Armageddon is a mod for registered Wolfenstein, made by Barry Christian. It was released on June 12, 1999.
Description[]
The mod features 60 levels, slotted into different units. A similar approach had been taken in The Six Depths of Terrorism and would later be taken in The Road to Neuschwanstein. Some graphics and sounds were changed, mainly originating in Spear of Destiny or DOOM, but in general the original atmosphere is retained. Coding changes include four keys, seamless level flow and changed ceiling colors and music order. Difficulty names and end messages in the menu were also changed.
Of the 60 levels, one particular noteworthy level is level 9, which featured a large maze where BJ must escape mega spiders (which replaced Pac-Man ghosts) in order to complete the level. Mapping shows overall steady progression as compared to Barry's earlier efforts, with smoother, thematically appropriate layouts (although the "Pipeline" section is taken perhaps a tad too literally) and cutting down on superfluous treasure, which otherwise filled out a large amount of The Six Depths of Terrorism's maps.
Ports[]
An SDL port was released on August 3, 2013, courtesy of Andy Nonymous. Many extra additions were featured such as all keys showing on the status bar, amended mapping bugs, end level stats showing on all levels, extra added digit to scores section and general functionality fixes. A 4GW port was released on December 13, 2016 courtesy of Officer-Michael John.
