Hexx: Heresy of the Wizard (PC) (1994) (Psygnosis Limited)

[Tangomoose]

Such a good game, childhood right there

it sucked having to enter lines from the manual to be able to play the game tho...

[SandersonCallum]

amazing game

[dMITIC]

so the four of them sleep on the same bed?

[Demiath]

@dMITIC Perhaps, but I guess they might also take turns sleeping and guarding the party.

Compared to Eye of the Beholder and the rest of the Gold Box games, this is very well made 1st-person dungeon crawler.

It's a shame that the quality of Psygnosis games turned to shit the closer their buyout got to them.

[jazzpsalti]

what a sucky engine compared to UW lol

[PresidentBagel]

Around this period it seemed like there were a lot of Eye of the Beholder clones.

[Risingson2]

Two random thoughts: how wonderful was the lack of loading times back then in the 90's in PC games, and how unconfortable were dungeons crawlers in 3d. Ultima Underworld, IIRC, was at least as a nightmare to handle as this one.

[Demiath]

Oh, loading times could be quite lengthy even in very old PC games. Since all my old games videos are recorded in DOSBox on a modern computer (and thus are optimized to ideal configurations which gamers back then could only dream of), none of them really gives an accurate representation of just how smoothly (or sluggishly) these games would actually run on the average gaming computer of the relevant time period...

[Borin81]

If I was a trader, I wouldn't set up shop in a closet. :(

[Demiath]

Maybe he's dealing in stolen goods? ;)

[blackleg666]

Good vid. It would be nice to hear the full piece of fight music.

[Demiath]

Yes, I shouldn't have rushed through the fights like I did.

Actually, the music quality can be much better overall than in this video (DOSBox that I used unfortunalety can't record the highest quality sound setting). The intro track is downright impressive in its original version....
