During the Falklands war, the British Newspapers bragged of an impending operation to take back a territory in the islands. Completely ruining any element of surprise. However luckily for the British Army, the Argentine Army took it as a bluff and didn't reinforce the target, however the defending garrison was fully alerted to any impending attack.

  • This video shows the floppy disk version of the game. I personally recommend playing the CD-ROM version as it features higher quality sounds and speech samples, full voice acting in all cutscenes, and additional levels. The extra levels don't come with any new storyline, however, so you needn't worry having missed any essential developments regarding the plot. To fix the lack of strafing, I also recommend downloading Cheater's "The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki DeHacker v1.1" tool which enables strafing, higher mouse sensitivity, and limited key remapping. This should address a majority of your control concerns and provide a much smoother gameplay experience.

  • I might be wrong here, but the fisheye effect demonstrated at 17:52 looks like it's because the game is determining the height of the walls by taking the distance between the player and the wall, and since the distance isn't constant (walls to either side are farther away than walls directly in front), walls seem to bulge out towards the center of view. Wolfenstein 3D fixed this by taking the distance projected to a camera plane perpendicular to the view direction; basically, measure the player-to-wall distance if you strafed along the wall, and use that to figure out how to render the walls. Fabien Sanglard's Game Engine Black Book describes how this is done in Chapter 4.

  • The reverse-fisheye effect and dodgy texture mapping are actually things I battled with while writing my own line-based raycaster, it requires a bit of explanation: The way a raycast renderer works is that it fires a ray for each column of the screen, over the FOV in increments of `FOV / screen_width`, using the distance traveled before hitting a wall as the source of the height of the column of pixels on the screen. The problem, is that firing all these rays from a single point directly at a flat surface will produce a curve, where the rays firing off at an angle will produce a higher distance value than the ones towards the middle, this can be corrected after the fact by adjusting the distance value with an equation I can't remember that makes it as if all the rays were fired from points on a line rather than all from a single point. I don't remember what the problem with the texture mapping is, I just know that I fixed it in my renderer by playing about with it until it worked. It really didn't take that much effort.
