How to Play
EPISODE ONE: ESCAPE FROM WOLFENSTEIN
A single kick to his knee sends him to the floor. Giving him your version of the victory sign, you grab his knife and quickly finish the job. You stand over the guard's fallen body, grabbing frantically for his gun. You're not sure if the other guards heard his muffled scream.
Deep in the belly of a Nazi dungeon, you must escape. This desperate act has sealed your fate - get out or die trying.

Items & Weapons
Dinners
Dinners provide 10% Health. You should pick up some food-to-go after clearing your Nazi hosts from the dinner table.
First Aid
First Aid provides 25% Health. The Nazis have been intercepting Red Cross packages and storing them throughout their strongholds.
Ammo
Ammo provides 5 bullets. Gracious even in death, guards will leave their unused ammo for the taking.
Machine Gun
This machine gun is the primary armament of the SS guards. It's an efficient and powerful weapon that is useful for attacking multiple enemies.
Chaingun
The Chaingun uses the gatling gun principle of rotating barrels. It's a destructive killing machine that will clear the room, but it has a healthy appetite for ammunition.
Other Weapons
There are several other weapons you may find in your travels, but their details are withheld as surprises.
Treasure
Hitler's ill-gotten booty is stored within the walls of his impenetrable fortresses. Collect 50 treasures to receive an extra life.
Enemies & Characters
Adolf Hitler
The essence of evil, he's got a few surprises for you.
Tips & Maps
Necessary Items Aren't Hidden
The Nazis may be rude hosts, but they would never hide anything necessary to escaping, so keys and elevators can be reached through the normal passages.
Don't Be Too Proud To Eat With The Dogs!
After taking many bullets, it's a wise idea to get help from anywhere by eating dog food, which will provide a small boost to your health.
Conserve Your Ammo
Although it's fun to hold down the A button and spit bullets everywhere, you should try to restrain yourself and make your shots count.
Don't Attack With A Knife
If armed only with a knife, don't rush into a room full of guards, but instead spend your time looking for a hidden room which may provide more ammo.
Do More Damage At Close Range
The closer you are to an enemy, the more damage he takes with each shot, but be careful as Nazi guards have a way of appearing behind you with a point-blank shot.
