Spear of Destiny also had an Ouch Face and the face has golden eyes in god mode.

The status bar face is very similar to the one in Wolfenstein, including a grin face when the player picks up the chaingun.

The supercharge power-up in Doom resembles the extra lives in Wolfenstein.

Early versions of Doom included displays for score and lives, and the selected weapon was also illustrated in the bar. The status bar has the same style, including displays for health, ammo and keys.Doom II was released in a very similar way. The second Wolfenstein game, Spear of Destiny, includes 19 new levels and two secret levels in a single campaign, and the episode select screen was removed.However, later episodes of Doom include more powerful weapons and enemies, and the bosses are much more powerful than any enemy. This resembles Wolfenstein's gameplay style. The first episode of Doom contains only a couple of weak opponents, and in the end there is a boss that is supreme in comparison with them.Both shareware versions include only the first episode.

Both games have a boss at the end of each episode. Doom had three episodes originally, with eight levels and a secret level each, and an expansion pack with a new episode was also released. Later on, the expansion pack 'The Nocturnal Missions' with three new episodes was added. Initially, Wolfenstein had three episodes, each with nine levels and a secret level.

The style of game divided in episodes is very similar to Wolfenstein.

Although Doom and its successors quickly superseded Wolfenstein on a technical level to become an equally important milestone in the development of the first-person shooter, Wolfenstein still enjoys a substantial following on the Internet, including websites, user-created maps, and even totally new games based on the source code, which was released on July 21, 1995. It is especially noteworthy for having directly led to the development and publication of Doom just a year after its release. The WAD format used in Doom was intended to resolve these problems: identifying resources by lump names allow to simplify the engine considerably by not having to maintain different index lists for different versions, which also allows to have the same executable running all versions of all Doom IWADs, and it also makes modding much easier by allowing to put all data in a single file whose content can override that from the main game file without having to replace it.ДЄt the time of its release, Wolfenstein 3D was seen as a revolutionary new product, and is regarded by many to be the grandfather of all FPS games, as it popularized the genre tremendously.

Playing a mod involves replacing the relevant data files by the modded ones.Дespite these hurdles, a Wolfenstein modding scene emerged fairly quickly, and because of them many mods had to be essentially stand-alone games that did not require the player to actually own the games before they can play them, a practice to which id Software naturally objected. This design has two consequences: it is not possible to replace only one part of the resources from one data file, all the other resources need to be included as well and in addition each version of the game needs its own executable. Each data blob is referenced in the executable by its hardcoded index position, rather than by a lump name and since different versions of the game have different amounts of game data, the offsets change for each version.

The file names are hardcoded, but the extension varies depending on the game - WL1 for the shareware, Wе…ѓ for the registered game, WL6 for the full game with the added 'nocturnal missions', SDM for the Spear of Destiny demo, and SOD for the full Spear of Destiny game. The game data is spread across four files ( AUDIOT, GAMEMAPS, VGAGRAPH, and VSWAP) with four additional files ( AUDIOHED, VGADICT, VGAHEAD, and MAPHEAD) containing metadata such as offset positions, size, and compression dictionary allowing to actually retrieve the game data.

Like the Doom engine, the Wolfenstein 3D engine was also used for several other games Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, Blake Stone: Planet Strike, Corridor 7: Alien Invasion, Operation Bodycount, and Super 3D Noah's Ark, which enhance the engine with numerous features, some similar to those id Software added to Doom such as textured planes, distance shading, teleporters and switches.

Much of the source code for Wolfenstein 3D was later reused in Apogee's Rise of the Triad, released in 1995. While walls are textured, horizontal planes forming the floor and ceiling are shaded with flat colors. The engine is a fairly simple textbook raycaster, using maps composed of tiles, which only allow 90-degree angles between walls.
