Wolfenstein 3D Videogame (1992)

  Hello everyone!!! Hints & Strategies  : Don't rush into the room. If there is only one entrance, let the Nazi guards come out at you. Get at an angle with the entrances, as Nazi guards stay hidden until you move close to the door. If you run at someone and shoot them point blank, you are more likely to wound them. Plus, this will provide less time for them to shoot you. Every level has hidden stuff, like extra health and ammo. Necessary items aren't hidden. Keys and elevators can be reached through normal passages. After taking too many bullets, eating dog food will provide a small boost to health. Conserve ammo and make your shots count. If armed with only a knife, don't rush into a room full of guards. Spend your time looking for hidden rooms which may provide more ammo. The closer you are to an enemy, the more damage he takes with each shot. Search for hidden passages. Weapons available  : Pistol, machine gun, Chain-gun, combat knife. Enemies  : Nazi guards,...
