Hacx itself was generally unsuccessful; by the time it was released, the superior ''[[Quake]]'' engine that had just come out made the Doom engine pale in comparison.

Hacx was originally priced at $14.95 on a CD-ROM, and $20.95 on diskettes. The sprites and other graphics from Hacx have been reused in many other TCs/PCs since, despite Banjo Software having forbidden the use of Hacx's resources in other WADs.

Hacx has been ported to these platforms, based on the [[Doom Classic (iOS)|Doom Classic]] code, by the same company that also did one of the commercial [[Freedoom]] ports. Contrary to "Doomsday: Hellraiser", however, "Hacx Classic" is available for free, as the license for the Hacx content does not allow commercial distribution.
