Space to jump seems quite normal to me, but what didn't was that A/D turned instead of side-stepped. I remember playing Tomb Raider when it came out, but I don't remember it doing that. I actually find it nearly impossible to move around with those controls, and I had the same problem with web ports of Wolfenstein.
This port doesn't have configurable controls, but with Wolfenstein you can't even configure it to do strafe without a modifier key.
It seems like at some point all these 1st/3rd person games switched to strafing by default, and using the mouse to look/turn/aim. Anyone know when that happened? What game first allowed that configuration and what first used it by default?
