Beyond Castle Wolfenstein Re-Compiled

Posted by simoniker on from the back-to-the-classics dept.

hypethetica writes "In memory of game developer Silas Warner, a fan-based port of the original PC boot-diskette version of the 1985 classic, Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, has been disassembled, CPU speed fixed, and Soundblaster support has been added. The new game executable, blessed by Silas' widow, runs in DOS, Windows, and DOSBox emulators. Both the executables and source code (x86 assembly) are available for download."

    • remake the older id games with the DOOM3 engine and sell them at a discount price

    Why port to the doom3 engine, and not simple SDL or something?
    That would require re-creating all the game graphics in 3D, makes no sense..
