My dad had Wolfenstein 3D and the official hint book that had the maps in them, with commentary from Id Software employees themselves. Tom Hall said that Episode 6 Map 1 was basically designed to stop John Romero from being so good at the game. Supposedly Romero beat the entire first episode in around 5 minutes and at the time was the world record. I think it was beaten, but it's nice to know that whole levels were designed to knock your own co-workers down a peg.
You can clearly tell some ID maps were made out of spite to someone. Nightmare was made because Romaro was annoyed at some Usenet posts calling doom's Ultra violence too easy.
wow you're lucky man, I didn't even understand English back in the days I was playing these maze levels... I even had no idea it has some story behind. So sad my father quited this year and I've found this video only now!
I played this game with my dad when I was in kindergaden. He kind of ruled in it but he always ran out of ammo. Then he was "the dangerous man with the knife". He was such a badass man. My hero. Tried to introduce him to "Return to Caste Wolfenstein" from 2001. He wasn't such a badass anymore. I guess that was the first time I realized my dad was not invincible, and that age is a thing.
@@spyrelle3970 me and my mom used to play medievil when i was like 6. she loved it, she even bought the strategy guide so she could 100% it. i remember her beating it without me and i was so dissapointed at the time lol, now i just laugh.
Once in a while I replay an episode or two for this very reason. Playing them all would drive me crazy, but otherwise this is still one legendary fun and well-done game.
@@boden_staendig I got motion sickness playing this game when I was a kid. Even now I still do, especially if I play the levels that is infested with the putrid purple wall textures.
Wolf3D is the game that got me into gaming. Playing this and the old GTA games in my friend's basement on a Czech foreign exchange student's computer while the student in question watched porno tapes he stole from my friend's stepdad is very nearly the defining point of my childhood. You're doing good work here Civvie.
I know this is late, but I was introduced to this (and FPS games as a whole) by a WWII veteran. Dude had a really advanced flightsim rig, and I was totally unable to wrap my head around the setup, so he just loaded up Wolf3d and I played it until I had to go home.
"He assisted an SS dentist / mechanic in attempting to jump start your tonsils earlier that morning." Oh I get it, they electrified the inside of your mouth.
@@BloodfelX all over the shit talking Ion Storm was throwing during Daikatanas development. Romero and Carmack have been engaged in a Crucible of Deitys for like 3 decades now. Something like that lol.
"Adding magic and fantastical elements in a Wolfenstein game would be silly," said Civvie, just after going through an entire episode of zombie mutants with guns mounted in their chests
You know, after watching this video and revisiting Wolf 3D with fresh eyes, learning that Rise of the Triad got developed out of Wolf 3D's engine feels more astounding.

@@ohmygoditisspider7953 It’s still no excuse for him refusing to make the video proper.

