 Ar> Heretic is quite nice. I like it lots because it improves upon Doom
 Ar> withoutbreaking havoc with the engine.
 Ar> 
 Ar> Heretic's expansion was great too.

I've got to try the expansion, and really I think the entire game. 
Thinking about the HERETIC.WAD file I have, I can't tell if its the shareware. I got a few off steam with doom ultimate purchase. I needed the WAD files for chocolate-doom. 

 Ar> Hexen is probably a better game, with its puzzles and
survival horror  Ar> theme,but Heretic always was nicer if you wanted brainless, crazy fun.

One thing I like about the brainless aspects of doom and Heretic, is just that, no worries about spending XP or money, and dealing with those level up branches/trees. 

DCSS (dungeon crawl stone soup), I get tripped up with all the complexity sometimes. So a nice brainless shooter is a fun adventure.

Today 3/22/2022 I saw some amazing expansion/custom levels for Quake, and Doom, on twitch. I've got to research where they are getting those. 
 
Keep gaming!
Take care Arelor.
