Return to Castle Wolfenstein
the legendary cult classic, the first reboot of Wolfenstein 3D
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (or RtCW) was the first reboot of the Wolfenstein 3D game. Graphically it used the Quake 3 engine and developed by not iD software, but Gray Matter Interactive (previously Xatrix Entertainment, they made Kingpin, a Quake expension pack and the Redneck Rampage games, and they died when Activision merged them into Treyarch).
"Two operatives of an allied espionage agency, William "B.J." Blazkowicz and Agent One are captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in Castle Wolfenstein during their attempt to investigate rumours surrounding one of Heinrich Himmler's personal projects, the SS Paranormal Division. Agent One is killed during the interrogation, while Blazkowicz escapes custody, fighting his way out of the castle. As the challenge is still afoot, Blazkowicz discovers that the Nazis are constructing a plan called 'Operation Resurrection', which oversees resurrecting the dead as well as dealing with supernatural elements, using them for their own advantage to win World War II against the Allied power."
The game become a cult classic, to this day I read comments on videos, where people said how cool it was to play this game as kid, that RtCW was introduced them to the FPS genre.
