There's......a work in progress version of Wolfenstein 3D for the Atari ST right now, it's very playable.
It cheats a bit, all the graphics are stored Planar, rather than using Chunky-to-planar conversion, and there's a lot of pre-calc tables, but it runs full screen at about 15FPS on a stock 8MHz ST, without a BLiTTER, with the same speed and detail you'd see on a 486.
I used to be a tiny bit involved with it (I contributes a few routines that I can't remember now). Just goes to show what you can do when you've got a few decades to think about solving a problem!

Linkage?Go to 1:48 on this Speccy demo. This is in 48K and pretty good:

But demo coders are all up there own arses. All these '8-bit Wolfenstein' demos go nowhere as they get the scenery engine going and then fail doing objects.

Works fine on emulators. Grab a copy of STEeM and a TOS ROM and have fun.
