same time I want to claim my copy of the game that claimed my childhood.

    NOTE: This copy is from the iTunes App Store, so iDevices only. I’m sure you can find a free copy somehow if you are not on one of those platforms.

    Let me see if I can do this story any justice. The story is simple, you are a POW named BJ Blazkowicz and your goal is to fight your way out of Castle Wolfenstein with nothing but a knife and your wits. You start with the knife, and a tiny room. Your world is three dimensional, but only on one level. This was the first FPS game in existence, and it was a blockbuster.

    My copy was a free shareware copy of the entire game on a floppy with a joystick that also came with Jill Of The Jungle, and Commander Keen, which were two other favorites that I need to do articles on.

    Anyway, if you download the game, there is only one cheat code. I am not going to spoil it for you, but there is a hidden easter egg in this article that should give you the cheat code in two different ways. Good luck!
