It's cira Wolfenstein 3D, so we're talking 1992/3. It was a DOS WWII shoot'em-up, based in a German Castle. It used an over-head view and the word "Eagle" keeps popping into my mind (could be way off here though).

Any ideas? It's driving me nuts !!

I know the one - I think I still have it somewhere on my machine at home. I'll confirm it later, but I'm also sure "Eagle" is in there somewhere.

Can you remember the format?

I have memories of an amiga (i think) title called 'eagles nest' that was viewed top down (gauntlet style) in a WW2 castle.

Hanslow

Sounds like Into the Eagle's Nest to me (agreeing with ptholt).

Had it on the Speccy and Amiga

ozzy

Superb, I knew I could count on you guys.

Not sure about Amiga/Spectrum, as I only ever saw it on a PC.

Eagle's Nest sounds like it though. If you know of any sites where I can get a copy of it, let me know.

Cheers,

Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first games written by ID software. It started the Doom, Quake series. Id have just released a playable demo called 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein'. Its ment to be Wolfenstein using the Quake 3 engine.

While playing Wolfenstein 3D as soon as you walked into a room the guards would turn around and shout something. Was it Eagle? (Think not)

ptholt

From memory when you walked into a room or a guard noticed you they shouted 'ACHTUNG'

For those with a nice large collection you can download the multiplayer test for return to castle wolfenstein.

Its a single player map, quite nice, nothing really stunning imo.

You can host your own server if you just want to have a walk around and test the weps etc without playing online, but for a true idea you need to play it online.

I was a tad disapointed personally.

Ozzy,

Your email doesn't work. I have a little zip file you might be interested in. It works in DOS, and is fairly basic (no pun intended for those of you old enough to remember!)

Let me know when I can send it to you.

ozzy

XRS,

No e-mail probs as far as I'm aware unless Telewest are playing up.

I got all the notifications for your replies through using that e-mail address.

I'll send you a mail offline just to test it works.

Cheers,
Stefan

XRS,

You have mail.

Ozzy,

You should have received my reply by now.

Enjoy!

Don't forget it runs in DOS, and when I tried it out it messed up my system so that I had to reboot. Tsk, modern systems just can't cope with these old files, but you've got to be impressed with how much they packed into 55k!

ozzy

XRS,

Here was me thinking I'd get at least a 1MB file, but 55K - Jezus !!

It actually runs well under W2K with no crashes so far.

Cheers,
Stefan
