According to the story, Hitler has stolen the legendary "Spear of Destiny" in order to add power to the Nazi regime. You have to break into the Nazi fortress and bust them up a bit to get the spear back in order to prevent them from becoming unstoppable.

==Music==
 
 
The music is very similar in style to that of [[Wolfenstein 3D (DOS)]], in fact, much of it is carried over from the the first game. The new music was composed by the same artist, [[Bobby Prince]], and it follows the same foreboding vein as the previous game.

The music was composed in [[Sequencer Plus Gold]], and then Prince had to downgrade his music to sound proper on the [[OPL2]]. Prince never kept any of his original tracks, but he has since remade a couple of the songs to sound like how he originally intended. These remakes can be found in the rip.

The last two songs, however, are PCM encoded fanfares (originally stored in [[VOC]] files), given in two variants - the first is original game, the second is from FormGen Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge games. We assume that the Spear of Destiny fanfares were also composed by [[Bobby Prince]] (or [[Tom Hall]] with [[John Romero]], because they were responsible for voice actions and some other sounds), but that's improbable for FormGen games.

Spear of Destiny
Spear of Destiny - DOS - USA.jpg
Platform: DOS
Year: 1992
Developer: id Software
Buy: Amazon

Spear of Destiny is a prequel of Wolfenstein and was marketed as a Wolfenstein Adventure. The game used the same 3D engine and many of the same graphics and music as its predecessor, but added a small amount of new art and music. However, the additions are quite small, and it mostly feels like an add-on rather than a whole new game.

According to the story, Hitler has stolen the legendary "Spear of Destiny" in order to add power to the Nazi regime. You have to break into the Nazi fortress and bust them up a bit to get the spear back in order to prevent them from becoming unstoppable.

Music

VGMPF Album Art       Icon-Help.png

Spear of Destiny - DOS - Album Art.jpg

The music is very similar in style to that of Wolfenstein 3D (DOS), in fact, much of it is carried over from the the first game. The new music was composed by the same artist, Bobby Prince, and it follows the same foreboding vein as the previous game.

The music was composed in Sequencer Plus Gold, and then Prince had to downgrade his music to sound proper on the OPL2. Prince never kept any of his original tracks, but he has since remade a couple of the songs to sound like how he originally intended. These remakes can be found in the rip.

The last two songs, however, are PCM encoded fanfares (originally stored in VOC files), given in two variants - the first is original game, the second is from FormGen Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge games. We assume that the Spear of Destiny fanfares were also composed by Bobby Prince (or Tom Hall with John Romero, because they were responsible for voice actions and some other sounds), but that's improbable for FormGen games.
