Jim Orlando working on Wolfenstein 3D demake for Commodore PET

Wolfenstein 3D, was released in 1992 by id Software, and is a landmark first-person shooter that popularised the genre. It built on the foundation of Castle Wolfenstein (1981), which introduced stealth-based gameplay in a World War II setting. Wolfenstein 3D shifted the focus to 3D fast-paced action, helping to define modern FPS games.

And now, you can (almost) play ‘Castle PETSCII-Stein 3D’ on the Commodore PET.

Jim Orlando, who as previous crafted various PET demakes such as Lemmings, and Donkey Kong) is attempting “to get a first-person shooter a la Castle Wolfenstein 3D running at reasonable speeds on a Commodore PET”

You can see the current version in the video below, which has weapon choice between knife / pistol / rifle, full 360 degree movement throughout the map, and bad guys that fire back.
