At my childhood friend's house, I used to play the "Christmas version" of this game where you shoot snowmen and Santas instead of Nazis and had the time of my life :D A little later, I somehow got my hands on the original version (probably downloaded from the internet) and played it again and again over the years. I think I fnished it once, though I can't say for sure.

The game definitely had a certain "allure of the forbidden", as it was blacklisted in Germany due to its unconstitutional symbolism. Blacklisted or not, I found the game a lot of fun to play. In all honesty, the game is far from perfect. There's a lot of backtracking and the game doesn't tell you were to find certain key items or helps you with a map or whatever. Controls can feel janky and shooting sometimes feels unresponsive. Some enemy encounters are weirdly balanced or straight up unfair. It's an old school shooter with all its ups and downs but with an undeniable charm to it. And hey, shooting Nazis is always fun :D
