You done goofed.

If it was the sewer, you use the gate switch to go 1 - 2 - 3 - 2. 4 is optional and just has some ammo/health.

>>320106851
Steam version works with a bunch of fan patches or you could google DarkXL, a fan enhancement that brings it up to speed and fixes all the big problems while allowing higher resolutions and adding a few visual bells/whistles.
>>
>>320106368
fuck sewer level tho.

>>320107064
I recall XL covering Daggerfall and still being a WIP. How good is it for Dark Forces?
>>
>>320107224
XL for Dark Forces was actually finished bar some visual extras they never got around to.

Oh, wait. Kyle Katarn is no longer canon. He never existed.

Got it in one.

>>320106851
You can get it from GOG with Dosbox all set up, and it works fine.
>>
>>320107297

I recall some of the weapons not working and some of the enemy types not being implemented. I also felt that something was way off with the game because I was able to breeze through it with just the repeater rifle. Dark troopers? No problem, just stun lock them with the repeater rifle. I haven't played the game in its original form or in Dosbox, but I doubt the game is supposed to be as easy as I found it to be.
>>
>>320106527
Heretic was fun, but the weapons were literally just reskins of Doom weapons. The world needs more fantasy FPS games.

"Doom clone" is more of a shorthand for "2.5D FPS" than a pejorative.

Got up to the sewer level and gave up

I was okay with the sewer level, but fuck the Imperial vault in mission 10. Had to look up a guide for that one.
