Bzzzzt!  The objective is to find and rescue the POW who is somewhere in the
castle.  Of course, once you find him, he just follows you around and generally
gets in your way...

My #1 gripe about Wolfenstein 3D and Eagle's Nest:  No REG!  I don't WANT to
memorize patterns and maps and where every enemy is - I want them popping out
where I least expect them and generally being unpredictable.
