www.nintendo.com - Game Boy Advance:
Wolfenstein 3D is the granddaddy of all first-person shooters. This PC classic from the early '90s still packs a punch on the Game Boy Advance.
Before the gadgetry of GoldenEye 007, before the multiplayer mayhem of Quake and even before the demonic carnage of Doom, Captain B.J. Blazkowicz was blasting his way through a Nazi fortress in Wolfenstein 3D.
You begin with only a pistol and few rounds of ammo, but as you plow through Castle Hollehammer you become a one-man army. Straightforward as a Louisville slugger, Wolfenstein 3D maintains only two basic goals in each of its 60 levels: eliminate the baddies and find the exit. Fortunately, there are tons of secrets and treasures to collect and you will get a status report between levels.
Wolfenstein 3D is a picture-perfect port of the PC classic. Progress is saved to the Game Pak in one of four save files.
Available now, Wolfenstein 3D has been rated "M" (Mature) by the independent Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Wolfenstein 3-D is simply a technology breakthrough! The first person
perspective 3-D gameplay you'll be viewing is the fastest of any PC game
game--much faster than that seen in Origin System's The Stygian Abyss!
Incredible Sound Blaster digitized sound effects are used throughout the game.
Note: The shareware version has just a limited sampling of digitized effects.
To get ALL of the digitized effects, you must buy the full trilogy. Sound
Blaster Pro owners will hear the digitized effects in STEREO!
The story: You're William J. "B.J." Blazkowicz, the Allies' bad boy of
espionage and a terminal action seeker. Your mission was to infiltrate the
Nazi fortress Castle Hollehammer and find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust,
the Nazi's blueprint for building the perfect army. Rumors are that deep
within the castle the diabolical Dr. Schabbs has perfected a technique for
building a fierce army from the bodies of the dead. It's so far removed from
reality that it would seem silly if it wasn't so sick. But what if it were
true?
You were never given the chance to find out! Captured in your attempt to grab
the secret plans, you were taken to the Nazi prison, Castle Wolfenstein, for
questioning and eventual execution. Will you be able to escape and finish
your world-saving mission?
As an escaped prisoner in a Nazi war prison, you will move smoothly through
a 3-D world full of amazing detail and animation. Unlike other 3-D games,
you'll move SMOOTHLY through a sensational and realistic 3-D environment, with
intelligent moving guards and opponents.
This is a high-action game. Use your rapid fire machine gun to mow down a
line of enemies, or sneak up on a guard with your knife so you don't waste
your limited ammunition. Id Software, the creators of Commander Keen, have
broken new ground with their all-new Wolfenstein 3-D.
So impressive is this game that several of the TOP retail game publishers
wanted to publish Wolfenstein 3-D commercially. We're talking the
"biggies"--like Sierra Online, Electronic Arts, Origin Systems, and others!
