Gaming:

Want to play Wolfenstein 3D on Windows 10 / Linux ?
I've tested a couple things that work even better than DosBox!

I think these patches support Spear of Destany as well ;)

ECWolf for Windows allows you to play Wolf3D on Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Due to lack of a test machine I can't verify it to work on Windows 8 (but others say it does...).

Linux users will need to get Wolf4SDL in order to play Wolfenstein 3D natively.
apt get usually works nicely for most distros ~ link is for additional instruction.
Also linking this (the developer's) page [Chaos-Software] for convenience.

You will need your original Wolfenstein 3D game files for these to work.

Cool Utilities...

The software is tested on different versions of Windows and the results posted.
They even offer a small list of FSP accessable sites.

You can find a motherload of useful utilities at tinyapps.org... linking if only for my own use!

Speaking of motherloads... Here's a working mirror of simtel.net (ftp) ...loads of stuff that you either thought was extinct or never knew existed.
come to think of it... a simtelnet mirror might make for a good addition to this site... if only we had more bandwidth/speed...

Here's is a handy reference page
loaded with all kinds of information:
