  • if you ever played this game and still remember it today then it means you are old... respect:D... i loved this game!

  • This used to creep the hell out of me, can't beat retro games for giving you nightmares.

  • @kumaraisin I was 6 when i 1st played it, and fear, was last thing i felt :D

  • I was playing this yesterday and realised that the sound he makes when he gets hit sounds literally identical to the character in a game called Deliverance on the Amiga.

  • God I miss this game... WINDOWS 7 U SUCK!!!!

  • @elvengadorcerocho yea :D

  • @elvengadorcerocho I am playing this on my windows 7...using my CD-rom version. It's easy..people just need to make an effort.

  • how can i get the 4. and 5. episode???

    

  • So many memories.

  • good times, good times.

  • Can you play this without the disc?

  • Heretic has some shitty Audio. Almost EVERY Computer I use it on sounds a scratchy. Is there a setting I am over-looking perhaps? I don't want to bash a descent game. Thanks!

  • @UZI9MMAUTO Heretic, is one of the best FPS games like Doom, Hexen, .... between others

  • @EdgarIX My OLD 150mhz PC had a Great Sound to it with Heretic. Did they make MODS and Levels like they did and STILL DO for Quake 1,2 ?

  • @UZI9MMAUTO OUUuyeah, Thus is friends with the source-port, which is for both games can be run under Windows XP, Vista, 7, among others, of course, these games will never die, will be eternal, as are the gods the FSP (First person shooter)

    Greetings

  • that second weapon you picked up.. why does it look like your character is wearing it on his bellend? o.O

  • Finished without any sound. At the time my computder didnt have a soundcard.

    Prefer Heretic over Doom.

  • doom + heretic... just epic... MoH or BAttlefield go home....

  • heavy metal song based on the story of heretic  - watch?v=tPB3p7R2Ev0

  • scary game but i love it

  • looks suspiciously like Hexen for nintendo 64

  • @SirKoto51 Hexen or "Hexen: Beyond Heretic" rather, is the sequel to Heretic. :)

    @Ilja4eva Sounds like you either have the original Heretic game (if you have three episodes to choose from) or possibly the shareware demo. The game in this video is "Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders" which is the same as the original Heretic but with two additional episodes "The Ossuary" and "The Stagnant Demesne".

  • Comment removed

  • How can i get the crosshair and number of ammo like in these video?

  • This video was incredible! It included the feeling of "most epic battle in history" but had the distinct characteristics of magic wielders. There was even some storytelling, not that common for a game with that amount of action.

    I must have given a hell of an impression at the time of it's release! I never played the game and it popped my eyes several times so I can't imagine back then.

  • this game reminds me of the movie The socerer's Apprentice.

  • ya know what they need to do, is combine doom and heretic into 1 game, all the monsters from both, all the weapons, all heretics artifacts. Heretics tomb of power works on doom weapons too, a few more weapons and monsters added. Keep the sprites style game- none of that now a days style bullfuck with this one-and call it DOOMATIC.

  • i'm playing this on xbox, but at 2:35 it always crashes. i can't go any further!

  • Can someone tell me what's the difference between this game and the one in which the menu background is all is a bit different? (it's red).

  • mouse? jumps?

    not fair. :)

  • @mrfelipeist Mouse and jumps yes, but I turned auto aim off as you can see in this video. So the game is much much harder, cause you really need the aim for the enemies like at 01:20 , and the tomb of power in combination with phoenix rod is useles without auto aim:)

  • this game is alot more colorful than the 2nd game.

  • why does the background music in the last level sound different?

  • I just finished this game, i always put it off because i heard it was just a medieval doom rip off, but it is really fun!

  • @MoopireXXX

    Where i can download this game. I had had play this game during 1998 but I lost the file.

  • I enjoyed watching this because I only have Heretic 2 (played for hours on that one). Other gamers have told me Heretic 2 is a continuation of the first. I never played the first, but I immediately recognized the serpent rider in this scene. If they did make a 3rd, I wonder what would happen after Morcalavin vanished? Do you suppose Corvus would have became some all mighty being ruling over Parthoris? What do you think would have happened with Corvus if there was a 3rd?

  • I have this Heretic But you can here jump?

  • oh man.. this were the times you know. All those great games from the 90's. I think that they are way better than the games now. It has so much memories. Duke nukem, heretic doom blood and everything were the best!

  • i never was able to clear the last level man...! i loved this game so much

  • he's not that good at side steping

  • jogo excelente eletrizante!

  • One of best games ever. since today is difficult find a game who can equièarate the atmosphere of Heretic

  • i love the "hahaha" when you pick up a weapon lol.

