The Serpent Riders have made the kings of Parthoris their puppets and their undead legions are swarming the land. Only you, the Elf Corvus have the power to - you know what? The story probably isn't one bit more important than it is in DOOM, the masterpiece that this month's game is based on. Heretic was the breakthrough success for Raven Software, though, the company that would later become known for games like Jedi Knight II. But Heretic is remembered fondly by many fans, as well. Rightfully so? Or did it just ride the wave of DOOM clones, even using the DOOM engine in this case?

Let's find out!

Joining hosts Martijn ("Tijn") and Florian ("rnlf") on this episode we have DGC members DRS (returning from the Karateka episode) and Wouter ("jefklak"), who's on the show for the first time.
