As far as i can see, this is all done without the canvas tag or webGL, just lots of divs and CSS. Impressive :) For those who just want to play directly: http://wolfenstein.bethsoft.com/game/wolf3d.html

Yeah, pretty slow because of that (at least on my computer). Definitely not an html5 showcase, but impressive that they were able to pull it off without canvas.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well, it is banned in Germany anyways. ;) You can rebind the keys in the options.

No, its not banned. Since April 2012. Bethesda is working hard to get all of IDs IP approved again. Doom, Doom 2 and Quake are also not banned anymore. http://www.areagames.de/artikel/detail/Indizierungen-im-Apri... (link in german, obviously :) )

The site IS banning german users. I see a fat warning info screen instead of the game.

Wolfenstein 3D is banned. It is just not "indiziert" anymore. It is never going to be unbanned because of the unconstitutional stuff (swastikas, HorstWessel Song etc).

Your link is about a different game by the way.