  • the Head always gave me nightmares when i was little ^^

  • Scary as hell back then. Correct me if I am wrong but this was the first dark fantasy game that was not an RPG.

  • This was so much harder without the mouselook :]

  • my 1st game on pc

  • lol i remeber, how i played this game with ma friend when we were young :D...we totaly love it :D

  • why these war games never gets a happy end?! endless war... i used to love this game. but now, after so many fights i just want...... raceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! lol

  • Heyyyyyyyyyyy! I always play every episode in "Black plague posesses thee" and It is so fucking great, and I dont use the jump option...just a comment.

  • ripoff,the maulotars proved more of a fight

  • count me in.. i love this game

  • I made a level thats fucken sick, its got shitloads of enemies of all kinds but you need a fast computer and be good at the game to run it. If anyones interested give me your hotmail email address and ill send you the wad.

  • the music's different,more epic

  • Personally, I think the Doomsday/Jdoom engine has very unresponsive controlls. I perfer GZDoom myself or skulltag.

  • LOVE IT LOVE IT!

  • This boss is just epic!

    (especially when you led him to spawn a dozen of..priests? or whatever they are.)

    This guy with his serpent pet gave me nightmares when I played the game

    under 10 years old..and I still remember

    how it went in my dreams!

    Still love this game thought.

    It has much better atmosphere

    than the most new games on 2000.

  • This reminds me many memories, I was playing this with my brothers when I was about 7 years old. I forgotten the name of the game but I finally found it. I think its the first game I ever play, this and a car game that I forgot to. :( I never have been able to kill the boss at the end lol

  • Man this would be GREAT let's play. Is there any made on Youtube, because I would like to know?

  • best retro shooter ever for me

  • Heretic, one of the most thrilling games I've ever played since Doom.

  • did u used that with the doomsday engine?

  • The best PC`s game ever! I loved play that game... Doom is cool but never will be something like Heretic!

  • @vampiromorrison18 Heretic plays off Doom engine.

  • You can get the entire hexen/heretic series on the stream webpage for windows. It's dirt cheap too.

  • sounds like fun. show me the url.

  • Always loved this game...graphics, gameplay, music, everything about it. I have not yet come across a fantasy novel that reaches this game's level of eeriness (for its time, anyway). Have you?

  • is Heretic only for the PC? or is it also for the N64? cuz this game looks awseom and i wanna get my hands on it haha

  • that weapon... it looks  like.... :S

  • its awesome the lights and junk :)

  • A truly classic and underated game. I wish Raven Software or HumanHead studios would make another Heretic/Hexen game.

  • man they need to release this and hexen on xbox downloadable game, i want to play it again so badly

  • i love this game.

  • Hexen rules, but Heretic was OK...

  • Both games are scary... It was awesome! I love this game as much as I hole Hexen. But Hexen is newer, so is really better.

  • Both games are truly original. Hexen has the coolest weapons. I tried to get my hands on a copy of the entire game of Heretic, but found it to be pretty much impossible. On the N64, I became addicted to Hexen- and Hexen is also available for the Playstation. They should have ported Heretic to the consoles as well...

  • google for doomsday engine, you can play it, even with enhanced light effects

  • Download the Skulltag version on Isohunt. That version is great. 0-o

  • Ya know whats amazing to me is this whole generation of 2-d sprite based shooters are still extremely playable today. Heretic, Hexen, Doom and Duke have gotta be some of the greatest shooters of all time, and all of them are still a blast to fire up and play after all these years.

  • Final boss was very annoying especially on highest difficulty. Loading last map on highest difficulty using DM mod which means only beginning weapons and no items at start - that was probably the hardest challenge I've ever seen in shooters while playing.

  • I've only ever played the original Heretic and loved it upon playing it. It sure was difficult to complete, but alas, it was a brilliant game.

  • I remember playing this game during elementery school (pardon my spelling if it's wrong). But I would always have the God code on so I couldn't die. And I would even have it on the lowest difficulty. Of course, when you're about 11 year old, you sometimes want to cheat to succeed in games. Still, good times.

  • um lol im using a different mapp to this one lol.

  • lawl how the hell do u jump in this game?

  • Jumping is cheating, unless you are playing custom maps. So don't jump.

  • @signofzeta I find Jumping fun

  • i never played the first Heretic, only the second because when the first one was realesed i culdnt play... i was to young... when the second one was realesed i was 6 years old :D but this game is amazing

  • doomsday engine rullz ! i have it too :D

  • What I love bout this ol' games is how fast u can run :D

  • I totally agree with you, I wasnt that happy about Doom3 when it came out as they took away the classic shoot em up element and made it into a horror survival game :(

    Not that Doom3 is bad, but Im just saying that after playing the classic doom games then playing doom3, it wasnt that fun

  • Doom 4 will be more classic than Doom 3 ;D There are already some pics of new Monsters if you search the internet :)

  • doom 3 was supposed to be thriller its not id's fault if people got scared everyone thought it was a horror.

