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.
