It's not quite Doom, and yet, kinda is... Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look at Heretic, a first person shooter made by Raven Software using the Doom engine and published through Id Software in 1994. This episode covers how the game is played, how to obtain the game, tips for playing, and how to get the game working best on modern systems using DOSBox. Please note that this is a mature-rated episode.

Also, one major correction is that the Doom Engine doesn't do raycasting. I made a whole video to talk about how the Doom Engine actually works to make up for the mistake: https://youtu.be/96nFJIxW-34

Additional Information and Corrections:

* Here's a link to the page on Steam you can buy Heretic from, but again, I would recommend a physical copy over the Steam copy: http://store.steampowered.com/app/2390
