The results are surprisingly good, even more so considering the “game” took just 72 hours to put together.

So it’s no surprise that it served as the inspiration for a fantastic proof-of-concept at a recent game jam, where modders recreated the first level of the game but with 3D graphics, ragdoll physics and destructible walls, as reported by Kotaku. Wolfenstein – the original, not the 2014 reboot – is the grandfather of the first person shooter, and as such occupies a special place in the hearts of older gamers. I’ve reached out to them to find out if there’s any chance of it becoming a full game, and will share any pertinent info when I get it. UPDATE: Here’s a reason to feel especially proud of this mod: it was developed by South African game creation outfit Free Lives, the studio behind BroForce and The Expendabros, two incredible side-scrolling shoot-em-ups.
