Easter Eggs, Secret Levels

I was playing a total conversion named "The False Spear" and made it to level 7. In one of the cells was a B.J. Blazkowics doppelganger. He was laying down holding the spear and a gun just like at the end of "The Spear of Destiny." This Easter Egg made me wonder. What are the oddest, funniest, or most interesting Easter Eggs that you have found in a mod, add-on, or total conversion for Wolfenstein 3D or The Spear of Destiny? Besides the Pac-Man level of Episode 3 level 10, or the Pac-Man level of Spear Resurrection, what are your favorite secret levels?

I always liked the secret in End of Destiny (I think) where there were the Snowmen enemies. Good times there.

Although not technically secret levels, I like the end levels of Spear of Destiny, Spear Resurrection, and Spear End of Destiny. I like the surprise endings.

I've beaten that level. If you like Christmas or Frosty The Snowman, then try these levels:

Another End of Destiny Christmas Level: http://www.areyep.com/RIPandMCS-OldNews.html No extra files needed. The end of the level is the surprise. :rendeer:

Edit on May 25th: I've found out that Hotel Romanstein 6 has a Christmas theme:

There are other secret levels that I'll mention. In level 15 of Doom 2, you somehow can go to the secret level. Secret level 1 is episode 1 level 1 of Wolfenstein with midget Germans and extra secret passages. Secret level 2 is the Hans Grosse level. Hans Grosse is replaced with the cyberdemon and 4 Commander Keens. The Commander Keens can't hurt you.

The logos for Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and id are in GAMEMAPS.C for Episode 3 Level 10 of Wolfmaster from Wolfenstein Super Upgrades. I wasn't expecting that on a secret level.
As for a Wolfenstein Super Upgrade Easter egg, map 4 on GAMEMAPS.H has a cartoon animal saying, IF YOU SEE THIS, YOU ARE CHEATING!

In the original Wolf 3D, I count the Pac-Man ghost guarding 2 1ups in episode 6 level 10 as an Easter egg.

We bought Wolfenstein version 1.4G from Apogee in 1993. I found the "CALL APOGEE SAY AARDWOLF" Easter egg sign also in 1993. So we called Apogee and we were told that it's for a canceled contest. It was right before I bought the hint book, so I wouldn't have known that.

Besides me, how many of you have found the Aardwolf sign?

I found that sign. that sign is why I named the wolf3d team I've got what it is. of course when I found it my brother had downloaded the full version of wolf3d.

There's a long story behind that aardwolf sign. A tricky one to find indeed.

I remember playing west wall, and using no clipping cheat. I opened a door and inside was a sign saying something like, you are cheating.

There's a hard to find hidden section in one of the secret levels in 'Escape from Castle Holle' that has some weird funny stuff in it. I wonder if anyone has found it yet?

There's a morse code message for B.J. Blazkowicz hidden in music in Episode 3 of the original Wolfenstein:
TO BIG BAD WOLF
DE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
ELIMINATE HITLER
IMPERATIVE
COMPLETE MISSION WITHIN 24 HOURS
OUT
Note: DE is radio speak for From.

In episode 1 level 1 of a Wolfmaster game from Wolfenstein Super Upgrades, a room has 9 1ups. The 4 Pac-Man ghosts are behind a column in that room.

In WolfCollection, you get to go outside of the buildings on one of the levels. The level must have a border made of invisible walls that you can't walk through.

Sensenmann is the most disturbing Wolfenstein add-on. I think that it's episode 5 where you get to run over Germans and monsters with your motorcycle. I don't know if you want to count that as an Easter egg since you start out the level that way. On a personal note, I think that the programmer took the macabre a little too far and that younger kids might have nightmares after playing this add-on. If I had kids, then I wouldn't let them play this add-on.

I've heard of your Team Aardwolf from the forums. I don't know much about it.

Do tell. Please elaborate.

There's an homage to one of the old school Wolfers in there by having a couple of things of his that was hidden in one of his mods in the room as well as some father funny redited versions of Schabbs and BJ.
I'd be happy for someone to report it if they find it but I'll leave it as a surprise for those that want to look.

Click right here for it:
https://wolf3d.darkbb.com/dome-news-f2/apogee-sign-contest-walkthrough-package-t798.htm It's not as tricky to find anymore.

I just remembered some things. There's a secret level of Spear Resurrection with Pac-Man ghosts and grim reapers. I understand that episode 3 of WolfenDoom has a secret level with the grim reaper, but I haven't been to that level yet.

I've found 2 hidden characters. I believe it was Mario's Castle episode 2, level 2. The first hidden character is easy to find on the level. The man in the elevator is a lot like the Death Knight from Spear of Destiny. However, if you shoot at him enough he will be a hidden character that falls out of his armor. I'll save his identity as a surprise for those who want to find him. No, he isn't Mario or Luigi.

Download the Voxelstein 3D demo from http://www.fileplanet.com/185931/180000/fileinfo/Voxelstein-3D-v0.101-Demo . Look at the readme file for playing directions. You can find the dopefish Easter egg in the bathroom on the first level before even leaving the house. I'm not even able to make it past the first level.

In case you haven't heard of the dopefish yet: http://www.dopefish.com/fishinfo.html .

I think that Voxelstein 3D must be so brand new that maybe you haven't even heard of it yet. On a personal note, I think it's inappropriate that Voxelstein 3D put in a poster of somebody who is think is Dylan Klebold, or puts the Bush poster next to the Hitler poster.

