Excellent port of an excellent game. Getting the UI to load in correctly, having better options in the menu regarding mouselook and whatnot, opening up the game to mods if you so choose, and making the whole thing work like a dream in Linux through Wine make this a kickass port. Well done!

An excellent Hexen II port keeping the original look and feel while providing the means to enjoy this "blast from the past" on modern machines.