  • where can you get this doomsday engine??

  • Google doomsday hq, go there, download it for your Operating System. Select the appropriate WAD files from the original game (it has explicit instructions when you run it for the first time) and you're good!

  • Of all the Doom clones Heretic and Dark Forces were the best. I know it goes against convention, but I'd say that both of those games were better than the original Doom. Better graphics, more creativity and in my opinion better level design.

  • i always hear "cumpleaños feliz" in the 0:23

    in english, that means "happy birthday" xD

  • jajajajajaja si es cierto XD!!! el juego es de lo mejor!!!

  • Erm, jumping is cheating :D

  • Did you guys notice @ 7:24 that there is ammo sitting right in front of teleport, although you don't need ammo past that point - and to those of you that want to play these games: if you seek them hard enough, you'll certainly come across them *wink* *wink*.

  • i loooooove this game where can i find it now?

  • escribeme y te lo mando

  • Duke Nukem 3d, This, and Quake are among my favorite games ever. Im not at all a fantasy guy but this game rocks and is hard as fuck to.

  • I agree, i've never been a particular fan of the theme, but Heretic (and Hexen) were awesome. I even played it when the to me more appealing Quake came out.

  • Ahh heretic. My favorite FPS to date. The creativity mixed with the doom engine makes it nearly the perfect game for its time.

    Why people lack this ability now? I'll never know, appealing to the masses seems to be the primary goal.

  • Thats because they want to make money.

  • this isnt the last level!

  • dam star wars dark forces i got the demo of it off of Full Throttle,never could find the full version

  • Heretic was also one of my first fps games played along with Star Wars Dark Forces. I really miss this game!

  • That's cool that it shows the Heresiarch from Hexen at the end.

  • I like this game, but HeXen more. Santora2007, you missed secret locations. We kill the last Serpent Rider, Edolon, in HeXen II.

  • this elf alone defeated an entire army of monster and magicians... what a badass

  • Haaaa ese era mi juego favorito,hasta dibuje todos los personajes cuando era chico,todavia tengo el juego pero no lo puedo hacer corre en puto Vista

  • Comment removed

  • Azteroth666 you can play Heretic on Vista using GZdoom (download it from its site) just put the heretic.wad file in its folder and that's it. You need that file though.

  • yo tambien lo tengo hace poco lo instale sufri mucho para hacerlo pero logre , recuerdo heretic en mi vieja pc 486 la jugaba sin sonido pero recuerdo su calidad de imagen pero esta version de doomsday es lo mejor para recordar.

  • how did you do that jump at 4.01?

  • it isnt old heretic, he played that in doomsday engine, where you can also jump...

  • hey man! nice vid! where can i download that great game? i kinda miss it! lol

    THANK YOU

  • i remember i first played this on a pentium 1

    my first game

    such a great game

  • If you like 3d textures and more modern day graphic and audio support, use the doomsday engine and play Jheretic Jdoom and the like.

    Like me, if you want to play Heretic or Doom as close to vanilla as possible, use Zdoom. Doom 95 can't run heretic + it sucks, and the other source ports are mighty buggy when it comes to multiplayer and coop play.

  • Hexen, and Korax (the grinning priest at the end of this video) ROCK, but Heretic doesn't. Neither does Heretic 2 or Hexen 2.

    In other words, Hexen was the only decent game in the trilogy. Sorta like Star Wars 5.

  • I think both, Heretic and Hexen rock. Also Hexen II but Heretic II is shit :D

    BTW Those "monks" are called "Disciple of D'Sparil" =D=D=

  • yea i agree Heretic 1 is awesome but the 2 is just bullshit :D

  • What those monk's are saying?

  • i dont now exactly but i thin ktheyr sometimes saying "corvus" which is the name of the hero in this game

  • The monks speak backward phrases.

  • This isn't the last episode of heretic, it's only the last episode of episode 3. The game was re-released a year or so later with patches, updates etc, and had 2 more episodes. The final level is 'Field of judgement', episode 5 level 8, and has a number of Minotaurs for a big finish. 5* for a great game none the less.

    Look for the re-release as 'Heretic -- Shadow of the Serpent Riders'

    Buy the game at w w w.amazon.c o m

    Get the dos -> windows support at w w w.doomsdayhq.c o m

  • Yeah. I remember those annoying Minotaur's attacking me from all direction's. I never beated that level.

