From Wikipedia:

Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Apogee Software and FormGen. Originally released on May 5, 1992, for DOS, it was inspired by the 1981 Muse Software video game Castle Wolfenstein, and is the third installment in the Wolfenstein series. In Wolfenstein 3D, the player assumes the role of Allied spy William “B.J.” Blazkowicz during World War II as he escapes from the Nazi German prison Castle Wolfenstein and carries out a series of crucial missions against the Nazis.

The game’s title is set in Cathedral. Additional text on packaging is set in ITC Machine and Helvetica Condensed. Additional text on label of v1.2 diskette is set in Helvetica and Times. Additional text on label of v1.4 diskette is set in Gill Sans. The text featured on the in-game HUD or status bar appears to have been based on ITC Honda.
