Heretic and HeXen for Risc Acorn 32 bit computer

Recommended Posts

From googling on internet i have found that there is Acorn Archimedes versions of these games released as Towers of Darkness: Heretic, Hexen & Beyond

Interesting Details:
Released as bundle of on CDROM and/or 3 Floppy discs:

The Heretic probably has own CD-Audio tacks , but i really doubt, chances for this are extremaly low.

Here are some screenshots with and without texture filtering (as only preview images available i can't say where exactly it present or not.

Interesting notes: not only hud can be optionally scaled , but also weapons, i like this idea of small in view weapon =)
Antialiasing on map mode is also cool =)
Fog and Dark fade looks like in QZDoom software mode in 24bpp.
Also Acorn version can work on 8bpp and 24bpp graphical modes.

Is the images load properly? Most of them says file.php?mode=view&id=

Edit: oh nevermind, sorry. Wish there's a delete button
