I loved Heretic! The mood and atmosphere was strong in that game, and it had a nice level and game world design. I wish someone would 'unforget' this franchise and revive it.
Maybe this is Heretic II. That was even better. But I remember I played Heretic 1 too:

thank you! great level design, weapons, uses doom engine (well pt. 1 that is) and the sounds...it was creppy for its time. The part 2 pic shown here doesn't look familiar at all! I thought Hexen was part 2?

You are right, I'm starting to remember now. Which I should because both these games + Hexen were some of my absolut favorite games in the 90's.
Heretic came first - Doom engine, and incredibly creepy sounds!! I remember these green or blue ghouls or demons making the creepiest sounds of them all (was it their death yell?). Made me shiver.
Hexen - sequel to Heretic, or at least chronologically it was. I remember it had more advanced graphics, with even leaves blowing in the wind and stuff.
Heretic II - the first screen I posted and made with the Quake engine. It was in third person and the elf hero's name was Corvus. But i dont remember how close tied that story was to the original Heretic actually. It even had co-op online. Didn't you play Heretic II?
And maybe there also was a Hexen II, Im not sure.

Yes Hexen has a nice graphical improvement over heretic, leaf detail etc. I'm trying to remember the ghouls/demon you're talking about that sounded creepiest. Tell me from here which one it is:

I never played Heretic 2....played Hexen 2 though....I'm trying to remember which one of the Hexens had more hand-based weapons?
but was Heretic 2 good? Sounded interesting with the Quake engine.
