Remember your old Apple computer? If you had one, you most likely remember Silas Warner's incredible Castle Wolfenstein. The game featured ASCII looking graphics and was the world's first talking computer game.

In the game, your mission was to escape from the confines of a Nazi fortress. You could raid supply chests for useful (and not so useful) items like bullets, grenades, and uniforms to sneak past the guards with. The brown-shirted guards and deadly SS stormtroopers goosestepped around the castle, hollering at you in German and trying to catch you. The game was quite addictive, and spawned some of the 3d versions that you see today. I was told some years ago that Mr. Warner was inspired to write the game after seeing The Guns of Navarone...

I killed many, many hours playing that game. Now, over two decades later, I am an amateur game programmer (among other numerous hobbies). Though I originally began my hobby with Macromedia Flash. Some time ago I ran across the fabulous Gamemaker program by Mark Overmars, and decided that it was the perfect tool to create this game.

I have kept what I felt to be all of the best points about the original game, and have added some new ideas of my own, such as the trenchcoat-wearing GESTAPO agents. I am proud to say that all of the graphical elements in the game are mine and will be distributed freely after the final release.
