This is great. A reddit user found a box of 3.5-inch floppy disks at a thrift store and brought it home mainly due to the nice letter from 1993 found inside the box -- a glimpse back at a simpler time.

"... I also sent along a neat little shareware game called Wolfenstein 3D. It's purely arcade, but can get the adrenaline going. To load that one, just type INSTALL (it's in a compressed format), then WOLF3D to run."

32 years ago today on May 5 1992, one of the greatest games of all time (and forever my favorite first person shooter), Wolfenstein 3D, was released. I wrote about it for the list of 20 video games I can't stop thinking about (spacetimetech.wordpress.com/20). I still play it regularly. Sometimes weekly. Killing digital Nazis is always fun and therapeutic.

You can play Wolfenstein 3D FREE in browser here: dosgames.com/game/wolfenstein-) and you can also download it free and run it on your own machine via DOSBox. Wolf 3D is also on Steam (store.steampowered.com/app/227) for a few bucks, and on the Microstore store (the port of the 360 version). Now if they'd only port it to Switch! 😂

Happy birthday, B.J. Blazkowicz. 🎂

It's 2024, and I still play a ton of Wolfenstein 3D every year. It's just a perfect game. My memory's not great though, and it's weird I STILL don't have much memorized even after playing these maps SO MANY times.

Right now I have the Xbox 360 version paused on my Series X in the living room and it's been sitting like that for a day or two, so Wolf 3D music is just quietly playing in the background. I realized I'm cool with this. My brain's always in Castle Wolfenstein killing digital Nazis anyway, why not have it as background music for daily life. 🤣😂🤣

Got a funny screenshot the other day. Not sure I've ever spotted when I've been exactly at 1% life but it happened and I caught it!
