After three decades, the 1992 original has been remade by Wonder Tonic with a graphical underhaul that truly underwhelms. Thrill as you walk to the right, shooting blue and orange lines (Nazis!), opening cyan lines that represent doors and desperately hoping for a magenta line to appear when you’re down to your last bullet.
If you truly do not care about graphics, play Wolfenstein 1D.

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 5:11 PMHate to nipick but one pixel line is 2D, not 1D. the clue is in the name. ’1 Pixel” which would be the height, which would be a dimension. The ‘Line’ would be the width. That’s your second dimension right there.

This game is 1D just as much as Wolfenstine was 3D.
Technically there was no jumping, steps or stairs in W3D, thus making it a game with 3D perspective projected onto a 2D display device, with only two translational and one rotational degrees of freedom, most commonly controlled with a 2D x-y pointing device (or mouse).
