486 Deluxe EP1 - Wolfenstein 3D

01/08/23 • 32 min

Wolfenstein 3D (IMHO) was the catalyst for the modern first person shooter. It was also the reason I insisted that my parents pickup an IBM-Compatible PC. That PC would be an AST Advantage Adventure 6066d with a 486DX2/66 processor and 8MB of RAM and is the inspiration behind the 486 Deluxe podcast.
