You could use WinUAE to set up an emulated Amiga on your PC.  Not too hard, not too easy.  Probably a couple days worth of work and research if you are completely unfamiliar to Amiga's.  IMHO, wasn't Heretic II originally a PC game?  Why not just run the PC version?

Excellent point, Mike.

Dude (WMR), just trade your amiga version for a PC one and skip the emulator.

I am really fun of Heretic II and i am want to look very very closely to every file and difference to PC version. =) Have PC Heretic II too.

There's some threads here and at EAB on getting the PPC emulation up and running.  Probably best to use OS3.1 - 3.9 and you'll need WarpOS too.

You are going to be sorely let down. IIRC the pc and Amiga versions are all but identical.
