Apogee versions of the game will have a "Read This!" option that isn't present in non-Apogee versions.Apogee versions of the registered game have an extra screen on startup warning that the game is not shareware.With sharewares, in version 1.4 they are both finally fixed. Meanwhile, Registered 1.1 has already fixed both. Same conditions apply to Shareware version 1.2. (You still get 100% secrets though.) Shareware version 1.1 has the one in Floor 7 fixed. Version 1.0 has one wall in Floor 7 and one wall in Floor 8 not marked as a secret wall in Episode 1.Between Shareware and Registered versions: Elevator sound and death sound of dogs feature different sounds.Also "c" has been changed to "© COPYRIGHT". Version 1.4 has a different background on the start screen.In version 1.4, the music at booting the game up won't start until you've pressed a button to advance from the first screen.This bug is not present on Shareware 1.1 due to a workaround.
The machine gun firing sprites, on the other hand, were not changed until the registered 1.1 and shareware 1.2: it still shows the player without the gray sleeves in shareware 1.1, despite the other two weapons already having been changed by this point. Like the knife, the pistol sprites were also updated to have gray sleeves in 1.1. Shareware 1.1 has changed the shirt color for the knife swinging animation to gray.
In version 1.0, the player's shirt appears tan when using the knife, the pistol or the SS machine gun. Rivets were missing on the elevator textures in Version 1.0. It's slimmed down significantly in later versions. The base of the chandelier is much larger in Version 1.0. The top of the table has its shading vertically flipped (roughly), and the lit side of the bottom of the table has a shading change to boot.Īgain, the shading is flipped vertically, but no other changes. In 1.0, "LEVEL" is used on the HUD instead of "FLOOR".

Version 1.4 was first released with cheat codes, then they were taken out in a second release, then put back in for a third release. Some releases of version 1.4 lack the ability to use cheat codes. Known releases of Wolfenstein 3D from version 1.1 to 1.4 include: As explained below, there are other ways to determine which version is actually present. Please also note that BOTH versions 1.1 and 1.2 of either the shareware or registered version will display "V1.1" in the bottom right-hand corner of the startup screen.
