'''''Wolfenstein''''' is a first-person shooter [[video game]] developed by [[iD Software]].
'''''Virtua Fighter''''' is a fighting [[video game]] developed and published by [[Sega]] for the [[arcade]] market in 1993. It was revised as ''Virtua Fighter Remix'' in 1995.


==Versions==
''Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary'' was released on [[PlayStation 2]] in 2003. It included ''Virtua Fighter'' graphics with characters from ''[[Virtua Fighter 4|Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution]]''.
It was originally published as [[shareware]] for [[DOS]] in [[1992]]. The first ten levels were released as a free-to-distribute episode. Sixty levels, including the ten from the shareware release, could be purchased in two sets with three episodes each.


Twenty-one additional episodes that served as a prequel to ''Wolfenstein 3D'' were released in a stand-alone release for DOS in 1992. This release was titled ''Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny''.
[[Alternate Worlds Technology]] released a head-mounted [[virtual reality]] version of ''Wolfenstein 3D'' as a coin-operated [[arcade]] game in [[1993]].
The sixty levels from the DOS version were ported to the [[PC-98 series|PC-9801]] in [[1994]].
A 1994 [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] version contained thirty levels that were remixed compared to the DOS version. It was commissioned by [[Imagineer]] with an advance of $100,000 USD. Due to the policies of [[Nintendo]] in the United States, the game needed to be censored. Nazi imagery, German voice clips, and blood were removed, and the dogs were changed to giant rats.
The 1994 [[Atari]] [[Jaguar]] version contained the levels from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version as it was developed based on the source code from that release. However, the censored changes required by Nintendo were restored for the Atari Jaguar version.
The 1994 [[Mac OS]] port was also available in three releases, which together contained all of the levels released at the time. The free-to-distribute shareware release, with three levels, was released as ''Wolfenstein 3D: The First Encounter''. The thirty levels from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System were released as ''Wolfenstein 3D: The Second Encounter''. ''Wolfenstein 3D: The Third Encounter'' contained the sixty levels from the DOS version.
The sixty DOS levels were also ported to the [[Acorn Archimedes]] in 1994.
In [[August]] [[1995]] id Software uploaded the source code for the game to [[CompuServe]]. The visual and audio elements as well as the level design remained commercial.
The 1995 [[3DO]] version contained all of the levels from the DOS version as well as all of the levels from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System release.
The demo version of the [[Apple II|Apple IIgs]] version, with three levels, was released in [[1996]]. The full version was released for free with all of the levels from the Mac OS release in [[1998]]. ''The Second Encounter'' from the Mac OS version was renamed ''The Original Encounter''.
The sixty DOS levels were ported to the [[Game Boy Advance]] in [[2002]].
The [[2007]] [[Linux]] version contained the sixty DOS levels as well as the twenty-one levels from the ''Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny'' expansion pack.
The [[2009]] [[iOS]] version included the sixty levels from the DOS version.
The 2009 [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation 3]], and [[Windows]] versions contained all 60 DOS levels as well as those from the ''Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny'' expansion pack.
