Heretic
(ID Software /Raven, 1994)
While Doom
began the whole 3D gaming craze as we know it today, Heretic
is when things started to get fun. It used the same 3D
game engine as Doom, yet was set in a mystical
time period, so magic wands and staffs were the "weaponry"
(with a lot of impressive special FX to go with them). You could
also collect additional spells as inventory items, that you could use at any time! Animation was equally improved; defeat
a zombie warrior and see their freed spirit screaming up into
the sky...Xena Warrior Princess, eat your heart out! This shareware
game was soon followed by an off-the-shelf spin-off (of sorts),
Hexen, which was set
in the same storyline as Heretic. However, it was
the inspired idea of Heretic that paved the road
for any number of ingenious Doom clones, showing
everything the Doom engine could accomplish...with
the right game designers behind it!
