Hey look, I ripped some more sprites.
Enemies:
Other stuff:
And, of course, the zip:
So let's talk about The Lost Episodes. It was actually two expansion packs of sorts made for Spear of Destiny by FormGen Corporation back in '94 called Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge. They had new graphics from the original Wolfenstein 3D games by id, though the new graphics were reused between the two expansions, confusing some people who try to distinguish them. The only graphics that are different between them are the enemies that appear exclusively in the final levels. In Return to Danger, the enemies appear as ghosts wearing SS caps, while in Ultimate Challenge they appear as a cloud of green biochemical organisms. They're known as the Lost Episodes because of how few people actually knew of their existence. It used to be a rare artifact of an original Wolfenstein 3D fan to be able to get their hands on either of the expansions, but now if you buy Spear of Destiny through Valve's Steam digital distribution platform, it comes with the Lost Episodes as well. As for FormGen? Well, it ended up getting bought out by GT Interactive in '96. GT was known for having their hands in the publishing of such gems as Blood, Quake, Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem 3 Atomic Edition, Unreal Tournament, and loads of other games. Only 3 years later GT went defunct after Infogrames Entertainment took control over it.
So, that's your history lesson for the moment. Enjoy the sprites.
Edit: I'm appending the two SoD rips I did to this thread as it doesn't really feel like I should start an entire new thread for just two sheets. Here they are:
And here's the zip: Zip file ahoy!
