Play Hexen II with the Hammer of Thyrion source port
Hexen II was originally made for Windows 95, but it is difficult to get the game working on modern PCs. Before you're going to spend time figuring out how, there's a simple solution. A source port is available for many operating systems. The project is called Hammer of Thyrion. We've tested with HoT-1.5.9 on a 64 bits Windows 10 PC. Works like a charm.
Players face a series of challenges - Clear all the spheres! Kids also can elect to watch a trailer or clip from the movie, which earns them power-ups to use during gameplay. Read the developer's for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change. 
INSIDE OUT THOUGHT BUBBLES is a strategy game that lets kids match colored memory spheres to make them disappear.
So, what's the fastest way to get the game working on Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista or XP?
