Wolfenstein 3D revolutionized the PC gaming industry by being the first 3D first-person shooter game that brought new ideas and made the first-person shooting arena what it is today. It was also one of the first video game titles to utilize ray casting.
It's World War II, and you take on the role of B.J. Blazkowicz, who was captured by Hitler, tortured, and imprisoned beneath the dungeon of Castle Wolfenstein. Now, you must do anything and everything to escape from the Wolfenstein castle or die trying. Once you escape, the adventure continues (which includes killing Hitler)!
