Train2Game students will no doubt know about the legacy Wolfenstein 3D,  the id Software title that arguably helped kick-start the popularity of PC first person shooters in the early 1990s.

Of course, the FPS is now one of the most popular genre’s in gaming, but Train2Game students can take a look at Wolfenstein 3D, perhaps for the first time, thanks to Id Software and Bethesda releasing a free-to-play browser version of the game to celebrate its 20^th anniversary.

Visit http://wolfenstein.bethsoft.com/ to play the classic FPS using your browser.

You can also get a fascinating insight into development of Wolfenstein 3D in a director’s commentary from lead programmer John Carmack as he discusses the difficulty of making a game in 3D in the early 90s. Watch it below, here on The Train2Game Blog.

There’s more from id Software here on The Train2Game Blog, including our interview with Creative Director Tim Willits.

Do you have fond memories of Wolfenstein 3D? Or have you not experienced it before? Either way, will you be giving the browser version a go?
