Keys are just too damn close to where they have to be used. I feel this is the case with numerous original maps. It is interesting that the key is stowed away in the same area as the locked door (the large gray stone finishing area), very closely knitted. It is so damn huge, and many of its rooms and treasures are far away from where the pivotal point is. For many years, I would often forget how much of an experience this map was. Another speed-runs approach - pick up ammo and food while you wait for the door to open. Well, the trick is to pick things up *while* the pushwall is moving. The way the guards and lamps, plants and tables are positioned makes it hard just to race through if you want to get all the stuff. And I still never really quite found out the fastest way to pick up all the treasure in the middle room where there is a secret area behind the Hitler portrait. Yeah, I often get taken by surprise in the final gray stone area of E1M1. They play differently just about every time, and there's no other sequence like it in the 60 maps. Otherwise, I'd say those two "broken box" areas with one plate of food in each. That is - if you've never played the map before. The most definitive sequence in E1L1? I'd say the opening room. Īnd now let's take a moment of appreciation at E4M10. Personally, E1M9 is the level that sticks in my mind, but I'll always remember the excitement of the first time I found the secret areas on E1M1 that led to E1M10. Ground-breaking games I’ll always remember my first time and E1M1 is cemented into my memory. Although, once I started getting further into the game and used to all the eye/earcandy, the subject matter made more of a difference, but that discussion is for another day. It didn’t matter that the game was about fighting the Nazis. Later it came down to competition, like who could find an elusive secret or who could finish it the fastest with/without perfect scores. The sharpness of the graphics/sounds compared to older games also caught my attention. Subject: Re: Wolfenstein 3D MAP BY MAP THREADįor me, the initial sight of the player being able to move around a level with normalcy as opposed to the old side-scrollers was the first thing that hooked me. It always baffled me how solid E1M1 and Episode 1 as a whole actually is, given its relatively limited resources. And it is amazing how far one can come with only three different textures gray stone, blue stone and wood panel. Spear of Destiny's opening level was never as immediate and head-on as E1M1 ever were. Surely you guys must have something to say on the subject as to why E1M1 is so enduring. We will chat about E1M1 for a bit and then move on to E1M2 (or even E1M10, whatever gets the discussion going). I imagine we will be going about this chronologically. I would really love to try and see if this discussion can go somewhere. I suppose this can be said with so many other of the Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny maps. What exactly was it about E1M1 that made it an instantly recognizable map? Boiled down to essentials, the map is very much about escape and navigating the hell out of a foreboding castle. I was thinking of the 30th anniversary and what made both the WL1, W元 and WL6 versions so appealing.
