Unfortunately, the music was cut out completely. All the familiar gunshots, treasure pickup sounds, and pidgin German screams are reproduced faithfully. The sound effects are straight from the game, although slightly tinnier due to the inferior GBA sound hardware. However, the dim GBA screen is disastrous for a game like Wolfenstein, making it difficult to see enemies and objects, especially while being fired upon. Surprisingly, the status bar is translated quite well. The game looks just like the original, only lower-res, with the menu fonts cut down for the smaller screen.

Now Bam Entertainment has released a GBA port of the game, just like the original, only it's not any fun at all. It was rather crude, with a tile-based map structure, no floor and ceiling textures or lighting, and no multiplayer. During your quest to escape, derail some experimental Nazi projects, and kill various leaders of the Third Reich, you wandered through sixty levels, collected treasure, and gunned down lots and lots of Nazi soldiers. Wolfenstein was a fast-paced, rather simplistic game by Id Software (makers of the prolific Doom and Quake series) that put you in the role of William Joseph 'B.J.' Blazkowicz, an Allied spy captured by the Nazis during World War II.
