I wrote about it for the list of 20 video games I can't stop thinking about (https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2024/04/06/20-video-games-i-cant-stop-thinking-about). I still play it regularly. Sometimes weekly. Killing digital Nazis is always fun and therapeutic.

You can play Wolfenstein 3D FREE in browser here: https://dosgames.com/game/wolfenstein-3d) and you can also download it free and run it on your own machine via DOSBox. Wolf 3D is also on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2270/Wolfenstein_3D) for a few bucks, and on the Microsoft store (the port of the 360 version). Now if they'd only port it to Switch! 😂

Happy birthday, B.J. Blazkowicz. 🎂

Why gamers use WASD keys to move in most FPS (First-Person Shooter) games

I've been struggling (maybe impatient is more accurate as I've just not put the practice in) to take my movement in first-person shooter games beyond the noob level (apart from WASD there are also run [LSHIFT], crouch [LCTRL], jump [SPACE], lean left/right [Q/E], prone [Z]) and whilst looking around for possible alternatives, I noticed this interesting video that explains how WASD came about. And yes, we have inherited an almost standardisation now across most first-person shooter games,

The consensus still seems to be that this is best, so basically I'm just going to have to put my practice time in ;-)
