Hexen

Hexen: Beyond Heretic is a first person shooter game developed by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive[?] beginning on October 30, 1995.

It uses a modified DOOM engine, which allows (like in Heretic) up- und down views and a network play with up to 8 players.

Hexen introduced the "hub system" of level progression in the genre of first person shooter games.

Raven Software published the source code of Hexen in 1999.