I didn't know that there are people who haven't heard of the legendary dopefish (:

Rotten news. I played it a few months ago. The 'easter eggs' are rather easy to find. There is even a thread on this forum.You may click here

I didn't know that you had played it a few months ago. The game is new to me. Maybe fileplanet didn't put Voxelstein on its web site until recently; I don't know.

No problemo. I just wondered because you missed the thread about Voxelstein a few days ago.

I had forgotten to mention that this web page includes a Wolfenstein 3D mod with the dopefish on the secret level of episode 1. You need a lot of ammo to kill him.

On Wikipedia, they list a few details that I didn't know about for the Apogee Sign Contest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein_3D#Aborted_contest_attempts They also have some details about the abandoned contest with the code that you are given for your highest score.

Regarding easter eggs, I've also used that in all of my new mods. I don't know if you've found any, but they include something really bizarre.

Thomas, please name your mods here so that we can begin looking for the Easter eggs. I don't know what bizarre thing that you're talking about, but there are some bizarre things here: https://wolf3d.darkbb.com/off-topic-f14/what-are-the-funniest-computer-or-video-games-t884.htm

He's talking about the following, I suspect;
- The Bitter End
- All this and Wolf 3D
- Castle Assault

I already have "All This and Wolf 3D" and I have at least made it to level 10. It has 70 levels, so once I tried to see if it would open up in ChaoEditor and it didn't work right. Please tell us which level has the Easter egg or passage to the secret level so that I can look for it.

You can't open it up in any editor, it's specifically designed to be that way.

It's not my mod so unless Thomas lists them i'm not prepared to do so in case he may not want them released.

Get the spear in The Spear of Destiny Episode 3. You will then go to a Doom level with "UAC" boxes, computer screens in the walls, slimy smoke, and a boss. That's a secret theme that I didn't know about because I hadn't played episodes 2 and 3 before.

Play levels 1, 3, and 4 of Mazestein 3D. The Easter egg is that an evil twin of familiar character appears. He has a lot of health and firepower. Do some dodging of bullets to defeat him to get the key.

Level 69 of "All This And Wolf 3D" has a lot of craziness and Easter eggs.

I Did not know SOD had Easter eggs? Then why aren't the sprites in the editor? [ VSWAP ]

About the False Spear... BJ dobbelganger was only one of the few easter eggs in the games...
I also made homage for Monty Python, AreyeP and few other wolfers (good luck finding them all).

I included a dancing banana in a secret map in 'Castle Assault'...

There's a FilePlanet Easter Egg Contest right now. 10 people will win paid subscriptions to Fileplanet. Details are here: https://wolf3d.darkbb.com/help-desk-f15/fileplanet-easter-egg-contest-this-weekend-t1211.htm

This is obviously SUCH old news, but yes, there are a few aardwolf signs scattered around Wolf3d Haven. The most difficult to find sign is on level 8 of episode 1. I wonder if the maze is more difficult than the original aardwolf maze?

Dark_wizzie wrote:I wonder if the maze is more difficult than the original aardwolf maze?

I think that is impossible to do. I remember doing that maze when Operation: Eisenfaust came out. Me and my friend came upon the Aardwolf sign and called Apogee. Sadly, we found out the contest never actually took place because info on the Aardwolf sign came out early. So sad.

Also, my new mod I'm releasing very shortly- Operation: End Epidemic, has an easter egg somewhere within the game. Not gonna say exactly where, you will just have to find out. I may run a contest through a thread on this site for the first one who finds the easter egg. Any ideas as to what you want to win???

It's Wolf3D Haven Mapset. You've forgotten to mention that they are altered Aardwolf signs with a different message! I've altered them. Some month, I want to take screenshots of all the Aardwolf signs in the mod and post them.

Someplace on The Diehard Wolfer's Bunker web site, you can find an altered Aardwolf sign that says, "Call Apogee, say thanks."

Haha, "Call Apogee say thanks". Anyways, yes, I put "around Wolf3d Haven" I meat the Wolf3d Haven mapset. Are you going to find that sign on episode 1 level 8 without no clipping cheats?

Dark_wizzie wrote:...Are you going to find that sign on episode 1 level 8 without no clipping cheats?

I don't know yet. If I only find all of the others and post screenshots of them, then maybe I might have you take a screenshot of it and email it to me. Then I'll post it on my web page.

Have whomever finds it take a screenshot of it and then email it to me at my address listed on Wolfensteingoodies.com. Then I'll post the screenshot and give credit to the person who discovered it.

If you're thinking an actual prize to mail to somebody, then what about Duke Nukem Forever https://wolf3d.darkbb.com/other-websites-f13/the-duke-nukem-forever-list-t1708.htm#13385 , Rage, the new Rise of The Triad that will be coming out, Doom 4, or Unreal Tournament 4!? Or maybe paid membership to fileplanet.com, a game download from steampowered.com, or a game download from gog.com!?

I like the idea of taking a screen shot and posting it on your website. However, you blood is too rich for me when it comes to a giveaway gift! I was thinking more along the lines of a free pizza!

Ah, you forgot the F12 key too. I looove those.

There’s a movie called Hop that’s going to be in theaters with the Easter Bunny. Tomorrow during NBC’s Thursday comedies, there’s a contest where you watch for the Easter eggs, and apparently log onto NBC.com for a contest with prizes.
