It's quite a difficult set to play at times with lots of action. Available here. 21st September 2004: Call To Code Editors Here's an email from Kev Reid: " -Call to Code editors. I have an idea that I have been mulling over for some time now, not knowing if it would work or if it was even possible. As such I have made no attempt at the following: Here is a challenge to coders who have some experience with the music aspect of Wolf. Would it be possible to, instead of, loop a sample out of VSWAP in a continuous circuit in the background instead of music? I believe that if this is possible it will be far better than the Ambient sound tutorials as music does not stop other sounds from playing where ambient sounds do. I would be very interested to know - if it is possible drop me a line: sporb2000@yahoo.co.nz." 21st September 2004: Wolfenstein 3D In Icelandic Atli has released 'Wolfenstein 3D In Icelandic'. All the menus' and the status bar have been converted into the Icelandic language. It's meant to be played with the full original game and has no new maps, graphics or sounds. Available here.

Also available is a version for 'Doom' at www.ticalc.org/doom. The 'Doom' screenshots actually look more like 'Wolf3D!!'.
