Wolf 3D : Spear of Destiny
(ID Software/FormGen, 1992)
By the time people started playing the way-cool
Castle Wolfenstein 3D
shareware game, everyone wanted in...namely, any number of game
distributors! To hear ID software tell it, everyone from Sierra
OnLine to LucasArts themselves offered to help distribute the
game...and a license of the game engine, of course. Microsoft
even offered the demo level of the game, right in boxes of their
most recent MS-DOS (version 5, I believe). However, once ID let
someone (finally!) distribute the game, it was quite old, and
sold to many people by mail. The solution; make a "sequel"
type of game, with a different story arc, and completely new
game maps and missions. The result is Spear of Destiny.
While it's not very different from Wolf 3D in many respects,
it allowed many more people, off the shelf, to see the next generation
in action gaming. That alone is reason for a "thumbs up,"
no matter how much, in truth, it was essentially a "mission
disk."
