In a few moments two new troopers will arrive in the cable car, so make sure you run back upstairs to greet them. Once they are all dead, save and activate the pulley mechanism. If you like, you can throw a few bang-sticks around for good measure. Do this to the mechanic, the guys in the upper section and then go downstairs to deal with the others. Without doubt, one of the most entertaining sections of the game is the 'tram' level, which is actually about cable-cars, but who cares.įirst, eradicate all resistance using the usual technique of kicking the Nazis in the balls and then stabbing them in the back. The fact that they're not very good at it means that they will generally come at you one by one, allowing you to murder them with impunity. You can also hide down by the gate and wait, while the others frantically jump around like morons, trying to get up into the dining area. This doesn't get you all that far because the gate is locked, but it does make things easier in terms of kicking the guy to death and eating his lunch. To your immediate right is a small ledge, and it is possible to jump onto this and get to him immediately without going down through the basement. Once you have massacred enough people to permit entrance into the rest of the level, you will end up in the dining room, where the Captain is having his dinner. It is possible to drop down onto his head, which interestingly, does not alert him to your presence and you can hop down and slip away without him being any the wiser. Two of the Nazis will have a chatter, and then one goes to stand by the window, while the other heads to the barracks. Having escaped the first level, you'll be in the castle proper. This uncanny ability is compounded in Wolf:NO and WOB where he is able to grab massive sheets of scrap metal from broken robots and somehow absorb their potency into himself through unnatural means. Where it starts to get a little freaky is that he can have up to about 5 helmets on his head at once without looking like a complete tit, and somehow their protective powers are combined. A flak jacket and helmet should put you up to full protection, which is sensible enough. I should also add that, as per Wolf3D, BJB has the remarkable ability to absorb food through his feet, and also armour. When combined with the kick - another new trick he's learned since Wolf3D - the result is devastating and many Nazis have been heard to shout 'Mein Gott!' at the mere sight. This makes a highly disturbing sound like shears or military-grade scissors. In an improvement on Wolf3D, where the knife was virtually useless, BJB can now stab at around five times a second, like a gourmet chef on amphetamines. Your initial weapons will be a pistol and a knife. In RTCW, you do actually get to see this happen, unlike Wolf3D where you wake up with no memories, staring at a corpse like some kind of whodunnit movie where the protagonist has been framed. Many of these traits apply to RTCW as well, as we shall see.Īs usual, the game starts with you in prison, next to the corpse of someone you've just murdered. BJB will also quite happily eat dogfood (unlike the Michelin man, as far as I know.) By rights he should have ended up like the Michelin man rotund and covered in bandages. Repair virtually all of his perforated organs with food and sticking-plasters. Somehow it also managed to sustain this, in spite of the bizarre legoland architecture, gigantic boss-monsters, and the fact that the hero could Wolf3D was revolutionary at the time and could also be quite creepy, with the music adding tremendous atmosphere.ĭespite having a solid-colour ceiling and floor and being entirely made from cubes, the game managed to instill a sense of revulsion at the atrocities of the era. I'm going to gloss over the even-more-original Apple II games because I've never seen them. I draw particular attention to the fact that the game includes the Swastika, which is illegal to display in Germany as part of their continuing attempts to avoid Germany going off the rails like that ever again.Īs with Wolf:NO, I shall be replacing the Swastikas with symbolism commonly associated with LSD, in order to avoid offending people, or at least to offend them in a different way.īefore we get going, it is worth mentioning the original Wolfenstein 3D. If you don't want to see that, you should probably stop reading now. Return To Castle Wolfenstein is 15-rated, containing violence, some swearing and also Nazis in rather fetching leather catsuits. Made using iortcw 1.5a for 64-bit and HD support
