I dunno. Maybe it's not much by today's standards... But that's one hell of a toaster.
Maybe PC version is just an unoptimized port of the toaster version.

Mr.Mumbles: Looking at the screenshots, the highly pixelated enemy textures look terrible especially when mixed with the much higher fidelity backdrop of the levels. Even early full 3D shooters didn't look this bad in comparison.

CharlesGrey: Had a look at some screens and I agree. The visual style seems rather inconsistent. :/

CharlesGrey: Hah, just noticed the title could be read as AM I DEVIL. I wonder if that's intentional...
No, I was just quoting the song. Far out. :P

"Am I Evil" by Metallica, right? There's also "Am I Demon" by Danzig. Well, and probably a few more, but that's just what comes to mind right now. I wonder if the game title is a reference to those.

nightcraw1er.488: Heretic came first, basically doom with magic and melee.
Then hexen bit more advanced.
Then hexen 2 more advanced

The clue to remembering is that hexen was called hexen: beyond heretic.

tinyE: which one had the pole vaulting? That was so cool.
You're probably thinking of Heretic 2.

Oh, sorry, I wasn't aware the Metallica version wasn't the original.

*looks at your avatar* Nice boomstick you got there!

I was just having a bit of fun, do like the Metallica version as well.

Have a good weekend mate.
To be honest part of what made Hexen/Heretic for me was the cool sprites for enemies, it just isn't the same with 3d models.

Same here, I was pretty sure it was going to be a AMD rant thread :)

+1 for the guy who nailed the original band!
It feels like it's 1999 again and someone made a mod for the original Unreal Tournament. Not bad!

The gameplay doesn't look shabby, but those super low-res enemy textures still bother me.

Side note: They mentioned the Doom mod Return of the Triad, and I just gave it a whirl. Pretty good stuff.
