Wolfenstein 3D

Wolfeinstein is a first person shooter game, set in World War II period, where the player takes control over American spy, B.J. Blazkowicz, in order to infiltrate German Nazi castle Wolfeinstein and defeat the Third Reich.  The game has set some basic standards of first person shooters, as it was the first one to be released in 3D. However, the game HUD, resolution and most importantly gun placement are a big difference compared to nowadays games. 

Mainly because it was a first big attempt for First Person Shooters and the computer hardware wasn’t as good as these days, but the game helped define the genre of RUN – and – GUN games. Wolfenstein was first released in May, 1992 on Microsoft’s early operating system, DOS.
