Can we already reached the peak of the Silent Hill series after only two of our eight planned podcasts on the series?

Castle Wolfenstein – Cane and Rinse No.152 Nov 16, 2014

Show notes

In the first of four podcasts looking into the storied history of the (Castle) Wolfenstein saga, we start with the late Silas Warner's 1981 stealth/action hybrid for 8-bit computers. After gasping in awe and wonder at the ambition of its 1984 sequel, Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, Leon, Tony and guest Andi "Johnny Wolfenstein" Hamilton (of Midnight Resistance) then move onto the at least equally influential proto-Doom, Wolfenstein 3D (1992) as well as its same-year successor, Spear of Destiny.
