May 9, 2008 6:00 AM3D Realms has marked the 16th anniversary of Wolfenstein 3D's release with a discussion of the game and a collection of W3D related trivia. Created by id Software and released by Apogee Software (an earlier incarnation of 3D Realms), the shooter played an important role in the creation of the first person shooter genre.Since it is Wolf's birthday, we wanted to bring you a few small tidbits to mark the anniversary. First up is a recreation of the Episode 3 Boss battle with Adolf Hitler from the game. The unique thing here is that it was done in Lego! There is a current craze in doing things (especially games) in Lego, so why not recreate a classic game? This was done by Wolf fan Ciamoslaw Ciamek. Second up is an old piece of video. It's a TV interview from 1992 by Byron Harris for NBR with Scott Miller & George Broussard of Apogee as well as John Romero (then of id ). It talks about the two companies, and shows some of the background development of Wolf3D. We originally posted this video back in the summer of 1998, you can read that old news story for some background on the video. Wolfenstein 3D is still an item we sell 16 years later. The game has been ported from its PC original to a ton of platforms, including the 3DO, Super Nintendo, the Game Boy Advance, the Macintosh, the Atari Jaguar, and the good old Apple IIgs.Head over to the site below to read more.3D Realms: Wolfenstein 3D's Sweet Sixteen
