The Story

John Carmack's ray casting engine turned flat 2D map data into a convincing 3D environment fast enough to run on a 286 CPU — which nobody believed was possible. You are B.J. Blazkowicz escaping a Nazi castle with a stolen machine gun. Wolfenstein 3D invented the first-person shooter template that Doom would perfect and Quake would transcend. The shareware episode was downloaded millions of times and triggered the first serious wave of moral panic about video game violence.
