Back when computers were computers,,, and PlayStation 1 was just a cool video game console and nothing more... ..going to the electronics store and browsing the aisle of all the creative hard copy software was a pleasure,,, and even picking up choice peripherals such as scanners + printers was fun! Then at later times the absolute horror of cheapness Internet software,, etc.. ....However, we will perhaps one day make a fantastic return to computing + video game greatness once again! All in! ✌️😁🤗😇😎
This is going to be a great run, but I can already tell the fact that the HUD is missing is going to decrease my ability to enjoy it to a higher degree.....good run no less. It deserves a lot more views than it has. It's a shame to see these old DoS games falling into obscurity, but after all it is a Doom clone and Doom and Doom 2 are still getting plenty of love...so that;s good.
Many thanks for this great video...I like that I'm not only one who's playing Heretic these days :D But I'm prefering Doomsday engine with better textures and 3D models...yeah, it's not so old-skool yet ;)
Sonakshi Mor I used to play it as a kid on the easiest difficulty :P you can get the full version online actually! I'm assuming you're south asian, btw. So am I :D
I don't know if you still want it, but Heretic is one of the best games ever, so you can buy it from steam, and a lot of DooM games too. I've purchased like Doom 1, 2 and ultimate plus heretic and 2 hexens for 20BRL(should be like -7U$)... I don't remember if was on promo, but still, you can buy it. If you don't know steam just search it in google, and open first result. It's an program where you can buy many many games and download then, pretty easy... If you still can't do ir and want, send me a mesage ill try to help it out... Sorry my bad english, not english... kinda... person... xD
+patrick kanne 22 days..? This game only took around 8-15 hours to finish if you didn't know what you were doing.. Hexen, maybe a couple of days without a guide..
+13BPPBUGEYE323 I'm playing through it for the first time and I often spend 30-40 min. per level, lots of time spent looking for all the secrets, 5 episodes with 9 levels each (i think?) is about 20+ hours for me.
Haywood Jablome 8-15 hours is the typical time it takes to finish an FPS. If you are exploring, then of course it will take longer. The way they are designed is pretty linear and you are always on the right track. Get x key to unlock x door, get y key to open y door etc. That is why Hexen takes longer, it is more puzzle solving and exploration.
+13BPPBUGEYE323 But if you were a kid and it was 94 or 95 when this came out... a lot of us used the default set up which wasn't wasd it was the arrow keys, and you were getting blown away by the mechanics :P
When I was a kid, I was scared to play this game. The dragons were ok but those yellow running muscled men. Nightmare. I couldn't finish even first level. Afyer years, I downloaded it and I finished all of the game. I got revenge from all those monsters :)
magetaaaaaa Dark Forces was really fun. It had much more of a puzzle element involved, whereas Doom and Heretic were more based on killing lots of guys and collecting keys to get to the end.
Derek JCG actuallly, Dark Forces wasn't idtech. It was it's it's own thing that was closer to Duke's BUILD engine. But they all fall under the raycasting engine family, so... yeah.
I see many Doom players bouncing off the doors while they open, it supposedly saves a few frames - yet I don't see this strategy being used here, is there a reason? Does the momentum work differently in Heretic?
It takes a couple of frames to reach max speed, by going back, you can start running as the door opens instead of waiting still, reaching max speed sooner
Awesome Game and a great run, loved some skips here and there, but a small question, are you using Zdoom or just a steam version, I would like to get the Wads for this game :3
I see that you DamN FcT give flout finding secrets. Is there speedrun which one finds and opens everything? Incidentally what difficulty level you play at?
Me:I'm pretty good in the heretic I completed episod 3 in 15:50.*watched this video*. I m very bad player in heretic and I completed episod 3 in 15:50 on yellow bellies.
This run is kind of damaged by the fact that you didn't use strict Doom rules. You walk over game objects a lot in your run, and I don't think you can do that in Vanilla Heretic
I liked HeretiC more than DooM. But it was Creepy as hell for me when i played it in the 90s.
Indeed.. legit scared me like f lol
This game used to scare me as fuck 20 years ago
You're not alone, this game (as well as its spinoff/sequel Hexen) scared the crap out of me, and they still sort of do today.
Well done, excellent skills on this awesome game, one of my favorite all time...
If I was designing a game, all the monsters that survived earlier levels would show up as reinforcements on the last level.
what a dastardly idea..!

so very close to death near start of episode one and three, down to 9 life and 5 life respectively. Very lucky to survive the run, nice clip to watch!
the lead druid at the end is riding around on Spawn's Violator. :D
I tried to speedrun the first ep. 5 years ago, and I made it in 10:21 minutes. After watching this, I feel that I can do it a lot better :)
SharkyChip, please update us on your progress over the past 2 years. A link to your video where you've done it a lot better would be appreciated.

