that game used to scare the hell out of me, it still does, 20 something years later. I love it so much, especially that peak moment of planting the bomb :) Thanks for the video!
Yeah the feeling as you went further and further down into the complex was just unbelievably intense. Absolute genius use of the footstep sounds in 1/2 time and double time to ratchet up the tension.
How could anybody trash the first Wolfenstein game(or any game made in the 80's??? It was the 80's man come on!) Timeless classic. Brings back childhood memories before the time of competitive online gaming.
Yea I used to sit and watch my brother play this game when I was young. These kids would freak out in the days of pre internet. We actually went outside to play and to talk to your friend was in person or by phone.
Cool! It appears that the first Medal of Honor games, took elements not only from Wolfenstein 3d, but also the entire "show your papers to progress" thing looks inspired from this.
Excellent workthrough. Really didn't know that it would not be a problem if you just move away without showing passes to the guards, as long as you can escape away in time.
This and the original Wolfenstein were notorious for killing itself due to the heavy floppy drive usage and getting bad sectors. The game was huge for the time (1984), and the elevator saves and loads each castle level so you can go all over the place clearing out the guards. A good way to burn the whole afternoon.
Probably a bug and not intentional. The Apple really struggled and at one point the game got a permanent slowdown. Still, it works in the games favour. :D
Lol.. when the voices started to pitch down I was like.. WTF.. this is getting scary.. was that because you killed a guard/advanced further in the game? or it was just the emulator doing weird things, if it was the emulator I can say they should have done that in the game because it actually put me nervous.
I had this game in the 80s during grade school. I think I had a defective version. I was able to play through just like that many times but it wouldn't give me the win when I got back to the original bunker. I even mapped out each room on a notepad and killed every SS soldier on the game several times. I was able to wander around the whole map with the alarm going and just the occasional new guy coming after me. Oh how many hours I wasted trying to get to the end!!
@Ryoga2K I think it has to do with 2 things, both how many are in the room and how deep in the bunker you are. ( too many slow the game down, and it also used on purpose)
@derKampfschimmel yes but besides that they shot another thing if u do not show your pass... something like 'har sarrow!' what was the meaning of that ? is that an 'intruder' shout in German?
@GoldScapePwner You might think it sucks but at the time it was incredible. See how you go 20 years from now looking back at the games of today.. you'll probably love them and your kids will say they "suck".
I've got DOS version of this. It is harder than its prequel, but you are clearly playing at the easiest skill level of the game ("Resistance Fighter"), since there are only 1, maximum 2 guards in almost all rooms (except for those seen from 4:08 to 4:45 and the penultimate one before Hitler's conference hall) and there are also a few alarms only, so it is far from being challenging! :-P Something weird happened to me instead. I had already downloaded this game back in 2016, but I've never played it until last week. Ok, basically the game was for some reason already set to the maximum skill level. I don't remember exactly its name, I moved game's DAT file elsewhere in order to reset BCW itself, but it was something like "Elite Allied Forces Spy" or "Elite Class Spy". Game's manual doesn't help, because it name is replaced by a lot of these "????????". Anyway, it looked impossible to me, because each room had at least 3-4 guards and 4-5 alarms. Secondly, it is more expensive to bribe them than in the easiest skills, you would go out of money after bribing 2-3 guards, so you have to find a door containing Marks or you have no choice: get them from the guards themselves! What I dislike: - The RNG feature, much more random than in the first Castle Wolfenstein. It is annoying especially when you start the game with a single Pass and it is the WRONG Pass! Not to mention the low possibility to find First Aid kits! And so on... - A glitch which happens when you hit a guard or a wall while walking. - You cannot force the guards to surrender, so when you aim at them with your gun at a close distance they will arrest you anyway! After DAT reset, I have reached "Top Secret Operative" level in a few days, but thanks to your video (and the manual I've found online), because when I played at hardest skill level for the first time, I seriously had no idea what to do! Lastly, I've read comments here. Well, I'm not german (but I have a brother who studied in Germany 3 years ago), but when a guard asks you for your keycard, sound like it is saying "Haus Pass". Maybe it is referred to the floor you are in (and not a house, lol!), since those passes do have a number and of course it varies after you use elevators or secret passages.
thats the first wolfenstein i guess, or there is another wolfestein before this? whatever now there is a lot of wolfenstein games (there is one for play3 to)
Man, I used to love this game. Could this have been the first stealth/infiltration game that didn't rely on bullets or brute strength? I used to kill every single guard en route (gotta love the dagger). Hadn't even realized that you could exit an area without answering them. Now, why did you shoot that particular guard at 4:51?
False. You don't carry the bomb by itself. It is in a briefcase (obviously the story is a loose interpretation of the July plot to kill Hitler with a bomb in his bunker, smuggled by Col. Stauffenberg in his briefcase). Once you try to reset the timer and someone passes by, he notices and either shoots at you, or runs to sound the alarm.
haha...at about 10:00, you almost got the alarm tripped. you're way ballsier running away from the guards than I was the last time I played this (which had to be no less than 22 years ago).
I mean honestly I would argue its a lot less rng as in the original once you got a disguise you were invincible unless rng decided to spawn some ss soldiers while in this game you have to carefully manage your resources to get through. The only rng part that I've seen is how quickly an alarm will trip if you start killing people with others in the room
It's much more fun when you kill all of the guards. That last room with 8 guys was tough to beat. You could just pop in, shoot somebody, step out of the room and they wouldn't follow you.
I understand everything the guards say (Halt, Kommen Sie, Ausweis, Heil...) except for when they come after you. It sounds like "Von Schoba" but that can't be right...any ideas? Anyone? :-)
I did prefer the first one on the Commodore 64. It is still a fun game today! Can anyone tell me why you need keys in Beyond Castle Wolfenstein? Where do you use keys?
Ok, I've found out today what keys are used for. You use them to switch off the alarm, which is located in a particular room on the 3rd floor (and maybe on the 2nd too, since there is another room with similar design over there, but I didn't check that one). And, in my previous comment I wrote the desk officer sentence in the wrong way: that guard, in fact says "Keys very valuable!".
"Beyond" makes it sound like this was not the first Wolfenstein game.. if it wasn't then I can't imagine what the first one must have been like. Probably a game like pong or something.
@@ryo3541 Wrong. A bunker-wide alarm is sounded and they start chasing you. This makes it harder to escape, but not impossible. Not to mention, that you might as well turn-off the alarm and still escape as usual. You would only be killed, if the bomb explodes in the room you are currently in.
@@scopchanov No that's only if the bomb goes off after you set it if it goes off while you're transporting it is game over. Obviously the return trip is much easier as most of the soldiers will be dead so it isn't nearly as likely to happen as on the way there
If you got wounded you might as well restarted the game. Limping around the complex stalls the game so much that it isn't fun anymore, and first aid is hard to come by.
that game used to scare the hell out of me, it still does, 20 something years later. I love it so much, especially that peak moment of planting the bomb :) Thanks for the video!
Now 34 something years later. Damn.
I always love the synthesized voices in old games like these...
Yeah the feeling as you went further and further down into the complex was just unbelievably intense. Absolute genius use of the footstep sounds in 1/2 time and double time to ratchet up the tension.
I see Hitlers meetings are a lot like the meetings at my work!
I don't get it.
Neither lol. I don't work at a Nazi convention
I saw that edit you just made.
I loved how the guards would scream and run for the alarm upon finding one of their comrades' body on the ground after you knifed them.
How could anybody trash the first Wolfenstein game(or any game made in the 80's??? It was the 80's man come on!) Timeless classic. Brings back childhood memories before the time of competitive online gaming.

