Description : This is a wide area beta release of the [...]
game HERETIC. The first three levels are
included. Note that this is NOT a final release
version, and may be prone to crashes or
unexpected errors.
Additional note : The system time has to be temporarily set to
December 20, 1994, to play the game. Otherwise
you'll get a (specious) "Corrupt WAD file"
error.
