Yes, yes, the patch is very nice, very nice indeed.  On my Radeon, at 1280x960, \
Heretic is glorious!  (^;  I've been alternatibe between it and the Rune beta \
currently to satisfy my addiction.

I doubt it's looking, it's probably the original licenser, Activision I think.  Does \
it bother anyone else that most FPS's have invert mouse *off* by default, too?  How \
disorienting.

Here, here.  My current Linux play list now includes Rune, Heretic II, Heavy Gear II, \
Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament, Civ:CtP and SMAC (plus all the dinky games that \
came with my distro).  I barely feel the loss of the few Windows titles I bought in \
the last few years (I still wish someone would port Homeworld--argh!).
