īack to the games, I was always proud of having managed to finish both of them without resorting to the old M+I+L cheat, even though it was only on Normal difficulty. Needless to say it took so long to do even one map that I never got past 6 or 7 maps in total but the seeds had been planted. Even back then I was drawing the maps while playing on grid paper to make sure that every square in-game was drawn exactly as it was. I don't know if it's what got me interesting in mapping games, but it certainly didn't hurt because I tried mapping them myself first using ASCII characters in WordPerfect 5.1 in MS DOS and then by drawing little squares in Paintbrush in Windows 3.1. With the computer, we also got a few boxes full of old 5.25 inch floppy disks full of games downloaded on old BBSes (with a few boot sector viruses too!) and one featured crude maps for Wolfenstein 3-D made in AutoCAD 8 (I think) by my uncle. He'd show off while playing when we visited him a few years before his death so they were the games me and my sister wanted to try the most afterward (sadly, my sister lost her interest in videogames after beginning high school ).
Wolfenstein 3-D and Spear of Destiny were some of the very first computer games I played when I inherited my PC from an uncle who died of brain cancer. This sure brings back nice memories of my first days of PC gaming. So to recognize the effort put into spearheading new mapping techniques, DarkWolf's Spear Of Destiny (PC) maps will be known as 's Maps Of The Month for April 2011. He's shown that a third dimension doesn't stop a dedicated game cartographer! This game was mapped by DarkWolf, who also contributed maps of the same style as those of the original Wolfenstein 3-D (which was honoured in July 2008) and the Blake Stone games. With DarkWolf's maps, expertly derived from the game data itself, losing your way is one thing you won't have to worry about. In these twenty floors, he'll have to contend with the usual Nazi soldiers and labyrinths, but ultimately he'll have to face supernatural forces as well. Blazkowicz tried to reclaim the Spear Of Destiny from Nazi forces.
Adolf Hitler, with an obsession for such relics, may have had this at one point in time, and whether true or not, inspired this Wolfenstein 3-D prequel.īefore his adventures in Wolfenstein 3-D, B.J. A number of artifacts are claimed to be this Spear Of Destiny, which could have mystical powers as suggested by modern legends. The Spear Of Destiny, also known as the Holy Lance or the Lance Of Longinus, pierced Jesus's side as he hung on the cross. For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to DarkWolf's Spear Of Destiny (PC) maps.
