![]() ![]() For kicks, I tried copying the 'M2' and 'M3' mission pack folders into the Bethesda Wolf3D + Spear version. The installation process creates a separate folder and does not require Wolf3D to be installed separately. Interestingly, the standalone Spear of Destiny installer still includes both mission packs, just as before. I didn't perform a checksum comparison between them, but at least the file sizes of the wolf3d.exe and *.wl6 files are identical, suggesting that the Bethesda release did not alter the game itself. The game and expansion are installed to the same folder, and there is a launcher that allows you to select which version you want to play. The larger installer (18MB) includes Wolf3D + Spear, minus the mission packs. In contrast, the smaller installer (12MB) only installs Wolf3D without the Spear of Destiny expansion. After reinstalling both versions, I confirmed that this is indeed the case. Additionally, I gathered some information about Shadow Man: It appears that one version is the Bethesda repackaging and the other is the original release without the Spear of Destiny expansion, but whose release is inextricably linked to the standalone Spear of Destiny because they were sold together as a bundle.
