AN EPIC TALE
RETRO GAMER’S GUIDED TOUR OF THE WORLDS OF HERETIC AND HEXEN
HERETIC
1994
■ The first game, spawned from John Carmack’s upgraded Doom engine, took the design skills of John Romero and looped them with Raven’s mutual love of all things Dungeons & Dragons. While maintaining a predilection for ranged weaponry, Raven and id laid down the template for a more mystical experience.
