Hello all,

I have a question about Spear of Destiny which is not mentioned on the store page. But does this release of Spear of Destiny also come with the two expansion packs that were made for it.

For that matter, does Wolfenstein 3D come with the Nocturnal Missions?

Yes to both questions.

Actually, it is mentioned on the store page.

* Battle Nazis, evil scientists, mutants and more with knives, pistols and machine guns
* Run, gun and fight your way through all 6 episodes of Wolfenstein 3D and the three missions of Spear of Destiny
* Play an unforgettable experience that set the standards for the First-Person Shooter genre

Six episodes of Wolfenstein 3D: without the Nocturnal Missions, there'd be only three episodes.
Three missions of Spear of Destiny: without the two Formgen mission packs, there'd be only one mission.

Thanks for the responses you two.

As for the store page information, I must have read over that. And as I did not know how much missions/episodes regular Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny have I did not realize that the expansion packs were included.

I don't think you'd find any Wolf3D versions nowadays that don't have episodes 4-6, as a matter of fact I think the original three-episode version is rare now.

That said the Spear Missions by FormGen are really terrible actually, the new graphics are pretty spiffy looking if more cartoonish than the originals but have been seen and done better with varying edits in numerous user sets, but the maps, Return to Danger in particular, are poorly designed. The Ultimate Challenge is a little better but not by a whole lot. What's interesting though is that they both have a few unique tiles exclusive to them, showcasing different themes. RtD has an atomic research theme and TUC a more traditional castle theme. They lazily re-use bosses between them however and there is no source code changes, new enemy and/or weapon behavior would of been welcome. The untouched ceiling colors are an eyesore too as they often don't suit the new tile colors. There's generally less color in the Spear Missions too, a lack of brown is quite apparent, making creating interesting looking and varied maps for RtD/TUC more difficult than the original games.

Bonus point for including a STG 44 as the machine gun replacement though.

Oh, a shame to hear that. But yeah, around that time expansion packs weren't always of the greatest quality, especially for FPS games.
Only a handful of titles that received proper data discs/expansion packs made by the original developers/decent developers.
