Is it because he can't afford to buy new clothes?

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.

Haven't been able to successfully point another subdomain there since!
