Nicknamed
"Poet", Paal Olstad has
created Wolf 3D mods
which are extremely
challenging and require
a lot of problem-solving
ability; his level
designs are very
distinctive. Fortunately
for many of us, he has
also released detailed
hint manuals for his
add-ons.
Paal's
early releases were
tough, but once he
started making his own
EXEs with "Wolf Hour",
he turned it up a notch:
now there were 4 keys
and poison pools to deal
with. He has since added
customized EXE files to
his first 3 add-ons,
making "Wolf-Extra" into
a special version and
adding the unused levels
to episodes 2 and 3 of
"Enemy Around the
Corner". Thus made
redundant:
Wolf-Extra
(11/07/99) updated
09/14/00, now
discontinued.
Paal's
biggest release is "The
Tower", winner of the
first Dome Award in
January 2002. It
features 4 keys, pools
of poison, deadly purple
chalices and crosses
that protect you from
them, teleporters,
explodable barrels,
bombs, and a missile
launcher!
All
the latest versions and
hint manuals are
available at the
excellent
Poet's
Wolfenstein
Page,
winner of the Spear of
Destiny Fan Club's
"Spear of Excellence
Award", amongst others.
The site also features
Paal's source code
tutorials and level
design tips, a poll on
his add-ons, and
more.
Looking
forward to Wolf-Extra
III!
Andy
Nonymous.

A
'Tribute To
John
Bucksnort'.
Mostly
excellent
levels quality.
Lots of
graphics,
sounds and code
changes. An
excellent set -
one that John
would have been
proud of - and
serves very
well as a
tribute to the
'mutant
maker'.
