Kill Nazis With The iPhone: Wolfenstein 3D Classic

By Andrew

The classic first-person-shooter, id Software’s Wolfenstein 3D, is back and bad as hell… on the iPhone! I must say, it’s pretty F’ing awesome. Now, I understand that you might think it weird, at best, to play this game entirely on a touch screen – I did. But after a bit of good, ol’ fashioned Nazi-killing on my 3G, the smooth controls make game-play seamless. Plus, they give you four different options for controls, along with sensitivity adjustments. So no matter how you like to gun down some SS sons-of-bitches, you’ll do it with ease on this app.

Here’s what the press release had to say:

We want to let you know that id Software just is unleashing Wolfenstein 3D Classic ™ for the iPhone and iPod Touch.  The “grandfather of first person shooters” will now feature your choice of all new touch and tilt-based controls personally developed by technical visionary and id Software founder, John Carmack.

John recently said  “Not very long ago, it was an open question if classic first person shooter play styles could be adapted to the touch and tilt controls of the iPhone and still remain fun, so I set out to find the answer with a small research project based on our classic Wolfenstein 3D game.  It quickly became apparent that it could work out very well indeed, and it was a lot of fun to grow the project from a little experiment into a full-fledged product.  To me, the iPhone is the most exciting new platform in ages, and I am very much looking forward to bringing our entire historic series of titles over, as well as brand new work.”
