THE STORY
You are B.J. Blazkowicz, top Republic spy and terminal action seeker. After
building your reputation as a one man strike team, you now report directly
to the president, who sends you on perilous missions of paramount importance.
Somehow, you always manage to get the job done and get out alive - there's
more medals than material showing on your uniform.
These are the chronicles of a series of increasingly deadly missions,
culminating with an attempt on the Master State's commander-in-chief, the
Staatmeister.

THE MISSIONS
Mission One:...........Dresden Strike
Location:..............Castle Outside of Dresden
Objective:.............Terminate Hans Grosse and Escape
In this episode, we find B.J. Blazkowicz captured on a mission to uncover
the plans for Operation Eisenfaust. He's sent to a dungeon fortress and
subjected to harsh interrogation. In a desperate attempt to escape, he
overpowers his cell guard. Armed only with the guard's pistol and knife,
he must escape from this prison...if he can.
Mission Two:............A Dark Secret
Location:...............Castle Erlangen
Objective:..............Terminate Hans Grosse
The insane scientist Hans Grosse has developed a full line of the most feared
tool of modern warfare - the chemical weapon. You've been assigned to stop him
from his mad task. Castle Erlangen sits atop a small mountain, its massive
stone walls touched by a thin cloud of mist. No one knew the location of this
castle until a few days ago. You were rushed there in hopes of catching the
sparse guard unaware.
Mission Three:.............Operation Eisenfaust
Location:..................Dr. Schabbs' Research Laboratory
Objective:.................Terminate Dr. Schabbs
You must finish the mission you started in Mission One by finding out if
Operation Eisenfaust - a plan to create the ultimate soldier - is real.
The maniacal Dr. Schabbs has managed to graft a working gun onto the chest
of the recently destroyed, and then bring them back to life! Somewhere in
the depths of his laboratory, Dr. Schabbs awaits you with his re-animation
serum. Defeat him or he will turn everybody into mutants!
Mission Four:..............Trail of the Madman
Location:..................Mountain Fortress
Objective:.................Terminate Ubermutant
Trans has been terminated, but his weapons of woe are ready for the war-waging!
Hidden in the dank dungeons of their mountain fortress are the plans for the
first wave of the chemical nightmare. You must fight your way to the very
bottom, and battle the Ubermutant, who guards the plans. You begin your
adventure having descended in the castle's elevator. You are looking for the
map room that is guarded by the Ubermutant. These maps will lead you to the
secret base where the weapons and soldiers are being amassed. You've got to
find them fast - before choking clouds of nasty gas pour out over Eurpoe and
the world!
Mission Five:.............Confrontation
Location:.................Castle Heidenheim
Objective:................Terminate Black Knight
Chemical war is about to be waged on a massive scale unless you can stop
the evil Black Knight from unleashing his burning gasses! You found the
plans hidden in the musty dungeons of the Mountain Fortress, and they led
you here - Castle Heidenheim, perched atop a small rise between two massive
mountains. Inside its forbidding stone walls are tons of crack troops and
the grotesque Black Knight himself!
Mission Six:...............Staatmeister's Last Stand
Location:..................Castle Wolfenstein
Objective:.................Terminate Staatmeister
In this episode, you've been assigned to shatter the Master State by taking
out its nexus - the Staatmeister. You searched for him in his bunker, but he
has fled to Castle Wolfenstein, a titanic fortress designed to defend against
invasion. You must make it past numerous guards, tough elite guards, and
crack-shot officers all the way to your final confrontation with the
Staatmeister and you can be sure that he's ready for you!
THE ITEMS
There are many different types of items scattered about that you can pick up
to help you on your way. You pick up items merely by walking over them. Note
that you cannot pick up healing items if you are at 100% health. And you cannot
pick up ammo if you are already carrying the maximum amount.
Dinners: After clearing your hosts from the dinner table (you've always had
bad table manners), you should pick up some food to go! These dinners are
packed with nutrition, and will heal 10% of your health.
First Aid Kits: The bad guys have been intercepting Red Cross shipments and
storing them throughout their strongholds. These kits are the latest thing
in medical technology, and will heal 25% of your health.
