I think Beyond Castle Wolfenstein is abandonware. If it is, perhaps we could get it up here.
Edit: It is abandonware. I'll try to get it reviewed and up onsite if Kosta agrees. |

Spear of Destiny is actually Wolfenstein 3D, isn't it? As Stroggy pointed out earlier, we have a buy link only for it as it is still being sold. I just read the plot for that one on Moby Games and it fascinates because I've read that this is what actually happened - to one degree or another. There is a book called the Spear of Destiny that claims Hitler came in possession of the spear that pierced the side of Christ while on the cross. The myth surrounding this spear was that whoever owned it would become invincible in battle. The story goes that Hitler came to power while having this spear and then when the allies over-ran Germany, they also liberated the miraculous spear. Not long afterwards Hitler is supposed to have shot himself. Whether this is true, or not, I don't suppose we'll ever know. But it is an extraordinary story and the basis for Wolfenstein 3D.

f__k Hitler! It was a great game. That damn freakazoid with the four arms was killer in that game. Really had my heart racing as I was not expecting him! My version of that got corrupted, so I've been without it since. I really hate that. I kept my 3 1/2 floppies in a case specifically for them, in a non-humid area at the right temps, and away from magnetic influences, and they went bad. Had I known this, I'd have backed them up more than once. I lost several games as to this, but the worst was my original x-wing. As I tend to repeat, I really miss the stuff they cut in the re-releases. Big mistake for lucasarts. I've been contemptuous with them since.

No, that's cool, edlglide. All opinions are welcome There are many myths that have sprung up about the Hitler era, including that he and the SS were involved in the occult and that he was actually possessed. Whether true, or not, it is interesting to consider these possibilities. Truth can be stranger than fiction...and usually is.

Could it be because Jones was usually on a quest to recover religious artifacts? In the first movie I think Nazi Germany and the SS played a big part in it. |
