The only code change between the two '1.4s' was a hex edit to replace the word goobers in the exe with spaces. But at the time we did that, the version without the cheat codes had been distributed for quite awhile, and we wanted to make the disctintion - would help our customer support people in knowing which was which.ĭoes 'v1.4g' appear in the game anywhere? Is there any way of knowing that you have it, other than testing for goobers? So technically v1.4g is the same as 1.4 as originally released.

To differentiate the restored version from the one w/o the cheat codes in it, we called it v1.4g (g for goobers). Since you can't enter a space as a command line parameter, it was effectively eliminated.Īfter we got over that feeling on cheat codes, we went back and restored goobers to Wolfenstein 3D. Technically it was still there, but the word goobers was changed to 7 spaces.

That extended to Wolfenstein 3D too, we went back and altered the game and removed the goobers command line parameter so you couldn't cheat. We stopped putting them in our games for awhile. Some time after that, we went through a phase when we hated cheat codes. In January of 1993 when v1.4 was first released (was the first thing released after I started working here), it went out. I should know, I put both of them together. There is only one single difference between v1.4 and v1.4g.
