Wolfenstein 2 Tips - How to Find The Retro Easter Egg
Wolfenstein 3D in the Nazi Occupied America
In Wolfenstein: The New Order, there was a clever homage to the original Wolfenstein game that played out in one of Blazkowicz's dreams. It wasn't the easiest thing to find, but after interacting with B.J.'s bed, you would be transported to Wolfenstein's former pixelated greatness for a quick level. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has a similar easter egg, but with an odd and subtle twist to it.
To access the easter egg, head to the Evas Hammer and travel to the lounge above the Cantina. Next to the pool table, you'll see an old arcade cabinet. By interacting with it, you'll be able to play Wolfenstein 3D. While the game is largely the same as the original Wolfenstein 3D, the controls have been modernized for the two-stick control scheme, but have also been given a slightly different change to the game's setting and story. Instead of fighting against the Nazis, you'll be battling American and Russian soldiers while on the hunt for Terror-Billy, a reference to B.J.'s nickname.
In The New Colussus' depiction of Nazi America, they've made Wolfenstein 3D about the exploits of the Nazis in WWII. There are a number of subtle and more obvious alterations to the original, such as the change of the Nazi-death cry "Mein Leben!" to the American GI's "My Life!". You can even save your progress in multiple saves, and compete with the rest of the Hammer crew by trying to get the high score. The scores show that Max Hass is the resident wizard and has the current high score of 42000.
