I didn't want to 16 remember all that I had been through all those years ago, when, as 17 POW's, my friend and I decided an escape attempt would be better than 18 a slow death by torture and starvation. 19 20 My friend and I made crude maps and hoarded food. The day of the 21 escape we clubbed the guard with stones, took his gun and fought our 22 way through two levels of underground tunnels (only a few guards and 23 had to crawl). I made it, my friend didn't. 24 25 Dreams...NO! NIGHTMARES...YES!! However, the more I play 26 WOLF the less frequently I have nightmares. The chilling part is 27 turning a corner and seeing a guard with his gun drawn. 28 29 WOLF is a powerful game. Fearful as well. I believe that a 30 person should face the past. So... when I can play EPISODE 1 31 comfortably (no nightmares), I plan on ordering the full series. 32 33 Don't let a few bad dreams make you discard this game. 34 35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36 37 Subj: Wolf-3D Section: Action/Arcade Games 38 From: Ty Graham 72350,2636 # 191387, * No Replies * 39 To: Id Software 72600,1333 Date: 24-Jul-92 18:27:27 40 41 Jay, just thought I'd drop a note to let you know how popular Wolf3D is 42 here at Microsoft. It seems like I can't walk down a hall without hearing 43 'Mein Leben' from someone's office. I hope you guys are getting revenue 44 from all this. 45 46 Anyway, we were sitting around talking the other day, discussing games for 47 Windows, and someone said 'What are those cool guys at Id doing?'. So how 48 about it. Are you guys looking at Win games at all? Win32? 49 50 In a perfect world, I'd have you guys port the Wolf engine to a multiuser 51 maze game for Windows for Workgroups. We need a good M'user Win game. 52 53 Anyway some thoughts. 54 55 Ty Graham (Microsoft) 56
