Guess the info on internet (mostly reviews from the era) do not
correlate with user opinions from back when it released. I did not try
Heretic until 1997 or 1998 when I had my first PC (a P166 MMX, btw;
currently being repaired and retrofitted), but talking about it would
get me replies like "You are playing a pixelated game without polygons"
and "Why play that at 320x200 when you could be playing Duke Nukem 3d at
640x480?", from both the Quake / Unreal crowd, and the Build engine
die-hard fans.

I`m afraid I won`t ever be able to answer this. I did not try Battle.Net
until 2016 when the Darlening of Tristam patch came out.
PS: I do hope this time the text is getting correctly formatted to 72
characters per line. I just got into usenet News Group this week and I`m
still configuring SeaMonkey until I have time to learn how to use Emacs
properly.
