Well met Salem,

 The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom caught salem writing:
: How could you compare UW with Wolf3d? If all you see when you look at UW 
: is a 1st pov game, you're missing the point...

agreed.  UW is a much more realistic game than Wolf3D, which was just 
mindless arcade nonsense, one that gives thee a bout of nausea :}  But I 
do enjoy playing such rubbish once in a while... although I had to limit 
myself to 1 level or 1 hour of Wolf3D per day, whichever was the shorter, or 
said nausea would set in :-}   I could play UW for hours on end without 
getting bored..

But what was innovative about both engines was the 360 degree pov, which 
was never before done - previous 1st POV RPGs like Dungeon Master, the 
AD&D Legends series, Wizardry, and Might & Magic only had 90 degree 
scrolling.  I don't recall ever seeing an arcade game with such a view.  
Origin beat Id to releasing such an perspective, and then some :)

: >: 	Which is older?  UW1 or Wolf-3d?  If the answer is the latter, then
: >: that is where the crown of the 1st VR-type game should go to.  I am not talking
: >UW was released first... but Wolf3D came out close behind, so both 
: >companies could have been developing the concept independently....
