| Sound Options in Heretic + Hexen. |
There're a lot of things I could say about Heretic + Hexen re-release, and I'm not sure if I'll end up committing to spilling these thoughts into the void, but there's at least one topic I want to cover separately because I think it's both interesting and important. What started as a mere observation of absent OPL3 version of games' soundtracks turned into discovery of wrongful presentation of music's "Original" option in what seemingly is a vague topic.
I'll start off with notes about current soundtrack options in the re-release and how the likely reason behind Nightdive Studio's mistake was generalization of music in Doom Engine games and then dive further into what version of soundtracks for Heretic and Hexen are closest to the 'intended ones'. Even if the actual chances of this being corrected is extremely low, at least PC players have something to work with to account for this on their own.
