(English below) Pues me di cuenta de que el source port Hammer of Thyrion, entre las versiones para diversos sistemas operativos que tiene, una es un port para MS-DOS. Hexen 2 salió directamente para Windows 95. Normalmente cuando juegas a un juego clásico en un source port es para jugarlo en un sistema más moderno. Así que me ha parecido curioso que se pueda jugar en un sistema operativo más antiguo que para el que fue lanzado.

¿Y quien va a querer jugarlo en MS-DOS? Pues por curiosidad, como yo, o gente que tiene un PC antiguo para jugar a juegos retro. Yo no conservo ninguno, así que lo juego en DOSBox ECE, en donde funciona perfectamente. Bueno, juego a una resolución de 800x600 (aunque grabado a 4K) porque a más los fps caen en algunas situaciones, no sé si mala optimización del port, de DOSBox o ambos. Juego con un i9-13900K.

En cualquier caso, jugarlo así, en baja resolución (para los tiempos actuales, en aquella época para mi jugar a 800x600 era como alta resolución) y en modo software sin las texturas sin filtrar (yo cuándo lo jugué en su época, fue con aceleración gráfica 3DFX con una Voodoo Banshee), le da cierto encanto retro, ¿no creéis?

Well, I noticed that the source port Hammer of Thyrion, among the versions for different operating systems it has, one is a port for MS-DOS. Hexen 2 was released directly for Windows 95. Normally when you play a classic game in a source port is to play it in a more modern system. So I found it curious that you can play it on an older operating system than the one it was released for.

And who will want to play it on MS-DOS? Well, out of curiosity, like me, or people who have an old PC to play retro games. I don't keep any, so I play it in DOSBox ECE, where it works perfectly. Well, I play at a resolution of 800x600 (although recorded at 4K) because at more the fps drop in some situations, I don't know if bad optimization of the port, DOSBox or both. I play with an i9-13900K.

In any case, playing it like this, in low resolution (for today's times, at that time for me playing at 800x600 was like high resolution) and in software mode without unfiltered textures (when I played it at the time, it was with 3DFX graphics acceleration with a Voodoo Banshee), gives it a certain retro charm, don't you think?