Pfft. Remember the video-game adaption of E.T.? Lol even the people from the 1980's trashed that!
Cool! It appears that the first Medal of Honor games, took elements not only from Wolfenstein 3d, but also the entire "show your papers to progress" thing looks inspired from this.

I like how at the secret meeting Hitler and the attendees are just saying Heil back and forth each other.
Man this was the best. This and Karateka.
The audio seems to be better than in part one. "Halt! Kommen Sie! Ausweis! Heil!", could also be a friendly chat at a German bus stop.
I like how as you get deeper into the mission they sound more and more demonic.
Probably a bug and not intentional. The Apple really struggled and at one point the game got a permanent slowdown.
Still, it works in the games favour. :D
@@KapiteinKrenteboljust like gaming on apples today 😂
O_o...it got creepy when their voices got deeper..and deeper.
RIP Silas Warner...
The death screams on my apple IIc version of this game were classic.
Old spice, indeed.
If I remember properly, some of the closets were actually secret passageways to other rooms.
I never did figure out why the guards kept asking me for allspice.
If you're not kidding, they're saying "Ausweis" meaning identification.
Lol.. when the voices started to pitch down I was like.. WTF.. this is getting scary.. was that because you killed a guard/advanced further in the game? or it was just the emulator doing weird things, if it was the emulator I can say they should have done that in the game because it actually put me nervous.
The pitch varied randomly. Nothing else to it.
Loved this game. =)
Thanks for this video! We used to play this game in highschool but I never saw anyone win. I was always cocky and shot the guards until they got me.
RIP SILAS WARNER!!!!

