Conversions remained a major theme of Laz's work throughout his Wolf 3D and Doom modding career, as over the years he brought over all of commercially released Wolf 3D material from PC to Mac, and also most of it from PC and Mac Wolfenstein into the Doom engine.Īs winter cool fell, relationship between Laz and WolfAddict grew very cold very fast, modder eventually breaking up with Bruce Ryder's enterprise and starting to market the creations on his own. More conversions followed in fall 1996, including one for a 10 level-long episode commercial Wolf 3D mission disk, Laz's own Treasure Hunt scenario and WolfAddict-created Aftermath ( demo version of the latter made available on idgames section of popular FTP server).

Laz did not stop with the demo, and - in his own words - painstakingly recreated full 30 levels of commercial Wolf 3D Mac version as a Doom II MegaWad (2 original levels of his own design complementing the pack), claiming this to also have been the first ever MegaWad created fully on a Mac computer. Thus WolfenDoom was born, the catch phrase being - ARE YOU A WOLFENSTEIN FAN WHO ALSO OWNS DOOM II?

Laz has made quite an innovation in summer of 1996 when he re-created the demo version of Wolf 3D for Mac (known by its subtitle as the First Encounter) as a Doom WAD. With many well received scenario packs of his own - both free and paid - and also a few ports of scenarios from the PC version of Wolf3D under his belt, Laz Rojas was the name of one such talented modder, his works published by WolfAddict - a known distribution group led by a person named Bruce Ryder.

Prolific modders created new levels, with stories and characters way beyond the conventional Word War 2 inspired setting - among them Doomenstein, a reimagining of later Doom from ID software as a set of Wolf 3D levels but with Imps and Demons - and publishing groups emerged that sought to market these mods in the commercial territory by providing free downloadable demos together with electronic catalogs for ordering full feature length versions. The title of the game was Wolfenstein 3D, and one very peculiar garden it blossomed in was Apple Mac. Roughly 30 years ago a computer game was made that awed the players upon its release, revolutionized the genre and inspired creative folks to produce hacks and new adventures for it for years to come. If you have anything to spare, anything really, I strongly encourage going to the gofundme page linked below:

I think, given all the great contributions he has given us over the years, the least we can do to repay the favor is help him in his hour of need and at least try to partially reverse a great injustice that we would not wish on our worst enemy, let alone on a talented, creative and tireless artist such as him. He has not made Doom mods in quite some time, but nonetheless, he does sometime visit the Doomworld forums and is, for lack of a better term, a recognized staple of the old Doom community. All the while he has lost virtually all of his belongings and is currently homeless. To use the words of Doomworld boards member he was wrongly accused of murdering his mother, and had to spend 10 months in jail during which he was subjected to physical and psychological abuse of all kinds, and only cleared after the autopsy report was finally made public and fully exonerated him. In February 2023 Laz has shared very sad news on his current condition, that were cited on sevaral Doom modding message boards.

But that's all these patch WADS do, partially create the Wolfenstein experience, and what the player is experiencing is still DOOM with a few changes. They've probably downloaded and played the few PC format DOOM WADS which add some of the Wolfenstein sprites to the game, creating a partial Wolfenstein experience. Still, Wolfenstein fans who've played Levels 31 and 32 of DOOM II have probably wondered once or twice what Wolfenstein would be like if it could be updated to the DOOM engine. But it still has managed to maintain a loyal following, especially on the Mac, because of its storyline and fever-pitch action, and it continues to enjoy its reputation as the grand-daddy of all 3D computer games. Such has been the progress in creating better and more realistic 3D environments in computer games over the last few years that today, Wolfenstein seems primitive and outdated by comparison. Since its release, many other 3D first-person shooters with improved engines have followed, including Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, and Unreal. As some of you undoubtedly know, Wolfenstein was the first widely successful 3D computer game ever released.
