End of a Superpower

Title screen. Its size caused the opening screens to glitch

End of a Superpower is a mod for registered Wolfenstein, was made by YH. It was released on March 17, 2001.

## Description

The mod was based on Luke Strauman's Operation: Buzz Bomb. Featuring 7 levels, much of the gameplay is interrupted as it relies too heavy on many sprites and not enough walls, causing many objects to become invisible. It also features a lot of open spaces.

## Storyline

*Year, 2100*

*The US is gone. All that is left is China, Russia, and England to preserve peace. About a year ago, a massive attack by the NNF [Neo-Nazi Faction] destroyed Washington D.C. All Americans fled China or Russia. The NNF took over the German government in the year 2060. They crushed all opposition. The ruins of the United States of America lay there. The US had overestimated the NNF. The NNF was responsible for cryogenically freezing Hitler and the Grosse klan. Now they have ressurected them. It is estimated that their army has over 50000 men in a division. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE NNF MUST BE TERMINATED. But this won't be easy. The NNF have discovered the ruins of a US base that the NNF had attacked and abandoned by the US Army. This Base is built on a network of terraces. You must find your way through. There are switches on each battlefield you go through and you MUST turn them off by pushing the switch up. This will shut off electricity to part of the base and will disrupt the NNF's operations making them weaker.*

*Level 1- Skirmish- Infiltrate behind NNF lines in the US near what used to be San Francisco. This lightly guarded area is the newest switch installed and is located right next to a road which is patrolled every day by NNF troops. Destroy this installation by turning off the switch and kill off all the guards!*

*Level 2- Cheyenne Mountain -What the heck is this? This place used to be the base of the missile defense of the US. It can take a hit from a nuke and it wouldn't budge. Unfortunately, shelling and bombing of the place reduced it to ruins and a final attack killed the rest of the surviving US troops. A switch is also planted here. This switch runs part of the next stronghold you will attack.*

*Level 3- They Know You're Here -On your next mission to turn off the next switch, you were discovered and those NNF goons ordered you to drop your weapons. They have sent around 4-8 men straight at you to imprison you if you don't drop your weapons. Well tell those NNF guys to come and get you. Because you aren't going to get imprisoned.*

*Level 4- The Secret Plans of the New Nazis- Death Awaits. The Germans have created the ultimate bomb. It works by dropping the bomb and before the bomb reaches the ground, it sends a beam of solar light into the ground causing a massive explosion that instantly blows people into skeletons. They are planning their first attack so go and kill the four officers behind this plan.*

*Level 5- Central Command- Welcome to the center of the NNF's power supply. Shutting this switch off will damge NNF ops greatly. However the other power supplys will still function. Well, at least its a big breakthrough!*

*Level 6- The Castle of the Last Stand- This is where the NNF killed off the surviving US Underground Resistance which had built this old castle. Now it is a temporary meeting site of 2 very important NNF commanders. Their divisions are meeting and you must kill the commanders. Then shoot up their army and turn their portable switch off before they finish their plan for attacking China, where the remnants of most Americans and their army is hiding.*

*Level 7- No Where to Hide, No Where to Run- Russian Intel has reported that there is a double electric generator in what used to be Arizona. This place is where another group of commanders are. As your plane flies over to drop you, you see that this place is one HECK of a filled training camp. You land on the ground and find a guard walking along the side of the building as if he knew you were coming...*

## Glitches

The intro screens glitch because the title screen was only 64x64 pixels, when it should have been 320x200. Apparently, the mod was only a demo of sorts, and was to be expanded later; perhaps this is why the issue was not corrected.

Furthermore, the Read Me lists the mod as being titled *WOLF3D A NEW ERA: QUARTERS OF THE DAMNED - SHAREWARE V.1.0 Ruins of an Old Superpower* but perhaps this proved to wordy for the title screen.
