-'''Heretic''', released on December 23, 1994, is a hit fantasy/action game by Raven Software, the result of their second team-up with id Software after Shadowcaster. Based on a modified Doom engine, Heretic pioneered an inventory system for real-time item use that has become commonplace in the FPS genre. id Software published the game under its brand. Like Doom before it, the game was initially released as shareware with the ability to call or mail in to receive the registered version. A later, expanded commercial release as '''Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders''' was distributed to retail stores by GT Interactive.
+'''Duke Nukem 3D''' is a first-person shooter developed by 3D Realms and released by GT Interactive Software on January 29, 1996.
