HERETIC

[gif/heretic1.gif]
Heretic is based on the DOOM & DOOM2 engine and is structured like DOOM. There are now Yellow, Blue, & Green Keys and added adventure game like selections with the [] keys to run through an inventory of items you pick up that include wings (Enter key to select them and go up). The command line parameters are much the same, but the active keys (Cheat keys) have changed. If you try to use the old cheat codes it will say Cheater and drop you out!
It is using the old DOOM Level system M1 (MAP1) through M9 for each of 3 Episodes of E1 through E3.
Also the same SET DMXOPTION=-opl3 or for headphones
SET DMXOPTION=-phase in your AUTOEXEC.BAT will get you stereo sound if available (SBPRO and better boards).
The better weapons (Save Morph Ovum) and monsters appear starting on Episode 2 (Registered version). It is available on CDROM (which is how I got it).

Episode 1 : City of the Damned

E1M1 The Docks

[gif/hrtca01.gif]
Your basic docks, you do have to go into the water sometime and there is a current, a heavy one at times that you have to fight against to get some of the stuff you want (and need to complete the level). You start with a wand (weapon 2, above) and staff and add cat claws (alternates with staff for weapon 1) and in time pick up a crossbow (weapon 3 in top picture).

E1M2 The Dungeons

Here you get your first shot at wings and I believe you need the Green, Yellow, and Blue keys to make it out to The Gatehouse.

E3M9 The Aquifer

With the destruction of the iron liches and their minions, the last of the undead are cleared from this plane of existence. Those creatures had to come from somewhere, though, and you have the sneaky suspicion that the fiery portal of hell's maw opens onto their home dimension. To make sure that more undead (or even worse things) don't dome through, you'll have to seal hell's maw from the other side. Of course this means you may get stuck in a very unfriendly world, but no one ever said being a Heretic was easy! The mighty maulotaurs have proved to be no match for you, and as their steaming corpses slide to the ground you feel a sense of grim satisfaction that they have been destroyed. ...More to come...

Totally Unauthorized Cheat Codes for Heretic.
by Robert E. Waring

Guess you would like to know how to cheat in Heretic, well, 
don't type iddqd, you've probably figured that one out by now.

and if you have any problems, or questions, 
drop me a note at 73252,1413.

The Heretic Cheat Codes

Note: Just type these codes in while playing, you will receive the benefit immediately. These codes only work on the first 4 difficulty levels, the 5 level is like the nightmare mode in DOOM & DOOM II. The Code What it does kitty = Toggle Clipping - Walk through walls, type it again to turn it off ravmap = Shows entire map in map mode (Hit tab for map mode) type ravmap twice shows where all the monsters are type ravmap a third time to revert to the original. massacre = This kills all of the monsters on the current level. skel = This gives you all the keys rambo = This gives you all the weapons and 200% Armor! quicken = GOD Mode. You can't be harmed ponce = Full Health shazam = Weapon Power up (Tome of Power) lasts for 30 secs. engage = Level Warp. i.e. engage12 would take you to the second level of the first epidsode. gimme = This gives you the other Heretic items from a menu. It will ask for an item letter (a-j) and a quanity (1-9) i.e. gimme a 9 This would give you 9 invincibility rings. You then use the items from your inventory using the [ ] keys to select it, then press enter to load the item, press enter again during play to use the item. Here are the letters for the gimme command a: Ring of Invincibility b: Shadowsphere (Partial Invisibility) c: Quartz Flask (Purple Vial, gives 7 chain links of health) d: bad input (havn't figured this one out yet) e: Tome of Power (Black Skull Book, gives your weapons superpowers! f: Torch (Light up dark areas, duh.) g: Bomb of the Ancients (If you lay one down, move away fast!) h: Morph Ovum (Turns the enemy into a chicken) - The little chickens will attack and peck you, kill them! i: Wings of Wrath (You can fly!) j: bad input (havn't figured this one out yet) And finally, ever wonder what Heretic looks like from a chickens point of view? Type cockadoodledoo This turns you into a chicken for a short period of time.