  • And why didn't killing the iron lich get you a Morph Ovum? It usually does.

  • Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn't. A little bit of randomness, I guess.

  • How do you record these clips?

  • this isnt doomsday, i thought doomsday made it all more 3D?

  • it allows for 3D models... there is a 3D modelpack out for it, search for "jhrp" (jHeretic Resource Pack)

    Newer, better models are in the works, though :)

  • i thought so :)

  • this looks real fun, if its made by ID and is on DOO engine im sure it will be!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • boy i was wrong, the 1st episode was so hard and annoying, i hated it. but the 2nd episode so far is much more fun, the game is fun and all but that 1 episode annoyed me.

  • I think the 1st episode was the easiest one. I've done it in about 7 minutes.

  • yeah, now that im ferther the game is much more fun

  • What does thou art a smite-meister mean?

  • AAhhh ofc its different the start it complete different than mine

  • OR is this a different version?

  • WHAT 5 episodes how ?

    btw i used doomsday2 so then i could play the game but didnt got extra episodes.. how u got ? or do u get them from doomsday 1?

  • update your version to version 1.3. I think it should add the last 2 additional episodes in. The version you got was probably the version that only be received via mail order, while those who payed like $10 in the store got only the first episode back in the day.

  • i consider myself lucky man for having this gem of a game in its original box (the datadisc one, shaped like a book with a big skull on its front). Really loved this game when i was young. still today it has somehow wicked and evil atmosphere that no other game can best. And whats really great about it and also very underrated is the soundtrack. It just sounds so wickedly wicked its unbelievable . I always thought that if they made black metal without guitars it would end up sounding like this.

  • heretic is best run on latest gzdoom; he may have used fraps but its not free - the shareware version records games up to 60 secs i think, and is watermarked. you need to google some more if you want a free retail copy of fraps.

    And yes, fraps is sh!tloads better than gamecam

  • this is the first first person shoot em up i played also . Absolute classic . wish i could play it again.

    II also would love to know how yo recorded it ?????? B)-~

  • try GameCam or Fraps

    Fraps is better in my opinion.

  • GG 5/5

  • With what program you used to record the video and is she free?

  • He probably used Fraps - it's free.

  • wow eidolon at the end is the best

  • did u download this game?

    or buy it?

    if u d/l which website?

  • you can buy the disk off amazon

  • how can i use doomsday pls tell me and which version!! [-o<

  • doomsday?...i will find it with my own life! xD

  • use the Ring and the Phoenix rod flametrower. it's the strongest combo of the game

  • noring and the inferno or ring and thenormal hellfiire

  • i palyed Heretic when i was 5,but,the only part i can rememebr when i was fighting some enemies (those golem like monsters) and,when somehting crushed me bad xD

  • similar thing happened here. I saw what I used to think was a helmet thing. I said Ooooo me wants. Then I get it to find it is a new weapon, the dragon claw. I fire it out and I was so into that weapon and firing at nothing, then I say let's go. I can't move, and blood was spewing out. I was like help... I'm stuck... Then I died.

    I still didn't realize that I got crushed back then, until I got a few years older, and saw that the ceiling actually came down.

  • Loooved this game. Also, freeze it at 8:31. That's sooo alien.

  • Nice! You did waste a lot of ammo tough

  • plz someone tell me where I can get heretic shadow of the serpent riders,

    by the way does anyone know where I can find the story?

  • you can get the whole collection on Steam.

  • This isn't the last episode. The last episode is episode 5. True you kill D'Spiral, however the other 2 episodes take place during the time you get lost for along time up until heretic 2.

  • man....taht was the first shooter i ever played...i was 4 or something xD...one of the best shooter ever

  • where can I download that version

    the thing is that I only have the first 3 episodes

  • i dont know if you have played Blood before but Heretic and Blood are top ones for me....besides Postal 2

  • I didnt even know of the last 2

  • Great games....

  • I still can't decide which is better, Doom or Heretic... I guess Doom, just because of the second game (first was awesome, second one literally, LITERALLY defined my childhood)

  • This game is amazing remember playin it few years back and im tryin to get it now

  • hello i come from germany

    can somebody tell me where i can find heretic as

    free download? or is that impossible?

    sorry for my bad english

  • Google?

  • i just got jdoom to play all doom/heretic/hexen games with 'modern' graphics and zdoom to play them all classic, ID owns:)

  • great game. great company. sadly they ended the doom and hexen series.... or did they?

  • hey the serpant D,Sparils riding reapears in hexen.

  • wow Heritic should be remade,

  • omg omg omg nice game
