You have a good point there.  On the other hand, this may be what is so 
appealing about this game.  Many games and simulations that I've played
are too "heavy."  Sometimes after a hard day of classes or work, I don't
want to "work" in order to play.  Wolf 3D allows me to run around the halls
and waste some Nazis - that's fun.
