![]() ![]() The most remarkable thing about the project from today’s perspective is just how small it was: one little directory of code files with no external dependencies. Despite being open source, the 16-bit code and assembly language is not easy to build or experiment with, so far fewer people have looked into it than the later codebases. While often overshadowed by Doom, Wolfenstein 3D does hold a significant place in video game history, and it remains fun to run around in today, just like dropping a quarter in a Pac Man machine.

Episode 1: level 1Įpisode 3: level 7 (This is the secret Pac-Man level! Crazy Nazis!) Here is a list of what levels the secrets levels are on by Episode. It is usually accessible though a series of secret doors/panels within the secret rooms and usually located in the last room of that level (the room with the regular elevator). There are pretty hard to find if you don't have a map to help you. In every Episode, there is a secret (10th) level you can access by taking a secret elevator. O <- note that certain secret rooms have secret rooms within themselves(!!) and sometimes the movable panels of secret rooms can block off access to other secret rooms (this why you sometimes don't a get 100% secrets even though you've searched every nook and cranny).