@@expendableround6186 so... You're saying that they should make a video that they will not enjoy making on a piece of content that they don't enjoy because... Why? Because you're entitled to this amazing content that they're making for free?? That's just ridiculous.
I once took a “WWII in Film and Lit” course and the professor’s name was “Robert J. Blaskiewicz” - signed right up. Cool dude, went by Bob so he was literally B. J. Blaskiewicz. There’s also a WWII German general named Blaskowitz which is kinda awkward. Not sure if the latter was the inspiration for the name, and fairly certain the former wasn’t. Always curious how they came up with BJ Blaskiewicz.
If you think critically you can probably reason with the fact that we know 1 side of the story. When I played this game as a kid I thought it was so fun to kill all these "bad guys." After reading a couple of notorious books by the other side I really thought about what side's story makes more sense. Let's just say I can't play this series of games anymore. It just feels like propaganda. There's a lot more to the story than "mustache man go crazy and kill innocent people because he's evil."
I actually find that a really cool, if morbid detail. Being so low on health, BJ is desperate and has to resort to cannibalism in order to stay alive Of course realistically that wouldn't magically heal is wounds, but the whole survival aspect of it is still cool
It seems like not too many people knew about this, as Civvie is the first UA-camr I've seen mention that fact when talking about this game. I discovered it entirely by accident a long time ago while playing.
I remember playing this in the early nineties when I was five with the sound cranked up. The soldier's shouts of alert after long silences used to scare the shit out of me.
I always knew I would wake up one day and see "Civvie 11 uploaded: Pro Wolfenstein 3D" Super happy that that day was today. Not that it REALLY matters, because ANY video you make is always 100% entertaining. Except for that Alien: Colonial Marines, that video was like a seven, seven and a half.
Love this game. There's just something about walking through the castle with that ominous music, paranoid that some fuck is going to jumpscare you and blow your head off in a nanosecond.They may have removed all the overt stealth elements., but there's still a strand of that DNA left in there.
I played the OG wolfenstein. And man, there is a lot of potential for a 3d rendition. I believe in an alternate universe where Looking glass made a wolfenstein that was an immersive sim where the game is all about escaping the castle, kinda like System shock but in an underground nazi prison stealing supplies and disguising as officers. The closest thing to the OG wolfenstein is Hitman.
Its civvie's brand of lowest effort """comedy""". I'm not German but damn even I knew how to pronounce such simple words. I always cringe at the whole "entitled youtuber fails to pronouns foreign words" trope.
Damn Civvie, your content is so good, you have developed your style in to a well refined art form. You and Katie are nailing this shit, the editing and pacing are almost perfect, and your scripts flow nicely and are generally interesting. This was great stuff dude. Thanks and well done.
@@ESFAndy011 that’s pretty fair honestly. It’s like civvie said. Fast food that you shouldn’t have too much of. It’s repetitious but sometimes that’s alright.
Simple as it was, this game already had some nuance to learn in the use of its guns. I felt satisfied whenever I caught the firing rhythm correctly and scored a kill without wasting a single shot - something a lot of later shooters could not boast about.
Has anyone noticed how much Civvie's voice has changed in this episode? Like, he used to sound all deep with kind of a lisp, but it seems like post-cancer mouse, his voice is slowly raising in pitch and losing its lisp. They're definitely doing things to him in his sleep.
Civvie pronouncing General Fettgesicht is funny, but what funnier is is that when he said Fatface, he's not actually wrong. Fettgesicht is German for Fatface. XD
When you said, "Fuck it, what am i trying to prove? I couldn't beat it on death incarnate on the game boy advance" It straight up sounded like you were gonna go into a rap.
8:15 Mad Max made canned dog food look like the most delicious thing on the planet. The way he dug into it was just so enthusiastically. I'm not the only one who thought this, right?
Tbh canned dog food reminds me a lot of dintymore beef stew in a can which is pretty good for canned food. Never tried eating dog food, but it definitely smells better than cat food. Although I did eat a dog biscuit once. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it definitely could have used some salt.
@@Valkod23 I've recently replayed through the Real RTCW mod and I can safely say that I still really *_F--KING HATE MUTANTS !_* Other than that it's still great.
Can I just say that whenever you put clips from a movie, like you did with Pennywise having a grand ol' time around 11:24, it cheers me up? I could have a shitty day but it's content like yours that brightens my day.
I remember watching my dad play this game when I was a kid. Occasionally he'd let me play, making the name of the easiest difficulty setting simply a description.
