HERETIC: SHADOW OF THE SERPENT RIDERS (1994)

ID Software

This game came along at the end of the Doom era (for me anyway). Right off the bat, my friend Sam and I were playing multiplayer to this medival gothic type fantasy first person shooter. It was definately a welcome escape from blasting of aliens with the biggest, baddest guns around. A very cool idea from ID was to implement the codes from Doom into this game, but if you tried to use them, it would do the exact opposite. I.E. Doom's god mode would kill you instantly if you tried to use it here. Brilliant I say! With some work, the end of the game was fairly easy to reach as in doom, but I dont recall the 2nd or 3rd episodes at all. Could be because I never actually played them? I can't even remember even though I still have this game installed on my laptop today. It seemed I just started to get into this game when it's sequel, Hexen, came out and totally buried this one! Check out that review instead! Now get outta here!
