You stand over the guard's body, grabbing frantically for his gun. You're not sure if the other guards heard his muffled scream. Deep in the belly of a Nazi dungeon, you've only a knife, a gun, and your wits to aid your escape.

Just a few weeks ago you were on a reconnaissance mission of extreme importance. You were to infiltrate the Nazi fortress and find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust. Captured in your attempt, you were taken to their prison, and awaited your execution. Only you know where the plans are kept, and the Allies will face a great defeat if you don't escape! You must face the horrors of the prison keep known as Wolfenstein.

Holding down the fire button is fun, but short bursts save bullets.

Some walls in the prison can be pushed back to reveal hidden rooms. Hold down Space to push the wall in front of you. Just think of Space as the Use key. It will use doors, use elevators, and so on.

There are locked doors in the castle that require either a gold or silver key. It will be somewhere on the floor you're on.
