Wolfenstein Collection is a mod for registered Wolfenstein 3D, made by MCS. It was released on November 4, 2000.
Description[]
The mod features 30 levels played in a seamless flow (26 regular, 4 secret "challenge" levels) though it is firmly rooted in original Wolfenstein 3D. Many sounds and music chunks were changed, mainly coming from Blake Stone. Some new graphics were added as well. The status bar utilized digital-looking letters, giving off a more temporary edge. Blood was removed from all enemies when shot, but was retained on bosses. Level design is oftentimes quite maze-like in places and in many cases quite difficult. Some keys may be found in secret areas.
Coding changes include seamless level flow, different enemy- and weapon behavior, extra added doors and objects, changed ceiling colors and music order and the addition of the Spear of Destiny in the Wolfenstein 3D engine.
Source code and legacy[]
Its source code later saw separate release, and a number of mods exist using this mod as their base. An early one to do so was Guild of Darkness. Joshua Waight made several mods that used Wolfenstein Collection or its source code in edited form, such as the The Secret Missions. As late as 2024 the mod was used as the base of a mod, Death Trap, which was endorsed by MCS.
