![]() ![]() More technically it is named Bagatelle No. When they are down, we can work out where we are.įirstly, the music still playing on the radio (assuming you didn’t shoot it in the firefight!) is Für Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven. Whatever room we start fighting from causes all the other soldiers to come running, so just deal with it. ![]() In the second longer room, that can be reached from the right of the entrance or on its far end that joins the left-hand room is two more soldiers that are eating. The building is not empty it has one soldier in the smaller room to the left behind what looks like a bar listening to the radio. There is also an entrance that takes us away from the courtyard but it appears to be locked. On the far side of where we entered the courtyard is a door that is unlocked and should get us into the central building. Taking the left path doesn’t show too much of interest or Nazi soldiers. As it will turn out, it doesn’t matter which way we go first so I will choose to go left. As we join this pathway in the middle of a straight, we have an equal option to go either left or right. Alternatively, this may be closer to the administrative center. ![]() While the first level seemed to be the living area of the average person, if this is too a living area, this seems to be for a higher status level people. The building is large and it leaves a path, maybe 12 feet wide that stretches almost all the way around it. What we are looking at here is a large two story structure that sits in the middle of a courtyard. After dealing with him, it’s time to look at where we are. When we descend to the bottom, we encounter a soldier on patrol. The level starts exactly where the previous one finished and we soon reach the top of a flight of stairs. The last mission tells us that we will be moving up the weapons hierarchy from hand guns and rifles, which is where we currently stand. The second objective implies that there are at least two courtyards in this level and there will be some sort of challenge to get to the second one. After destroying the radio in the first level, now it seems we’ll get to actually use one. Our first objective, to contact Agent One by radio is something that we were told to do from the beginning. I didn’t include the second or third as they are the same as the previous level. While we are still in the city or whatever this is, the vibe of the next level is different from the last one. If we considered Part 1 as RtCW on training wheels, here we get to take them off and play the game as it’s supposed to be. You can't resize the screen, which makes the blocky resolution an even bigger problem.So we are now on the second part of the Ras el-Hadid mission (no indication of how many parts there will be).Enemies always face the player due to the limitations of the SNES port, making sneaking up on them virtually impossible.The cover art is rather shoddy it's just a bland, black background with a generic Vietnam-era soldier (with an M16A1, an Uzi and a Beretta 92FS, none of which were actually in production during World War II) that hardly looks like B.J.As an example, the Machine Gun can't be used after getting the Chain Gun. You can't use a specific weapon after you get another one.This is especially not ideal considering the type of game Wolfenstein 3D is. Technical limitations for the console make the resolution very blocky, which in turn makes enemies hard to clearly make out.Blazkowicz's face in the HUD when his health reaches 25% or lower isn't censored and is also the only thing left uncensored in the game. The same thing happens to all the other bosses, without any death quotes when they had such in the DOS games. For instance, Hitler's (or Staatmeister's) death animation consist of him simply falling over like the officers, instead of dissolving into a pool of his own blood and organs like he does in the original version. All blood is replaced with sweat, guard dogs are replaced with mutant rats, and the bosses are also edited and show a lazily copied animation when they are defeated.All Nazi symbols and imagery are removed (which also allows this version of the game to be legal in Germany due to Article 86a, which prohibits the display of such symbols in games unless for educational purposes, as the other versions were banned due to this), Hitler was renamed "Staatmeister" (which translates to State Master) and his mustache was removed, the title screen music was replaced with the "Evil Incarnate" track from Spear of Destiny, and the enemy soldiers speak English despite the game taking place in Nazi Germany (the city of Dresden is mentioned in the first mission).As mentioned above, this version was heavily censored so that it fell within Nintendo's notoriously restrictive "child-friendly" content policies. ![]()
