There are some graphics/sounds changes though the original game feel remains. The modified exe (which has only menu name changes) works with the Apogee version of Wolf3D only.

17th February 2004: Nuclear Assassination Announced

Jonathan Storey is currently making two Wolf3D expansion packs. One is called "Nuclear Assassination", the other undecided. They are not typical addons - Jonathan aims to put them across as natural expansions to the Wolf3D story (not Spear or The Lost Episodes).

Both will have the magic expansion formula - some new entities, but retaining the original game atmosphere. There will be some new wall textures, sprites, sounds, a new title screen and expertly crafted new levels. There will be no source code changes.

The new wall textures have been gathered from various sources on the internet, including the The Wolf3D Dome (thanks a lot for these). Some sprites and sounds have been taken from Spear and The Lost Episodes as well.

Both expansions will be using Shareware Wolf3D as a base, since 10 levels seems like a good size for a seemingly proper expansion pack. Nuclear Assassination should be finished in a couple of months.

16th February 2004: Deep Freeze Released

Joe M has released 'Deep Freeze'. There are 30 mostly original levels which are fairly extensive. Many graphics have been changed. There are no new sounds, though there are some basic source code changes and a detailed storyline. The original Wolf3D feel remains. There's a minor menu bug where you need to 'right click' on the menu to exit some options instead of using 'left click'. You can get it here.

16th February 2004: The Anticipation Released
