    4/5 reviews give the game 5 stars. The other reviewer gave it 3 stars because you can't change guns. Anyway, my point was that your comment is rather juvenile. I would be able to take it seriously if you could rephrase it without unnecessary expletives.

    They charged $35 back then for this game! I just loaded the DOS demo on my macbook using DOSBox.

    Ah, DOSBox. I still have the Id library up to Quake (part 1) running in DOSBox.

    You know what this game needs..? A level editor. :D I used to have one back in the day. Sharing home brew levels would solidify this game's position among my top few.

    remember when you actually had to call or write to order something? Or hope that your local Electronics Boutique or Babbages had it?

    Knowing Carmack's enormous game-making skill, prescience, and just plain ol' brainliness, he's already on it and the update will be out shortly.

    Or so I hope. Carmack, take a HINT! :p
     
  14. I tell you, you haven't lived until you've seen an explicit image in 7-bit text captioned with giant Figlet fonts.

    Kids today and their millions of colours and moving pictures.

    Back to the topic at hand, although slightly inappropriate for this specific forum, ZodTTD seems to have compiled Wolf3D for jailbroken devices and put it up on Cydia. Since I doubt John will be dropping by to hand out promo codes and I'm stuck credit card-less in Canada (the only way to buy apps on the Canadian App Store) looks like I'll have to use his version to do a review. I don't know if his version differs any, but I'll take what I can get. :)

    Really smooth though -- not that it's pushing many polygons anyway, but it's still cool to play it once again in all its glory. :)

    Interesting: I was aware he had ported Quake but I didn't know about this. Can you post screens or video so we might compare?
     
  16. Sure. I just took some screenies in preparation for the review. Here's everything from the splash screen to the first in-game shot, plus a map for comparison.

    The only reason I think there may be a difference is because the menus are a bit ... chunky and plain. Not id's style.

    it's the same. The thing that makes me mad is he is saying he is following the gol which he is not as he copied the complete game but oh well

    this game is fun! i love the nostalgia feel. :) definitely worth the $5 if you were a fan of the original.
     
  20. I kinda wondered about that, because all of the GLPed remakes of Doom on the PC required you to supply your own WADs, usually pointing to the shareware version, 'cos the code was GPLed but the levels were not, at least as far as I understand it. Maybe it's different with Wolf3D?
