Am I the only one that can't find the keyboard commands?
Touche
I couldn't figure it out either.

Press space to start playing, WASD to move around. I had a really hard time playing it though, crashed a lot and didn't always let me walk in every direction. Gave up after 3 minutes.

30-some years later and I can't remember the controls either.

This is cool, too bad it crashes so much. Once this is better I think there is a lot of cool software they can put up.

The key bindings for movement are:

Left = a

Right = d

Up = w

Down = x

Stop = s

I've been unable to figure out how to fire weapon.

The Enter key gives ammo summary.

The controls are based around using dual joysticks. With a keyboard there are 8 directions of motion centered around the S key, and 8 directions of pointing your gun centered around the L key. Pressing L fires the gun.

Check out the docs that liebfraumilch linked to in another reply: http://www.oldskool.org/pc/BCW/BeyondCastleWolfenstein.txt

For some reason the ; key doesn't work to point the gun right.

Also you gotta have sound -- the whole point of Wolfenstein is the screaming in German. You'd think after 15 years web standards would ... never mind.

20 years ago I was playing Castle Wolfenstein 3D on a 486 DX2 66, and the game was not like this one at all.

Back then the thought of playing over a wide area network was unthinkable, now it's expected... Amazing how far things have come since then.
