Into The Eagle's Nest

DOS - 1987

Perhaps best described as Wolftenstein 3D from top-down perspective, Into The Eagle's Nest is neither as addictive nor revolutionary as that id classic, although it embodies the same find-keys-to-unlock-doors puzzle element mixed with standard shoot-everything-in-sight gameplay that will be familiar to any arcade fan.

The top-down perspective severely limits character animations to jerky, very blocky movements, and makes all the enemies look identical. Worst yet, there are simply too many enemies in the game and too little ammo to pick up, making the game impossible for all but the most expert of gamers.

Steer clear of this one if you are frustrated easily with this type of game, and just play Wolfenstein 3D instead if you are itching to unlock doors in action games :-)

Absolutely loved this game on my C64. I was about 12 years old when this came out and it was one of my favorites. Years later I remembered playing it but couldn't remember the title anymore. Now thanks to sites like this I can relive my youth :D

@lamer Irrelevant. Predating a game doesn't mean it can't be described as similar. The claim that this is in any way better than CW is equally erroneous.

LOL @ hotu review... This game predates Wolf3D by 5-6 years, and is better compared to the original Castle Wolfenstein.