I used to use the same guard-luring tactics in a lot of other games when I was younger. Now that I'm older I'm laughing at how they don't just grenade you and being grateful they didn't.
Y'know, playing this game was strange for me as a kid. I was learning German at the time and I got oddly obsessed with it. Wolf3D is the first game that really got me into modding. I made an entire new game for myself about killing monsters as a sorcerer before I found out that Catacombs 3D was a thing that existed.
One of my most Fondest Memories growing up in my childhood was when I was 6 years old getting stuck in a push wall maze to try to find my way out. Wall humping audio still rings in my head.
I'm mad that I never realized the "Engine sees the door as open as soon as the animation starts" thing. So many deaths that I never understood, lol, so much rage.
You know.... Coming back to this I did always find it odd that we never got a movie tie-in to Die Hard on the Wolfenstein engine. It would have been perfect to recreate Nakatomi Plaza with the 30 floors to the building, shooting terrorists with similar weapons. I don't know. It just always seemed liek the apt fit.
One strategy which is really useful is to intentionally alert enemies. Like opening a door and make some noise and immediately retreat and clean them up as they come.
I think my favorite joke about BJ is that he is depicted as the Nazi's perfect man. He's tall, blonde, has blue eyes, and is a really hard to kill soldier. His entire design is a giant fuck you to the Nazis.
Always wondered where the name came from, though. It’s a Polish name, but there was actually a German major-general with the Prussian equivalent name Blaskowitz. The only Generalloberst not made a field marshal after the fall of Poland and France due to protests he made about the treatment of Poles and Jews in the German occupation zone. An interesting historical footnote in his own right, I’ve always wondered if it was a coincidence that ID chose Blaskiewicz or if it was a reference to Blaskowitz.
He's also Jewish on his mother's side, which further pushes that sentiment, and before anyone claims this is something MachineGames came up with, this was confirmed by Tom Hall before the MachineGames developed entries.
@@fuzzydunlop7928 Tom Hall explained on twitter way back in 2014 that he intended B. J. to be half Jewish on his mother's side, which would eventually be reincorporated in the New Colossus by MachineGames. When you consider that he's also retconned into being Commander Keen (Billy Blaze)'s grandfather, you can imagine they chose an eastern European name that could match Blaze and settled on Blazkowicz.
I think you're the first UA-camr I've seen talking about this game that mentioned the fact that you're able to drink blood off the floor at low health. It seems like that's not a very well known fact. I know I found out by pure accident a long time ago when I heard a random slurping sound and suddenly had more health.
I never knew that myself, probably because I'm almost never between 1 and 9 percent health. Most enemy shots take so much health that you easily go from 20% to dead in a single shot.
15:12 Blake Stone has 66 levels, actually. In every episode, one secret level requires a secret red key card, and another is accessed via hidden teleporter.
Yeah, it's supposed to imply that there was some unseen infighting between the mutants and N@zi soldiers from Schabbs' previous experiments. But Civvie never mentioned that anywhere in this video.
Fun fact: In the Atari version Dr. Schabbs yells "Scheißekopf !" (Shit head). But I think my favorite voiceline is still *"EINE KLINE AMERIKANER !"* -Otto von Giftmacher.
The thing about how Wolfenstein is great for portable gaming is so true, I first experienced the game through DOSBox on the tablet I had as a kid. It feels like it was designed almost like an early age iPhone mobile game, back before the market was polluted with ads and scummy pay to win shit. Super simple mechanics and tons of levels to slowly chip away at over years of killing time on the school bus or in waiting rooms. Still love it to this day.
Legendary game. I still play it from time to time. Nothing beats its weird pacing and ridiculous mazes. I also love the sounds and music. And this game was so innovative. What it lacked in 3D capabilities it made up for in nifty features like the DeathCam.
Oh man I can't wait for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, that game was my childhood. And yeah the crypt levels traumatized me, but god dam did it not give me a hard on for fg42's and the venom gun.
That episode 4 boss level has a secret pushwall next to the guard with his back turned next to the two keys. If you use that secret you get the two keys without ever waking up that entire room full of guards. The only way I know this is because of the guide book my dad ordered back in the day says so. We still have it too! Helped me a ton when I replayed this when it released on the 360 way back.
Damn I've played this game so many times and yet I didn't know that blood and viscera on the floor regenerates health if your health is below 10. Awesome find indeed 👌
In regards to getting bored, definitely true in today’s age of gaming, but back then it was awesome to explore all the levels and look for the secrets.This is back in my early childhood when the internet wasn’t as big of a thing.
You're not crazy.

