id Software Shared Multiverse - Timelines

if I remember should be :
1) Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny [1940]
2) Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny: Mission Packs: Mission 2: Return to Danger [1941]
3) Wolfenstein 3D: Original Encounter: First Encounter [1942]
4) Wolfenstein 3D: Original Encounter: Second Encounter [1942]
5) Wolfenstein 3D: Nocturnal Missions [1942]
6) Wolfenstein 3D: Original Encounter: Third Encounter [1942]
7) Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny: Missions Packs: Mission 3: Ultimate Challenge [1944/2144]
8) Wolfenstein 3D [1945]
But... The Third Encounter is part of the Original Encounter...and the Second Encounter is the original release? What? I am not even confused by the chronological placement. I am confused about how many levels they are
 
First Encounter was the free demo, Second Encounter was the demo + the new levels, third encounter another campaign.
so if you take original encounter (first + second + third) and 3D should be 90 levels.
 
ERROR I MADE
Original Encounter is only first + second. Third is another thing in the game. Storywise is also part of the Original Encounter
 
??? Third encounter is the original original game + nocturnal mission, original encounter is 1+ 2 encounter, first encounter is 3 first levels and second encounter depending of who you ask is, either the 27 restant levels or the 27 level+ first encounter, making it the same as original encounter. Also the version of the game with the 3 encounters is the one that replaces the nocturnal mission bosses for spear of destiny bosses, the snes version has rats instead of dogs so lets just asume it is not canon, and there are repeated levels in some of the encounters... So the Steam version and GOG version are not the definitive versions, since they lack the first 2 encounters...
 
OMG I so confused by all the Wolfenstein 3D ports and "encounters"
I am going to list everything in Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny to see if I am missing something:



  • Wolfenstein 3D
    • Wolfenstein 3D: The Third Encounter
      • Wolfenstein 3D
        • Episode 1: Escape from Castle Wolfenstein
          • Floor 1-9
          • Floor 10 (secret level)
        • Episode 2: Operation: Eisenfaust
          • Floor 1-9
          • Floor 10 (secret level)
        • Episode 3: Die, Führer, Die!
          • Floor 1-9
          • Floor 10 (secret level)
      • Nocturnal Missions
        • Episode 4: Dark Secret
          • Floor 1-9
          • Floor 10 (secret level)
        • Episode 5: Trail of the Madman
          • Floor 1-9
          • Floor 10 (secret level)
        • Episode 6: Confrontation
          • Floor 1-9
          • Foor 10 (secret level)
    • Wolfenstein 3D: Original Encounter
      • Wolfenstein 3D: The First Encounter
        • Floor 1-3
      • Wolfenstein 3D: The Second Encounter
        • Floor 4-30
Is this right? Without even getting into Spear of Destiny and its level packs...

-Is there any particular reason of why Wolfenstein 3D Classic of Tides of War is here instead of Wolfenstein 3D? There is something that indicates that it is the "definitive version" or something like that?
-I guess that you are implying the Graphic novel retellings are swappable with the original games, right? I haven´t seen them but there is any posibility that it is B. J. retelling what happened?
-I don´t understand the nighmare parts, I have played Old Blood and New Order but I don´t remember them, are the nightmares the wolfenstein 3d levels or something else? If it is the first case does that mean that Wolfenstein 3D happens in diferent points in time in the 2 universes?

1) Tides of War is the version where the date "February 1945" is visible.
2) It's like an actual comic adaptation of a movie, if you want to watch them, I will link them to you now:

3) They Are the Wolf 3D levels and nope the developers sayed explicity that the version of Wolf 3d that we played isn't canon in the new universe.

P.S. I Forgot to put the year to Cyberpilot, now it's correct.

But, what does it mean? The levels in the nightmares are supposed to be canon or are they supposed to be deformed memories?
Because if they are not what happened, then they are not supossed to be in 1945, they would be in 1961 as nightmares

The Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein dates come from the weird wiki explanation of extrapolating real-life attempts of killing Hitler to the Wolfentein universe, right?

Castle Wolfenstein comes from the short story.
Beyond from the real Life event.
 
Where does the Wolfenstein 3D Classic in Tides of War tell the February date? There is any intro slide, a manual or a reference in other part of the game that tells that?
