Wolfenstein 3-D Retro Gaming Revisited Review

Bring ’em on: Honoring the Granddaddy of Legendary FPS titles, Wolfenstein 3D

Before Call of Duty, Halo, Quake, Duke Nukem, and Doom, there was Wolfenstein 3D or Wolf3D for short. In the modern history of time-travel conversations, someone will inevitably say they want to go back in time and kill Hitler. It’s a theme from dorm rooms and coffee shops to Smodcast.
