The game was inspired by the 1980s Muse Software computer games Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein for the Apple II. According to id Software programmer John Carmack, the game's engine was inspired by a technology demo of Origin/Looking Glass's first-person CRPG, ' from 1991. It has been ported to many systems, including 3DO, SNES, and Gameboy Advance.
