Wolfenstein 3D/YMMV
- Adaptation Displacement: few people are familiar with the original Castle Wolfenstein.
- Demonic Spiders: The mutants, especially in groups of three or more. Mutants do not make a noise when they see you. They can also shoot you as soon as they see you. Every other enemy in the game will make a noise when they see you and take a brief pause before shooting you.
- Ear Worm: The whole soundtrack is really catchy.
- Genius Bonus: One of the soundtracks in Episodes 3 and 6 has a Morse Code message in the background:
TO: BIG BAD WOLF |
- Goddamned Bats: Literally, in the Lost Episodes of Spear of Destiny. However, as they are pretty much just remodeled mutants, they behave more like Demonic Spiders.
- Porting Disaster:
- The SNES port. The disdain that the majority seem to have for it is due to censoring, instead of any major gameplay-affecting factors such as simplified map design or fewer levels, anyway.
- The GBA port, which was more mangled than the Doom port despite being a less complex game.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny: A common complaint of newer reviews (specially the GBA, which had the problems listed above).
- That One Boss: The Death Knight in Spear of Destiny. It doesn't help that he's surrounded by absolute swarms of regular mooks either.
- That One Level: Episode 6, level 9 from the original game and levels 16 and 18 from Spear of Destiny qualify.
- Episode 6, level 7 has a bad reputation as well.
