About
As of 2026, it's 34 years old.
Wolfenstein 3D dropped you into a maze of Nazi-infested corridors in 1992 and let you shoot your way out in first person, more or less inventing the entire first-person-shooter genre in the process. Before this, you didn't really get to BE the gun.
Crude, fast, and gleefully violent, it made the world realize that running through hallways blasting enemies from your own point of view was extremely, dangerously fun.
Pioneering and pixelated, Wolfenstein 3D is the granddaddy of the shooter — the game that taught millions of PCs to make their fans spin and their owners flinch.