I would gladly see Heretic getting an update on a level of Doom Eternal...
Many thanks for this great video...I like that I'm not only one who's playing Heretic these days :D
But I'm prefering Doomsday engine with better textures and 3D models...yeah, it's not so old-skool yet ;)
The video quality is great btw
It is because it is the Doomsday engine.
Those red flying monsters exactly sound like Dragons from Warcraft 2
I miss the music, but the playing is top-notch
Wow, fucking nice runs! I'm very impressed.
I can't remember how I cleared all that levels without running like a crazy man lol
Fuuuuckkkk. INSANE GAMEPLAY
Sonakshi Mor Heretic fan? Damn, it's so hard to find some around these days.
***** HELL YES TOTALLY XD love this game!! Ikr, so hard! I don't have the full version :(
Sonakshi Mor I used to play it as a kid on the easiest difficulty :P you can get the full version online actually!
I'm assuming you're south asian, btw. So am I :D
***** I played it on medium, but daym! The memories :') I miss thisss :(
Can I? OMG HOW HELP ME! T_T
Yes I am! That's awesome (:

why no music?
No particular reason, didn't pay attention to whether it was on or off :D
+DamN “D4mN” FcT Haha. OK.
22 minutes..? wow... I remember this took me about 22 days :D Games were actually hard back in the days....

Bring back my child nightmare, i guees i am still a child. This game is super creepy. Took me long enough to finish.
impressive!

Really seems like the third episode is much harder to speedrun than the others. So many random monsters and such.
When she says her parents are not home
Man this is really impressive, I'm more of a "DESTROY LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING" gamer
I m so happy
My friend down the street had this game, and I played Dark Forces. Seems like the games are really similar in style.
+magetaaaaaa Both of those games were built on the original Doom engine. These are my favorite kinds of games ever!
Derek JCG Very interesting. Dark Forces was my first FPS. Followed by Outlaws.

imagine if you could turn d'sparil into a chicken
an enormous one and riding a serpent... :)
It's imposible d spariul is a boss. Bosses can't be turned into a chicken
Awesome Game and a great run, loved some skips here and there, but a small question, are you using Zdoom or just a steam version, I would like to get the Wads for this game :3
I'm using ZDoom
fuck... (*jaw droppped*)
How dare you disable such a fantastic soundtrack..
Good Job!
Where can I play this? i had it a long time ago and beat the first ep!
it's available on steam i think, or you can look for the .wad and use zdoom or any port.
Download GZDoom engine and heretic.wad
Ur fucking awesome!!!!!!
Ooooooooooooooooooo!..
I see that you DamN FcT give flout finding secrets. Is there speedrun which one finds and opens everything?
Incidentally what difficulty level you play at?
100% run is not run by anybody i don't think.
I'm running smite meister
Hmm skill 4/5. I Hope seeing a run on Max skill level
Where did you get a French pack for Heretic?
Me:I'm pretty good in the heretic I completed episod 3 in 15:50.*watched this video*. I m very bad player in heretic and I completed episod 3 in 15:50 on yellow bellies.
E1M6 could be done in 20 seconds if you had the wings of wrath.
E1M6 pourrait être faite en 20 secondes seulement si tu avais les wings of wrath.
This run is kind of damaged by the fact that you didn't use strict Doom rules. You walk over game objects a lot in your run, and I don't think you can do that in Vanilla Heretic
You can, because in "Vanilla Heretic" you can fly.
which skill level used in these demos? surely not the most hard.
This is difficulty 4/5. I got Episode one on hardest as well on the channel
dat aim
Ice ruined speedrun
what was the difficulty?
Smite meister, it's the 4th diff. out of 5
why am i watching this when red dead redemption 2 came out today?
Are you not even mouse looking? at times it doesn't look like you are.
Not down/up, only left right. But i do use the mouse.
difficulty?
This was done in smite meister
