The Quirks of German Wolfenstein 3D (feat. Rebecca Heineman)

I think the funny thing is that in the prototype version of the SNES port, all the enemies and bosses that you fight say “Hey!” and Levels 2 and 3 are swapped. Also, Dr. Schabbs kept some of the blood on his shirt like in the original PC version before it was completely removed in the final cut.

And in the Japanese version of the SNES port, it wasn’t just Staatmeister who had his name changed, but also the Death Knight. While that he did manage to keep his original name, it has been revealed that his real name in that version is Roy Giggham (?), which sounds quite unique, a fact that I’ve never heard of before. Because the storyline says that you have to fight all the mutants, the game was given the subtitle “The Claw of Eisenfaust”. Well, we actually don’t know if that is even a character or not, and no, the game didn’t even tell us anything else about what the claw is or does.

To be honest I don't really care if the guy in blue is a Nazi or a German or anyone, really. I care about the gameplay, not the WW2 theme.
Wolfenstein is an FPS destilled to the very core. It's just action, run and gun. That's what it always was for me, so I don't care whether or not there is swastikas and blood.
It's just fun running around quickly and killing everything in your way. Okay that sounds slightly psychopathic, but you get the point. Abstract fun. You don't need motivation to have fun.

oh my god the return of burger becky

Considering Japan kept the name "Adolph", I'm amused in retrospect even that name by itself is nowadays shunned in the west compared to the more joy-inducing name of "Rudolph" (of the mythical Christmas reindeer)

Now I imagine the Germans denouncing their soldiers because when they walk they make soldier sounds

Not surprised that a game like this would face so many changes there lol

It’s oddly satisfying hearing him say German words

Wolfenstine 3d was ported to HTML5 for one of its anniversary's it had a country selection and was open sourced i don't know if that meant the Tie sets were different the US version used the uncensored MS-Dos v1.4 Tiles.

You know, from a certain point of view, removing full depictions of old Hittie and his crew from being killable enemies indicates killing them is bad.

wolf on snes is evil so imma go play good old family friendly Manhunt 2 on the Wii.

The Schützstaffel acted as Hitler's personal guard and ran the camps, but they were also a paramilitary organization overall, they would be sent abroad to act as garrisons and to take part of military actions, complete with their very own armored divisions and artillery companies. There were certain quirks and practical issues to that.

As they weren't actually part of the Wehrmacht, they weren't part of that supply system nor would they be issued equipment by them, rather they would have to arrange supplies and equipment themselves, and at times would have to compete with the Wehrmacht for available equipment. For instance, the MP40 (and previous MP38) is widely thought of as THE iconic Nazi subgun, but for the very most part they were only fielded by the Wehrmacht, and they had all the available production contracted to them, so any other organization in Nazi Germany would have to look for alternatives, and the SS were not different in that regard. Instead they would largely purchase various other designs from different manufacturers (Erma, Steyr-Solothurn, Bergman), which were generally more expensive and older fashioned kinds, complete with full wooden rifle stocks. Relying on captured arms wasn't unusual either, because there really was just never enough to fully go around.

Really, a lot of the efficiency popularly spoken of regarding Nazi Germany is myth, there was actually quite a lot of different tangled and convoluted clusterfucks going on.

or cuuuuuuu completely innocent white paint

DAS GUT

Peter will you do doom and quake after you finish with Wolfenstein?

I think that Germans should pay war reperations for Poland.

darn, i remember playing wolfenstine when i was 9 on a old pc that worked with dos that we had in the house, i actually got scared as a kid and thinked the line "Mein Leben!" was "My Liver!" good times...

An excellent and informative video and big props for getting an interview with Rebecca Heineman. Also, on the subject of Dr. Schabbs' name, it was a reference to an in-house joke at Id Software where "Shabs!" was used to describe anything that lacked quality.

Weaponlord is an awesomely gory fighting game for the SNES. If you decapitate your opponent and juggle their head enough times in mid-air, it explodes and their brains fly out. It's amazing.
