About

The Wolfenstein 3D Front is a fan site dedicated to Wolfenstein 3D, created and maintained by Tris. It provides a wealth of content, including utility downloads, coding tutorials, and a collection of Wolfenstein mods. The roots of The Wolfenstein 3D Front go back to 1998, when two separate sites—Mr. Lowe’s Homepage and The Wolf3D Dome—laid the foundation for what would become one of the most important resources in the Wolfenstein 3D community.

Originally known as Brian’s Yellow Page, Mr. Lowe’s Homepage was launched in 1998 by Brian Lowe. It introduced countless players and modders to the world of Wolfenstein 3D modifications. In 2002, it evolved into The Wolfenstein 3D Dome, which continued to provide updates, mod listings, and resources while maintaining the original site.

Brian’s websites played a key role in the Wolfenstein 3D modding scene, especially in the early days of the internet. They linked to many independent modding websites and provided download links for mods and utilities as they were released. By the early 2000s, The Dome had become the most-visited Wolfenstein 3D site online. The Dome became an essential platform for tracking new mods, sharing updates on development, and promoting upcoming releases with screenshots and other materials. Many modders released their projects exclusively through The Dome, sending them directly to Brian for publication.

In early 2001, Brian and I started discussing the idea of a new website. Initially, we planned to merge Mr. Lowe’s Wolf 3D Page with a new Source Code Page. After several emails and phone conversations, we decided to create a larger, unified Wolfenstein site. While the concept was clear, time constraints delayed progress. By June, after testing several designs, we launched The Dome. The first version had a dark red background and was mostly based on content from our original sites. Later, the background changed to blue, and we continued expanding the site with new sections. A year later, we introduced an updated version, which remained active until 2016. In 2016, Brian stepped away from the community due to health issues, and The Dome became inactive. Since then, few Wolfenstein 3D websites have emerged to take its place.

In 2025, I decided to revive the website, leading to the creation of The Wolfenstein 3D Front. It serves as both a continuation of Brian’s work and a resource for the Wolfenstein 3D community.

I hope you find it useful.
