Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Timegate

An expansion pack addon for "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" of 12 levels, single player mode. Created by Eugene "Priv" Basharenko, Sergei "BBald" Sleptsov, Dmitry "Vondur" Svetlichniy (Russia). Originally released for the PC only, this addon has been repackaged by MikeTomTom for playing on PPC Macintosh, Mac OS 9.1 to 10.4.11.

Archived as a Disk Copy 6.3 ".img" and enclosed in a MacBinary ".bin" wrapper for upload, created with Stuffit 5.5 (use same or newer Expander to extract).

The premise or objectives for this addon are, briefly:

You are an archaeological professor on a dig, in present day Germany. You find an artifact that is booby-trapped and it entombs you alive in a catacomb hidden deep underground. You need to survive attacks from mummies and undead warriors and find your way back out. At last, you destroy the boss demon and discover the Timegate, your means of escape. However the timegate transports you back in time to WWII Germany, where you learn that nazi scientists also have in their possession a 2nd timegate which they intend to use to travel into the future. Your mission is to track down this timegate and destroy it before the nazis can make use of it. But you also need to use this timegate, to get back to your own time. Simple, no? No. Many challenges await you.

The authors of Timegate have created a game that leaves no-holds-barred, from mummies and un-dead warriors to elite guards, "lopers" and super soldiers. The modeling, especially of the vast expanses of the catacombs are sophisticated and awe-inspiring. As a 3rd party addon to a commercial release, I think it is unsurpassed. Brilliantly clever and action packed, extending the single player mode of RtCW by a further 12 unsparing episodes.
