No it works Steam comes with a dos box emulator for games like duke nukem 1, 2 ,3D and Wolfenstein 3D and Doom

[Meister Plato, Esq.]

it does work with windows 7.

[Ma∀rten∞]

It works with Windows 7 as it runs on DOSBox, which lets you play DOS-based games on newer OSes

[Joel_Niceman]

Works without any problem on windows 8 64bit, so i cant se why it shouldn´t work on windows 7.

works very well. If you have a widescreen display. you have to open up the config file and edit steamapps/common/wolf3d/base/wolf3d.config
and change the line "fullresolution=800x600" to "fullresolution=1280x1024"
now it works on widescreen displays :D

yet, "Duke 3D" also has a newer Megaton Edition to go along with it

Wolf3D is not supported nor does it work on Windows 7. The game files though run in DOSBox which runs on Windows 7 and there is plenty of help available should it fail. So in that respect, it'll work.

Don't forget to swap out ddraw for "opengl".

agreed its sometimes better, however if your using a 4:3 or 5:4 display already then you shouldnt need to really change any settings. max size i beilive is 1280x1028- thats the engine itself's limitation. for the record- thats a perfect res for most games, Id, as always, was ahead of their time.

ah 16bit color issues. I had a fix for this at one point, I forgot how I fixed it. im going to go do some research hold on

[[THT]root]

found some solutions. try these: config files edit: output=ddraw to output=surface or output=opengl or output=overlay
basically you need to set dosbox to hardcoded 32bit or 16bit color mode. apparently windows 7 and windows vista uses dynamic display ♥♥♥♥♥, so dosbox will try to switch back and forth causing terrible color issues. on windows XP [the best version of windows] we used vdmsound. dont think it works on vista onwards.
or just find a sourceport

[PathologicalFrolic]

I WANT TO SEE IT WITH A FALSE COLOR PALETTE
