Wolfenstein 3D is 17 years old today!
(It’s also Adrian Carmack’s birthday, the brilliant artist on that game.)
Joe Siegler over at 3D Realms has a nice post about Wolf3D.
It’s also Cinco de Mayo!
Happy Birthday, Wolfenstein 3D!

In one of the help screens in the shareware version of version 1.4 of Wolfenstein 3D Adrian Carmack said: “Okay, now for the CGA version . . . NOT!”
To celebrate these events I’ve created a prototype of what Wolfenstein 3D could look like on a CGA card. I’ve put the demo on my website:

My first thought was that you simply edited all the textures and such to use those sickly old shades of cyan and magenta (there’s a hack of Keen 1 out there that does much the same thing), but I guess if you used Mr. Silverman’s code, then it’s genuine CGA?
Nice site, by the way; I haven’t visited it in a while and didn’t know you were still adding so much niftiness.

Tom, just wanted to thank you for your creative work in Wolf3d. I recently got back into Wolf3d last year and made my first mod. Won an award for it from the Wolf community! My earliest memories of great gaming come from playing Wolf3d and toying with the original mapeditor back in the day! All the user created work and programs today just blow me away!. Hard to believe Wolf3d is this old now! Anyhoo, if you want to check out my Wolf3d mod you can find the link on my website: jayngoware.com
Thanks again Tom!!

Jorpho: I’ve seen that Keen mod. But my demo is genuine CGA, as far as I know :). I’ve put the source code on my website, so you can check it out yourself.

hi Tom
I know I’m replying to a post from a year ago, but anyway… I’ve just read it’s id anniversary, so a lot of nostalgia flooded me and I dig up my old computer and played Wolf 3D. Then I google around to check on you, see how you are doing.
I couldnt find anything about Adrian, what is he doing now?
Anyway, keep doing great games!
