Editor note

This game is sometimes claimed to be 'the first mod'. Most games before this one were mods, but the industry worked a bit differently then. 'Mods' were expected and even encouraged. Perhaps they mean it is the first non-commercial mod of a proprietary closed-source game done in violation of copyright? Notably, the makers of this mod did not remove the copy-protection. So, theoretically, an original copy of Castle Wolfenstein was required to play it. Regardless, the creators of Castle Smurfenstein themselves have talked about Dino Smurf, their mod of Dino Eggs which happens to be a prequel of Castle Smurfenstein.
