Wolfenstein 3D (Atari Jaguar review)

Developer: id Software
Publisher: Atari Corporation
Released: 1994

Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter that was originally released on MS-DOS in 1992.

+ Level design has intricate layouts (with plenty of opportunities for flanking), and there's four save slots available.

+ Replayability is sky high due to the amount of hidden treasure and secrets that the game scores you on after each level.

+ Good range of weaponry (with the Rocket Launcher able to pierce several foes at once) and there's generous auto-aim.

+ Music intensifies the atmosphere in a similar way to Castlevania (1986, NES) and the huge bosses are terrifying to battle.

- Gameplay can become quite repetitive, especially as the stealth elements from the MS-DOS version are absent.

- Missing lots of stages compared to the MS-DOS original, and some enemies have jittery diagonal animations.

- Controls have too much travel on the h-axis, and the game gets confused between actions and strafing when near doors.
