Frankly, we're not sure what's better, the fact that there's a Wolfenstein 3D room in Rage, or imagining the reactions from gamers too young to know what Wolfenstein 3D is.

I think that is well COOL :D They should of done a original DOOM room or level in the game tho.

@RealityCheck2011 Maybe they did. All of E1M1 would be cool.

How would you ever find that if you were just playing the game?!

Haha, yes I remember doing that, but you don't actually play games like that anymore. It would be impossible! Those were all tight corridors and you'd just spam the space bar as you walked along the sides and hope one of those paintings would be a secret door.

I thought my game was broken when I entered that area. "Why are the graphics so horrible?" Lol.

me too, one of my first ever memories of PC gaming. Used to scare the crap out of me when i was little though, used to have to turn off the PC :(

its pretty meh, they could have at least made a couple rooms connected to that and drop in some dogs/ Nazi or something.
neat idea, mediocre follow through. i was extremely let down from the video's buildup

Gotta love the original sounds as well. I absolutely love that pickup sound.

I have yet to play the game (gotta wait for a ride - I hate living in the middle of nowhere). Any word on how to get in here (preferably without spoilers)?

Nevermind. Didn't realize the video shows me. Probably shoulda watched it first. My bad.

Man Castle Wolfenstien 3D was one of my first PC games. That's just brilliant, I was meh on the game. Eventually I'd have picked up Rage but that just bumped it up my "To Get" list by like 3 spots on sheer sentimental value. :-)

Had to crack a smile when the door appeared. Too bad no one around to say, "Ach, mein Leben!"

I would love a Doom Room. Trollbait warning: I will always love Doom more than Wolfenstein.

Wolfenstein lost it with the Nocturnal Missions. They were so lazily put together they bring the whole series down. Doom, on the other hand, they kept up the great level design throughout the original series. Doom definitely takes the crown. Catacomb 3D will always be my favorite id property though. They need to bring that back in a big way!

@Therion There IS a doom room ;) I found it on the 360 version via no-clip. It's marked with "E1M1". Also saw a video on youtube with a Quake room.

Seeing that room just makes me realize how violently brown modern FPSs. It's more realistic for their settings, but it makes be pine for a little color.

That just made my day. So awesome.
Gotta play Wolf 3D now, it brings back joyous memories...

Remember when Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard did that too?
Yeah, I know it wasn't the greatest game. But it was pretty funny, and a lot of fun. The 2D Nazis would turn sideways and you couldn't shoot them. Lawl.
Ah...I want a new Parappa the Rapper...

Can we all agree that Wolfenstein 3D is one of the best FPS games ever made, because it was just so straightforward?

If you could travel back in time to play that video backwards for a gamer in 1992, his head would have exploded.

Daddy? What's a Wolfenstein?

not sure if you guys know this, but fyi this has to be completed on your first time there, so literally while you are doing the first mission
i just tried to do it now after finishing the quest and this time there is a barricade blocking you out from most of the area. thats actually really lame imo

I liked the old days of the internet when people just put up text explanations that there 'is an Easter Egg if you perform this series of actions'. Now there's no point in even bothering to go searching for it. I've seen it.
Thanks for the spoilers...gits...