Damn Civvie, your content is so good, you have developed your style in to a well refined art form. You and Katie are nailing this shit, the editing and pacing are almost perfect, and your scripts flow nicely and are generally interesting. This was great stuff dude. Thanks and well done.
this is so fucked up, i dont rememeber 90% of this and i used to complete it in a single sitting as a child because i didnt know you could save it....
Holy shit. That's simultaneously really sad and really badass.
That's probably because of the repetitive use of textures throughout the game. Not that I knock it, it was ahead of its own time still.
@@ESFAndy011 that’s pretty fair honestly. It’s like civvie said. Fast food that you shouldn’t have too much of.
It’s repetitious but sometimes that’s alright.
1:47 Civvie's continuing deification and edritch'ing of John Carmack never ceases to amuse me.
You gotta please the gods.
Simple as it was, this game already had some nuance to learn in the use of its guns. I felt satisfied whenever I caught the firing rhythm correctly and scored a kill without wasting a single shot - something a lot of later shooters could not boast about.

Has anyone noticed how much Civvie's voice has changed in this episode? Like, he used to sound all deep with kind of a lisp, but it seems like post-cancer mouse, his voice is slowly raising in pitch and losing its lisp. They're definitely doing things to him in his sleep.
I initially thought he sounded like officer Barbrady from South Park
Ya he sounded way more southern in earlier vids now he just sounds more bro
He's said before that he basically started out doing a Mr Plinkett impression, which got toned down until he was just using his real voice
@@Solidus_Edge o cool thanks
-We- They have been choking him a little.
Civvie pronouncing General Fettgesicht is funny, but what funnier is is that when he said Fatface, he's not actually wrong. Fettgesicht is German for Fatface. XD
That’s why he said it
The echo was actually him telling people where the key to his cell was
When you said, "Fuck it, what am i trying to prove? I couldn't beat it on death incarnate on the game boy advance" It straight up sounded like you were gonna go into a rap.
Maybe he should have tried "Can I play, daddy?" difficulty instead.
If Doom(1993) was a major step forward for the gaming industry, Wolfenstein 3D was the gaming industry getting its boots on before leaving the house.
8:15 Mad Max made canned dog food look like the most delicious thing on the planet. The way he dug into it was just so enthusiastically. I'm not the only one who thought this, right?
Tbh canned dog food reminds me a lot of dintymore beef stew in a can which is pretty good for canned food. Never tried eating dog food, but it definitely smells better than cat food. Although I did eat a dog biscuit once. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it definitely could have used some salt.
I mean, if you think about it, dogfood is basically a delicacy compared to eating corpse maggots.
You know what the song being played is?
Goddamn, pro Return to Castle Wolfenstien would be sweet.

There's even a mod for RtCW that seeks to improve some issues present in the original game.
@@Valkod23 I've recently replayed through the Real RTCW mod and I can safely say that I still really *_F--KING HATE MUTANTS !_* Other than that it's still great.

Can I just say that whenever you put clips from a movie, like you did with Pennywise having a grand ol' time around 11:24, it cheers me up? I could have a shitty day but it's content like yours that brightens my day.
I remember watching my dad play this game when I was a kid. Occasionally he'd let me play, making the name of the easiest difficulty setting simply a description.
Ah the old “I think the goal of this level is…” feeling. Pretty much sums up my entire experience of Kens Labyrinth.
I used to use the same guard-luring tactics in a lot of other games when I was younger. Now that I'm older I'm laughing at how they don't just grenade you and being grateful they didn't.
I can't believe I just now got the joke in Nocturnal Missions.
In my defense I can only say that I never really thought about it.
What joke?
@@generic_username9719 emissions.
I played this game with my mom when I was a little child. I vividly remember sitting by her side of her watch her play. Fun times.
Oh god, I was literally quoting "KILLIN' NATZEES" two seconds before it showed up. Bless you, Civvie.
Y'know, playing this game was strange for me as a kid. I was learning German at the time and I got oddly obsessed with it. Wolf3D is the first game that really got me into modding. I made an entire new game for myself about killing monsters as a sorcerer before I found out that Catacombs 3D was a thing that existed.
Is it just me or is the mutant fall down animation way smoother than all the other guard's fall down animations
"You don't get a better game ending than killing Hi-" *advert break*
I hope they had to pay extra for that one.
One of my most Fondest Memories growing up in my childhood was when I was 6 years old getting stuck in a push wall maze to try to find my way out. Wall humping audio still rings in my head.
I'm mad that I never realized the "Engine sees the door as open as soon as the animation starts" thing. So many deaths that I never understood, lol, so much rage.
I really appreciate the captions, you're helping us out so much
😉
"Aw this poor bastard brought a rocket launcher to a hitscan fight."
😁 dammit Civvie I like you.
You know.... Coming back to this I did always find it odd that we never got a movie tie-in to Die Hard on the Wolfenstein engine. It would have been perfect to recreate Nakatomi Plaza with the 30 floors to the building, shooting terrorists with similar weapons. I don't know. It just always seemed liek the apt fit.
IG that's what Going Down is for
After having a wretched week Civvie comes out of nowhere to lift my spirit.
Great video. It was an awesome surprise to see some Wolfenstein 3D love. Hope to see more Wolf 3D engine games in the future!
One strategy which is really useful is to intentionally alert enemies. Like opening a door and make some noise and immediately retreat and clean them up as they come.
That's worth doing a lot, but sometimes they stay put and wait for you anyway.
I think my favorite joke about BJ is that he is depicted as the Nazi's perfect man.
He's tall, blonde, has blue eyes, and is a really hard to kill soldier. His entire design is a giant fuck you to the Nazis.
Always thought he had ginger hair or black hair tho.
Always wondered where the name came from, though. It’s a Polish name, but there was actually a German major-general with the Prussian equivalent name Blaskowitz. The only Generalloberst not made a field marshal after the fall of Poland and France due to protests he made about the treatment of Poles and Jews in the German occupation zone. An interesting historical footnote in his own right, I’ve always wondered if it was a coincidence that ID chose Blaskiewicz or if it was a reference to Blaskowitz.
Same trick with Captain America.
He's also Jewish on his mother's side, which further pushes that sentiment, and before anyone claims this is something MachineGames came up with, this was confirmed by Tom Hall before the MachineGames developed entries.
@@fuzzydunlop7928 Tom Hall explained on twitter way back in 2014 that he intended B. J. to be half Jewish on his mother's side, which would eventually be reincorporated in the New Colossus by MachineGames. When you consider that he's also retconned into being Commander Keen (Billy Blaze)'s grandfather, you can imagine they chose an eastern European name that could match Blaze and settled on Blazkowicz.
I think you're the first UA-camr I've seen talking about this game that mentioned the fact that you're able to drink blood off the floor at low health. It seems like that's not a very well known fact. I know I found out by pure accident a long time ago when I heard a random slurping sound and suddenly had more health.
I never even knew it, and I've played this game for over 20 years.
But then you'd get Nazi AIDS.
@@_V.Va_ Hm, kill more nazis but get their AIDS or take the chance
decisions decisions
I never knew that myself, probably because I'm almost never between 1 and 9 percent health. Most enemy shots take so much health that you easily go from 20% to dead in a single shot.
@@PanicButtonTurbo Yeah, I think it's pretty uncommon to notice because it takes some pretty specific circumstances to happen.
Is it me or is Civvie getting more cheerful with time?

