The controls are based around using dual joysticks. With a keyboard there are 8 directions of motion centered around the S key, and 8 directions of pointing your gun centered around the L key. Pressing L fires the gun.

For some reason the ; key doesn't work to point the gun right.

Also you gotta have sound -- the whole point of Wolfenstein is the screaming in German. You'd think after 15 years web standards would ... never mind.
