I'd actually never heard of Hexen (as far as I can recall anyways), pretty surprised at that one.

That made me want to play Hexen.

At that time most were getting games in those big retail cardboard boxes with the cool artwork at times, physically going to stores and browsing, and I happen to come across that one in a collection a bit later in the isle. You can get a closeup of the box images here Heretic, Hexen, and the addon or some were finding them through reading print gaming magazines rather than just an online search these days and recommendations as today so many of those games even popular may be under the radar for a lot of people. Still have the gaming magazines as well.

I'm surprised because the Heretic/Hexen franchise was quite popular in the 1990s. I think they were the first to introduce a destructive environment and Hexen even had a choice of three playable characters - fighter, cleric, mage. That series was more fantasy-oriented, unlike DOOM's SF roots or Wolfenstein's WWII.

Dont forget Heretic II and Hexen II. And a lot of those games were also moddable so they had amazing value. Eventually expansion add ons were made and then collections of the mods came out for the dooms, heretic etc and I always picked them up whenever I found one. For heretic there was Maximum Death for heretic for example I have which has 1,600 wads (games as mods). I was just looking around and seems some of these collections are downloadable at least so you wont have to hopefully track down those hard to find collections if desired. Maximum Death For Heretic
...So let us know in about 100 years if they were all good :ROFLMAO:

Re: The Legend of Zelda in Doom, there are actually some others as well if you want to check out some doom mods based on video games (rather than the huge amount of just good doom mods)



Too bad those games on Steam didn't receive the same enhancements as the classic Doom's (controller support, widescreen, framerate/animation interpolation, etc.).

At least most are now available on steam as they arent recent games, and its good when some are enhanced as well making them worth a rebuy sometimes when you have elsewhere. Buying doom classic complete for steam I got doom, doom II, final doom, and master levels for doom II. Doom 64 is also on steam which was on the Nintendo 64 but enhanced now. I have mainly tried GZDoom for some enhancements and not many others or source ports etc.

Explains why they didn't get the same love unfortunately :LOL:

Really?! It' was a very known in the past, not as much as Doom ofc. It was really innovative to have a Doom like game where you can choose between 3 characters and use magic!

Those big retail games boxes were so cool just to put on shelf and look at it lol. The Hexen box was so popular and you could not notice it on game shelves. How beautiful it was!

Now thats more familiar ;)

I was never a fan of shooters...even then, IDDQD/IDKFA kept me playing DOOM...and my first home PC could only run Wolfenstein and QBasic :LOL:

I still don't know what model that PC even was, it was before Windows and had an xtree like folder system on it above DOS...and it was an IBM/AT 286 (IIRC) but that was before I got into specs and hardware.

Thanks, you gave me an idea and I tried it, and it worked.
So, CTPAX001RUS dropped some codes in Keydrops (all gone) for "Dr. Smith/Psychiatrist Simulator 2: Prologue"

Normally you track down the numbers on SteamDB and it comes up with this:
!addlicense asf 901975 👈 Doesn't work, won't add game to account.
!play asf 2508280
👆The first command is used to add game to your account, second command to fake playing it in ASF (to farm cards/gain playtime)

I tracked down those numbers by clicking "SteamDB" after using a code dropped by CTPAX001RUS (Keydrops)
https://steamdb.info/sub/901975/ 👈 Clicking "SteamDB" takes you here.

Dr. Smith - Retail.png

!addlicense asf a/2508280 👈 This time using the /a switch, I now believe it stands for "Auto" or "Automatic", it figures out which package to add to your account that will let you play the game (but it uses the "Play" number to figure out which one is the "!addlicense" number)

919675 is the magic number, but it seems like the Developer did something weird to add it to your account and used the "Play" number.

So you can use that ASF code (above) to add it to your account, or the steam URL version below:

steam://install/2508280 👈 Do this to get the game.

Store Page:
store.steampowered.com

Psychiatrist Simulator 2: Prologue on Steam

Take role as Dr. Smith, psychotherapist. Game consists of real people video recordings. Talk with them, treat, learn about psychology. Your choices have consequences, at the end of the game, after all dialogues you will see summary. Prologue version.
store.steampowered.com store.steampowered.com

Note:
You will find it in your Steam Library under the name "Dr. Smith" but the Store Page calls it "Psychiatrist Simulator 2: Prologue"

Demo ID number: 901994 👈 You'll notice the Demo version uses a different number, so I'm pretty sure you're not getting the Demo. :D (y)

Idk what you guys use to check whether and which games you own from a supposed list, but today I was told about this thing compare.tinychan.net
I tried it out for myself, you just paste the list of game names into it and then you get it made into categories like Found games, Ambiguous matches, entries that weren't found and I hope it supports fuzzy matches too, didn't check for that.
