Game
Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter based off the Apple II game Escape from Castle Wolfenstein. You play B. J. Blazkowicz, a Nazi P.O.W. who must escape from the dreaded Castle Wolfenstein by blasting your way through several levels of Nazis.
The Macintosh port of Wolfenstein 3D has several improvements from the original DOS version. The graphics are much better, especially in the huge bosses, the game features a useful automap, there is a rocket launcher, and resolutions greater than 320x200 are supported. The trade off is that all of the levels are smaller and there are fewer of them. Also, since the enemies are always drawn facing you they don't walk around the rooms like before and you can no longer sneak up on them.
Music
The music from the Macintosh port is amazing. It features heavy electric guitars, drums, and bass and is presented in much higher fidelity than the DOS version. However, there are considerably fewer tracks, and each one is fast paced. None of the eerie ambiance or military marches are carried over which is a shame.
Ripping
The music from the Macintosh port of Wolfenstein 3D has yet to be ripped. If you have ripped the music please contribute it. This recording was made directly from the game.