man this brings back memories
Personally I think this has a tad more thought in it that shooting everything in sight. But 1st person shooters still rock in thier own way
This is the weirdest Old spice ad.
Never been able to complete this game, finally i can see the ending😂😂
Which is pretty much a good representation of any of my attempts of leaving any government building... :-)
So many memories. I always wondered, is the bomb the only option, was it possible to unlock the door of the meeting?
@Ryoga2K I think it has to do with 2 things, both how many are in the room and how deep in the bunker you are. ( too many slow the game down, and it also used on purpose)
can anyone tell me what the guards are saying when they go into attack mode. I've been wondering for about 30 years!!!
HALT, AUSWEIS, HEIL!
Still typical german conversation
I use to play this game back in the day with my uncle when I was a kid. This brings back memories.
@wbj1970 I believe they are saying "langsam!" which when used in that context can probably best be translated as "hold it!".
"HALT!" would be more appropriate. "Langsam" means slow in any context, which makes no bloody sense here....
@@NuGanjaTron again - they scream "pass auf" (watch out)
Thanks for doing this without the annoying, completely unnecessary commentary as heard in some of the other walkthroughs.
What a classic!
What the fuck happens to their voices through the game? The pitch gets lower and lower ._.
LOL sounds like the system/game is slowing down.
This was deliberate to make the guards sound different. The pitch changes are supposed to be random, though...
WOW - one of the first EVER games i had ....
@ 5:24 exactly like every company meeting i've ever been to.
@schtolteheim Actually, that's the opposite. They have backs in DOS, but not Mac. The only enemies without backs were the bosses.
@derKampfschimmel
yes but besides that they shot another thing if u do not show your pass... something like 'har sarrow!'
what was the meaning of that ? is that an 'intruder' shout in German?

the wall hit "glitch" is intended I mean you did just hit your head on a wall
I think the guards are asking for the "Ausweis" which basically means "passport". :-)
@zorinlynx
Guards can run out of ammo? I didn't even know that.
they should adapt the invisible agent universal movie into a game like this
AUSWEIS!
Die deutschen Stimmen sind erstaunlich gut
Is there any way to play these games on-line?
thats the first wolfenstein i guess, or there is another wolfestein before this?
whatever now there is a lot of wolfenstein games (there is one for play3 to)
This is weird .-D and scary sounds .-D
die sprachausgabe is für so ein altes spiel (1983) zimlich geil :D

Now, why did you shoot that particular guard at 4:51?
Perhaps because that guard was right on the alarm button?
walking around with a bomb, and no one notices! :*)
False. You don't carry the bomb by itself. It is in a briefcase (obviously the story is a loose interpretation of the July plot to kill Hitler with a bomb in his bunker, smuggled by Col. Stauffenberg in his briefcase). Once you try to reset the timer and someone passes by, he notices and either shoots at you, or runs to sound the alarm.
do you know the websites for the down load?
Thanks
memory leak in the emulator? it never sounded like that on the original machine..
haha...at about 10:00, you almost got the alarm tripped. you're way ballsier running away from the guards than I was the last time I played this (which had to be no less than 22 years ago).
Notice how everyone's voice became way lower after you put the bomb down.
lol i remeber how awesome were those games years ago
where to download this game?
Just beat this game, definitely harder than the first one. It has a lot of RNG and luck factors, but other than that fun game.
I mean honestly I would argue its a lot less rng as in the original once you got a disguise you were invincible unless rng decided to spawn some ss soldiers while in this game you have to carefully manage your resources to get through.

Does anyone know where I can find this game online?
It's much more fun when you kill all of the guards. That last room with 8 guys was tough to beat. You could just pop in, shoot somebody, step out of the room and they wouldn't follow you.
"Halt! Allspice! AAEEOO!" lol I do love these games still to this day
The game is much more strategy based that action based.
bassado! gangshanay!
what does all the things mean?is it german????
I understand everything the guards say (Halt, Kommen Sie, Ausweis, Heil...) except for when they come after you. It sounds like "Von Schoba" but that can't be right...any ideas? Anyone? :-)
If you still wonder - they scream - "pass auf" (Watch out!
)
yes, google "virtual apple 2"
@ 10:04 listen carefully as the guard calls: ha-saro!
what does it translates into ?
he says: "langsam", "slowly" meaning "don't hurry"
@@cescodini the guard actually screams "pass auf" (watch out) to warn the others in the room, even if there aren't any.
How can I get this game for my xp?
Why do you need to show your pass all the time are there different passes to show them
are those officers or soldiers

There was one before this, it looked exactly like this one and was released in 1981 and was called Castle Wolfenstein.
All spice?
