Win a signed copy of the Spear of Destiny Hint Book

The Official Hint Book of Spear of Destiny, a Wolfenstein 3D Graphic Adventure is more than your average strategy guide. Sure, there are the usual maps, hints, and cheats. But it’s also a labor of love that’s full of obscure trivia, rare concept art, and personal anecdotes about what it was like to work on the Wolfenstein games at id Software.


Above: Free books rule, especially when they’re autographed by the author. This classic piece of gaming history has been signed by id Software’s Kevin Cloud

Plus, we’ve got the author to sign it, which will automatically raise the book’s value on eBay exponentially. But you’d be a fool to sell this vintage treasure. You see, this book is also a time machine that’ll take you back to the halcyon days of PC gaming, when a handful of creative guys made gaming history with a revolutionary first-person shooter.

That’s right. Flip through these pages and you will literally wake up in the early 1990s. George H.W. Bush will be president of the United States again, data will be transferred via archaic devices known as “floppy disks,” and all the cool kids’ computers will have Wolfenstein 3D on it. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you. If that weren’t enough, we’re also including a copy of The Official Hint Manual for Wolfenstein 3D, which is just as awesome.
