The Infamous SNES Version of ‘Wolfenstein 3D’ is Now Playable on PC
Wolfenstein 3D is fun. The Super Nintendo port? Not so much. Completed in three weeks during the development of DOOM, Nintendo (being Nintendo) forced id Software to take out all of the blood and Nazi imagery (including Hitler’s mustache). At least you get a grenade launcher, rocket launcher and plasma gun as “compensation”.
If you’re really inclined to play this version, but don’t have a SNES or the cart handy, modder AstroCreep has brought the SNES version to the PC via ECWolf. In order to play Wolfenstein 3D – Claw of Eisenfaust, you’ll need Wolfenstein 3D 1.4 and the latest version of ECWolf (which you can snag here).
It’s not a 1:1 conversion, as according to AstroCreep himself, he was “a bit impatient” in getting everything changed, so this mod includes “a modified HUD from ECMac and a few placeholder sounds and HUD graphics left over from PC Wolf”. Still, the rest of the sprites and textures from the SNES version are here, mutant rats and all.
And in case you’re morbidly curious, here’s what the SNES version played/looked like.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
