I like the concept of the game, killing Nazis, but I never was a huge fan of the FPS genre. I didn't like them at all until I played Quake MP, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark MP, and then Unreal Tournament MP. I played the game and finished level 1, floor 2, on the highest difficulty before quitting. Didn't really enjoy it at all. It's a classic, sure, but being the only game out there at the time doesn't mean it's any good.

I like the FPS genre and really shooters in general to be quite honest. I can respect that the game paved alot of the way for the genre as a whole and Wolfenstein 3D was at the time really cool. I do think it shows its age. I can still pick up Doom and have a little fun with it every once and a while but not so much with Wolf.
As far as the more recent outings, I really enjoyed the last one much more than Return personally and I know that I'm probably in the minority there.

Pay dues to the genre? What does that mean?

The game is currently free for iPhone and iPad as well. Not sure how long this deal lasts.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm sure I would have missed that - my guess is it's going to be a today-only thing.

Steam also has it as a daily deal for $1.24, and a bundle for $3.75 that throws in Spear of Destiny and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Think I'll grab that too.

Yeah, it's the platinum version that includes all the levels from Wolf3D and Spear of Destiny. Good free stuff!

Thank you! I don't venture into the App Store much so didn't know this was even available.

The controls take a bit of getting used to but it plays pretty dang slick on the iPhone. What a complete departure from essentially being "led by the nose" of many modern FPS titles.

My very first FPS, in 1992. I can't believe i was only 7 to see/play the beginning of the genre! I remember my dad got it from his work computer, and we had a copy on 3.5" disks. SHIT i feel old, talking about this like an old person when phonographs just came out. I had the pc speakers, so no soundblaster or anything, I still remember all the noises! It was the most fun game i'd ever played, even if i did get some motion sickness sometimes. And in 1999 i finally played it with SB music and sound. But then in 1995, i finally played Doom, and on a computer fast enough to play it..scary shit during ep 1 m9 at 10 years old..

I was actually surprised how well it controls (using an iPad), as I was expecting controls to be utter crap.

I was always liked the concept of killing democratic capitalists and communists but could never find a genre that catered to me.
