id Software Unleashes Wolfenstein
3D Classic on the iPhone

id Software has announced that they
are unleashing Wolfenstein 3D Classic for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The
“grandfather of first person shooters” will now feature your choice of all new
touch and tilt-based controls personally developed by technical visionary and id
Software founder, John Carmack.

John recently said “Not very long
ago, it was an open question if classic first person shooter play styles could
be adapted to the touch and tilt controls of the iPhone and still remain fun, so
I set out to find the answer with a small research project based on our classic
Wolfenstein 3D game. It quickly became apparent that it could work out very well
indeed, and it was a lot of fun to grow the project from a little experiment
into a full-fledged product. To me, the iPhone is the most exciting new platform
in ages, and I am very much looking forward to bringing our entire historic
series of titles over, as well as brand new work.”

Wolfenstein 3D Classic is non-stop
action and all of the memorable enemies are there for players to conquer from
Hans Grosse to MechaHitler! As OSA super agent B.J. Blazkowicz, players must
escape from Castle Wolfenstein and defeat the twisted Nazi regime. The game
includes all six original episodes with 60 classic levels and unforgettable
weapons like the brutal chain gun that still define action gaming today. Also, a
new top down map shows where you have been in each level while players can
search for hidden secrets that reveal stolen Nazi treasure, health packs, ammo
and weapons, or even short cuts.

Fans can expect a lot more from id
Software in future releases of their world renowned games now coming to the
iPhone. Wolfenstein 3D Classic is just the first in a series of unforgettable
games under the “id Classic” label that they plan to release. Watch for upcoming
information about id Software’s other classic properties, including DOOM and
QUAKE coming soon.

Wolfenstein 3D Classic is currently
available at the iPhone app store for $4.99 and can be accessed at
