What is the limit removing port that is the closest to Heretic as possible but which is limit removing?

And another question, would it be entirely unrealistic for a port like PrBoom-Plus to ever become compatible with Heretic in the future?

Heretic+.

Indeed.

You've got Chocolate Heretic for your purist port needs. Heretic support in Eternity Engine might happen one day; it's been a short-term goal of Quasar's for years. ;)

Otherwise, you've got Doomsday, GZDoom, Legacy, Vavoom, ZDoom... If you don't like any of them, tough noogies. :p

I'll also add this:

Despite the page title, it also applies to other Doom engine games.

Indeed, I might make a suggestion that the title of the page be changed. EDIT: Done on pages discussion page.

Chocolate Doom "Raven Branch" would be my first choice for authentic feel, but limits have to be bumped up in the src. It's not hard, but you need a compiler and some (very) basic code-editing skills. If you can't do it yourself, there's surely someone else around here with same OS that will help...

I'd love if Heretic was PrBoom compatible. Would be really great for recording demos! :)

Were there any game play differences between the various versions of Heretic?

I know there were a few unused states removed.

If there wasn't, I don't see much point for PrBoom+ supporting Heretic when other ports can record demos. But then I'm not a demo watcher/recorder.

Probably, given that the demos desync.

We know that at LEAST the behavior of mace spots changed. And I'm pretty sure that alone doesn't account for the desyncs, so there must have been some other changes too.
