Wolfenstein 3D' is a first person shooter developed by id Software and released on May 5th, 1992 for DOS-based IBM PC compatibles. It was later ported to a variety of computers and consoles, typically with a lot of changes made during the development of the SNES version. It was a smash hit, and led directly to the development of Doom.

The player assumes the role of B.J. Blazkowicz, a US soldier turned POW during World War 2, who must shoot his way through a variety of Nazi bases while recovering stolen treasures.

PC-9801 Versions

Ports of Wolfenstein to the NEC PC-98 architecture were programmed by Id Software (who handled the support for the Japanese language) and Infinity Co., Ltd. (who handled the NEC-specific programming). Though based on Intel processors like the IBM PC, the PC-98 series featured a custom bus and different video hardware which made it binary incompatible with most PC software.
