What's worse is that calling the third game of a series '3D' was such
a common occurence during the 90s* that I should have noticed
immediately. Take "Duke Nukem 3D", for example. Also, "Lemmings 3D"
and "Prince of Persia 3D". (We gamers were really excited about 3D
back then ;-). It was an annoying trend, but I picked up on it every
time. The 3D referred both to the fact that the game was the third in
the series and had transitioned to '3D' graphics. Completely obvious;
an impossible to miss reference.
Except with Wolfenstein 3D for some reason.
It was earlier than most other games that did that. Maybe that's why. Wolfenstein 3D was even pre-Doom.
