Wolf4SDL
A lot of source ports exist for Wolfenstein 3D, and we've played Wolfenstein for a long time with the Wolf4SDL, a simple port to play this classic in high resolution on the latest Windows systems, both 32 and 64 bits. It's rather hard to configure the port, but it's very stable. Unfortunately it's not maintained anymore. Instead, we use the ECWolf port, which is based on the Wolf4SDL port.

Although there were 3D games on the PC before Wolfenstein 3D (one notable example was Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss), it was this game by iD Software which brought 3D gaming to the masses. It was a simple game: Get to the end of the level, killing Nazis on the way. A sequel of sorts to Wolfenstein 3D that was released by Formgen as a retail only game (not shareware like Wolf3D) this demo version unfortunately contains only two playable levels. However the Spear of Destiny game is still great fun, although it uses the exact same engine, graphics, sounds etc as Wolfenstein 3D and features only new levels.
