=== ''Heretic/Hexen'' (1994–1998) ===
''Heretic'' (also referred as ''Hexen'') is a series of first-person shooter games with action-adventure and action role-playing elements. The first game, ''[[Heretic (video game)|Heretic]]'' (1994), was one of the first games to feature inventory manipulation and the ability to look up and down. It also introduced multiple [[gib (video gaming)|gib]] objects that spawned when a character suffered a death by extreme force or heat. The game was the first in the "Serpent Riders" trilogy, followed by sequels ''[[Hexen: Beyond Heretic]]'' (1995) and ''[[Hexen II]]'' (1997). A direct sequel to the first game, ''[[Heretic II]]'', was released in 1998. Set in "City of the Damned", [[capital city]] of the [[dark fantasy]] fictional world of Silverspring, the series was one of the first to combine 3D realistic graphics with [[fantasy]] setting, using Silverspring and its people to enrich the narrative and exploration.
