In celebration of the recent 20th anniversary of the classic Wolfenstein 3D first person shooter from id Software, Bethesda has revealed some new content related to the game. The celebratory goodies include a Wolfenstein 3D director's commentary video from John Carmack, Wolfenstein 3D Classic Platinum available free for iOS devices for a limited time, and a free browser based version of the shooter.

This past Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of id Software’s legendary FPS game, Wolfenstein 3D. To commemorate the occasion, we’ve got a few treats so you can “Get Psyched!”.

At wolfenstein.bethsoft.com, you can relive all the glory of id’s seminal shooter with a free-to-play browser version of the game. And for limited time, iOS users can download Wolfenstein 3D Classic Platinum for free on iTunes.

For a retrospective on the game, Nick and I recently sat down with John Carmack for a director’s commentary track. Watch the video above, as he discusses his memories of the game while playing the original DOS release.

I can also recommend the free Aemula Oldies app, which emulates the full original Wolfenstein 3D and supports iCade.

If only it had the extra guns, non-corny voices, AWESOME music, and higher quality SFX from the Mac version.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.