Ammo: These guards are armed to the teeth. Gracious even in defeat they'll
leave their ammo for the taking! Pick up unused ammo for 5 bullets.
Ammo Boxes: These are spare caches of ammunition. Pick them up for 25 free
bullets.
Ammopacks: These are huge ammo packs which will increase the maximum number
of bullets you can carry. It never hurts to have a few extra rounds on your hip.
Knife: You always have a knife. It will help you out if you need a shave,
but isn't much good for any other purposes. To be used only when you
have no bullets!
Pistol: You always have a pistol, and will start the game out with one.
This is the weakest of the guns, but much better than a knife.
Machine Gun: This machine gun is the primary weapon of the elite guards.
It's an efficient and powerful weapon that is useful for attacking
multiple enemies. You can hold down the fire button for rapid-fire.
Chaingun: The chaingun uses the gatling gun principle of a rotating
barrel. It's a destructive machine that will clear the room. However,
it has a healthy appetite for ammunition. You can hold down the fire
button for rapid-fire.
Treasure: The Staatmeister has a twisted obsession for treasure and
other artifacts. His ill-gotten booty is stored within the walls of his
impenetrable fortresses. When you collect treasures, your "items" score
will increase. When you reach 50 items, you will gain one extra life.
SCEPTERS CHALICES CHESTS CROWNS
Keys: Some of the upper levels are well secured with locked doors and
elevators. You'll need to search the level for keys into these areas.
There are two types of locked doors in the enemy's fortresses. Some
doors require the gold key to open, and some require the blue key.
One Ups: Hidden within secret rooms of the fortresses are items that
give you that extra urge to keep fighting! Grabbing one of these items
will bring your health and ammo to their maximum levels, or give you
an extra life!
THE ENEMY
Guards: The guards are the grist for Staatmeister's mill, but can be an
effective force if fighting in groups. They wear no body "armor" and
can be brought down by a single shot. Carrying only a pistol, their
firepower isn't exactly menacing. Guards are slow to react and must stop
and take aim before shooting, making them particularly vulnerable to
machine gun attack.
Elite Guard: The Elite Guard are well-trained and can rarely be
surprised. Most will bark a warning when they become aware of your
presence. This can make for an easy head count. However, some are
trained to be silent. Wearing thick vests and carrying a machine
gun, the elite are difficult to bring down and pack a heavy punch.
If an elite shoots you at close range, the encounter will be brief -
because you'll be toast!
Officers: Officers are usually silent until they spot you. They can
rarely be surprised and they are fast, intelligent fighters. Officers
will move to the left and right as they fire, making them difficult to
hit as well as draining you of ammunition. An officer's weapon of
choice is a pistol. They wear light vests and can take about half
the damage of an elite guard. Don't underestimate their abilities.
In close quarters combat, these guys will make life miserable...and
short!
Mutants: Mutants, the products of Dr. Schabbs' twisted experiments,
don't make a sound until they shoot, greeting you with the crack of
gunfire. They are extremely aggressive until they fall. Mutants are
equipped with a pistol in the center of their chests, and their
cleaver-tipped arms make mincemeat out of any close foes. They wear
no armor but can take almost as much damage as an elite.
Mutant Rats: Dr. Schabbs' test animals are loose! These mutant rats are
fast and vicious and big, but one shot should take them down. Since they
dodge so well, it's best to get their attention and wait for them in a
doorway. If you don't wait until they are in close range, you'll waste
a lot of ammo.
HELPFUL HINTS
* Every level has hidden stuff. Not only could you use all those power-up
items, but you can get a nice bonus for finding all of it, too.
* Your captors may be rude hosts, but they would never hide anything
that would be necessary to escape. Keys and elevators can always be
reached through non-hidden passages.
* Pushwalls are usually in alcoves, corners, or the ends of hallways.
(But not always!)
* The doors and walls are not completely soundproof. Firing your
weapon is likely to bring nearby guards running towards you.
* Don't stay in a doorway with the guards in the room beyond. If you do,
they can easily sneak up from the side and shoot you.
* The closer you are, the more damage you can inflict.
* There may be secret experimental weapons well hidden somewhere in
the fortresses. There may also be secret elevators.
