Tim Hage from Tech Olive writes: "This month's retro review for me was hardly a choice. I grew up with this game, playing it quite a bit. Granted, this is surely not the first game I played, but this is the game that would make the biggest impact on my gaming future. Before I laid eyes upon Wolf3D, I had only really played basic platformers and random console games. Wolf3D is really the game that gave me the push and showed me not only that PCs where awesome gaming machines, but also that this "first-person shooter" game and genre was unlike anything I had ever played before."
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
The story of John Romero, John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and their legendary company id Software. From Commander Keen to Wolfenstein 3D, from Doom to Quake, they invented the 3D first-person shooter genre, and they transformed PC gaming into a multi-million dollars business.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! In honor of that legacy, we’re going to list some of the best Wolfenstein games and the worst. That’s right: it’s the Wolfenstein games ranked."
Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood
I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
