THE WOLF THAT TIME FORGOT
🕑 Added 2024-01-18 15:07:38 +0000 UTCAfter a nice little vacation, I'm kicking off 2024 with the most de-listed Wolfenstein game ever made. You can find the tiny file for the 42-year-old Apple II Castle Wolfenstein games in the same category of abandonware as this 14-year-old Raven title. Back when Raven was keeping id Software IPs alive while id was busy working on RAGE for a daunting 7 years. And now that I think about it RAGE and Wolfenstein 2009 have a lot in common - a somewhat truncated "open world" connected to linear levels, really good guns, high production values...
...Wolf 2009 has more than one boss battle and upon reflection I think is a better game?! What am I saying?
Happy New Year,
-Civvie
P.S. I'm aware of the editing glitch around the second chapter title. We're going to ignore it and pretend it's a Patreon Exclusive Bug. See if you can spot it! Comment below and tell Katie, a fictional character, that she sucks!

Chop Goblins when Civvie?? (great vid as always, made my week when I saw notification pop up!)
Mateusz Bartoszek
Also, honestly I think this is one of your best episodes Civvie. Some of the best lines and sketches I've seen recently, really had a laugh when I needed that (that bit with blood on the screen instead of a health bar was golden). Cheers, keep it up Civvie!

I can’t imagine how I would tackle Disco Elysium and I’ve done three playthroughs of the game.
Mateusz Bartoszek
Civvie mentioning disco elysium made wish for a DE review on the show. Although I honestly have no idea how that would turn out. Great new sewer count too, the Department is clearly getting a better funding nowadays.
Krabbarazzi
Great video, Civvie and Katie! Also sorta forgot about this game, but felt quite nostalgic. Mentioning Disco Elysium in it makes me wonder, wil you do a review on that too?
Harry Amorós
Amazing review, I remember playing it back then and loving the hell out of it, though the "open world" sections kinda tired me. I still remember fondly that moment when I was sneaking and I threw a rock at the first nazi wizard interrupting their cultist stuff and laughing so much god i need to play this game again

I once got pinged for downloading fucking NOLF! Not worth it either. So..what do?
Dénes Hliva
Sure but you're still supporting credit card thieves and such
Civvie
It’s so sad I had to unlock that superior version by playing through the campaign first
Citizen Cain, PhD
Great review, Civvie. But I think you were playing with some sort of weird mod that gave them all human heads. You missed out on some really great headshot animations with this mod active, since in the default game headshots give you this really satisfying spray of orange.

Using sold keys isn't stealing if nobody is selling the damn game.

Whenever Civvie reviews an out-of-print game I check gg deals to see if there are any Steam keys floating around. I managed to get Prey (2006) and Manhattan Project for a few bucks this way. Anyway, there is a Steam gift of Wolf09 listed for €9999 (with fees more like 10500).
INSANITORIUM STUDIOS!
We thank you for your tireless service, Katie.

Even the smallest clip from The Thing makes me happy
Jaeger Elijah
Great shit, Civvie. Exactly what was needed while my water was out from these bullshit winter storms. Just got it back on, so I got to finish my day with a pipe and yer vid. Keep it smokey, Big Man.

Civvie reviewing the first Wolfenstein game I ever played and having good things to say about it is a treat! Love this game! Great work on the video Civvie!
Nachts
My new favorite, king shit Civvie quote: "Otherwise I yo ho ho it with a bottle of go fuck yourselves." The absolute pinnacle of online entertainment. And yes, I stopped the video to share the quote with others lol.
Hammerhead027
INB4 Katie (who sucks) turns out to be another robot that has a chunk of Civvie's brain. Anywho - hope you had a great vacation!
Ioannis Pelegrinis
I played the heck out of this when it came out, it was a rather refreshing break from all the WWII shooters at the time and mixed things up a bit with the supernatural powers. Always found Golden Dawn a bit funny, since there's a full-on neo-Nazi party with the same name in Greece.
Civvie
I almost did it, since one of Big John's lines is "GUTEN TAG, AHAHAHAHUGHH"
Steve Downes
Maybe Rage will come now, after mentioning it in Quake 2
Max Camp
Also, missed opportunity to highlight the Hans Grosse/Big John connection, seeing as the matter is a translation of the former
My Small Corner Of The Internet
Wait.....Katie isn't real? I feel so lied too.
Uncoolest_Evar
Wow what a coincidence I just started playing this game for the first time just the other day as a way to cristen my newly hacked 360. You're not spying on me are you Civvie? If you are does that mean Heavy Metal FAKK2 is coming next?
Chris Wigman
I really tried to get something out of this game. Raven are pros. They've made a bunch of genuinely classic, well-made games. But I stopped playing after a couple of hours. It isn't bad at all, but it's from THAT time in FPSs where mediocrity and corporatism had gutted creativity from the genre. If BJ wasn't so SLOOOOOOWWWW it would be better. Better than Rage, for sure. But still painful and kinda depressing coming after RTCW.
Civvie
I debated whether or not to keep it going and it felt like I should since I was cutting out some of the cutscene in order to comment. All in all, it's at least closer to the correct "find out" timing.
Bukkarooo
An editing glitch? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder, KATIE. Nah, I'm really excited for this one. What better way to start the new year than killing Nazis in a Wolfenstein game?
Olivia Waters
at around 47:07, interesting choice to keep advancing the 'fuck around and find out' timer while pausing the cutscene to comment upon it
Max Camp
Extremely weird synchronicity, as I was just buying a copy of this on eBay when I got the notification
Civvie
Always help out the cryptozoologist.
Dana NIchols
I'm glad to hear you played Disco Elysium, Boss Man.
Mario_bland
*Katie, a fictional character* YOU RUINED CHRISTMAS FOR ME CIVVIE. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SNARKY EVER SUFFERING LADY BEHIND ALL YOUR EDITS. Also Katie sucks.
Cam Kilgore
And I dread nothing will change for them under Microsoft. Hell they're probably marked for layoffs.
FURIOUS_MASTICATION
Hey Katie, you suck!
Civvie
I know! And the story about their live service COD Zombies thing coming out too after this video was basically done.
Amatiramisu
Man, cut back to literally yesterday morning when Raven had to push out a Warzone update that completely broke the game apparently. I get this pit in my stomach when I think about what happened to them.
Timo Juhala
...but I like Katie. 😕
Dénes Hliva
Dont tell me to be hard on Katie! Who are you, my dad?
Suckerpunch5000
Impeccable timing as always Civvie 👌
Chozo Ghost
This is going to make me wish I could download Wolf 2009 even more than I already wanted to, isn't it?
Dénes Hliva
Also, you misspelled it in the description. Its 'Raven was keep*ing* ID Software IPs alive'
Korcks
Katie is not fictional and I will not be convinced otherwise. 😜
Dénes Hliva
Oooh, i've been waiting for this one for a while! Thank you Civvie!
Will Provine
HE HATH RETURNED

We can allow Katie to screw up from time to time. Go for it Katie.