@@ZuluRomeo Ooops! Thanks Zulu! 👍👍👍
Fun fact: the purple levels are purple because they are drenched in mutant blood, which is purple
Yeah, it's supposed to imply that there was some unseen infighting between the mutants and N@zi soldiers from Schabbs' previous experiments.
But Civvie never mentioned that anywhere in this video.
I really like playing The Old Blood and jump-crouching around corners popping pistol rounds into these guys. Makes me feel like James Bond.
*"EUGH... MEIN GOTT IN HIMMEL!"* - Dr. Schabbs
*”MUTTI!”*
Fun fact: In the Atari version Dr. Schabbs yells "Scheißekopf !" (Shit head). But I think my favorite voiceline is still *"EINE KLINE AMERIKANER !"* -Otto von Giftmacher.
@@Muster_Muckee_II Scheißekopf is killing me xD this word doesn't even exist in german on top of that it would be gramatically incorrect
The thing about how Wolfenstein is great for portable gaming is so true, I first experienced the game through DOSBox on the tablet I had as a kid. It feels like it was designed almost like an early age iPhone mobile game, back before the market was polluted with ads and scummy pay to win shit. Super simple mechanics and tons of levels to slowly chip away at over years of killing time on the school bus or in waiting rooms. Still love it to this day.

This is my first game I ever played at like 6 with my dad and later alone. I can still hear the "Spion!" And "Schutzstaffel!" in my head sometimes...
Gotta love when someone makes a playthrough of a 29 year old game immensely entertaining!
Legendary game. I still play it from time to time. Nothing beats its weird pacing and ridiculous mazes. I also love the sounds and music. And this game was so innovative. What it lacked in 3D capabilities it made up for in nifty features like the DeathCam.
I find that this is one your most rewatchable videos. I always come back to it.
Oh man I can't wait for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, that game was my childhood.
And yeah the crypt levels traumatized me, but god dam did it not give me a hard on for fg42's and the venom gun.
Relaxing activities on Friday night: open a bear, kickback, watch Civvie punish himself by playing an old FPS on max difficulty. Cheers, m8!

That episode 4 boss level has a secret pushwall next to the guard with his back turned next to the two keys. If you use that secret you get the two keys without ever waking up that entire room full of guards.
The only way I know this is because of the guide book my dad ordered back in the day says so. We still have it too! Helped me a ton when I replayed this when it released on the 360 way back.
I played this game to completion so many times when I was 14. I never knew about the whole under 10% health thing. Crazy.
Damn I've played this game so many times and yet I didn't know that blood and viscera on the floor regenerates health if your health is below 10. Awesome find indeed 👌
My earliest memory is watching my dad play Wolf 3D on our IBM dos computer. Love this game.
