I remember that game! I was addicted to it when it came out. Wow, that was a long time ago.

Oh my god. Someone else actually plays this!

 

 

 

I had Descent on one of my uber-old Acer computers. God, that game was pure ownage.

I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways.

Didnt it evolve into Freespace? I could be wrong tho.

Seeing that screenshot brought back memories! Not seen that game for ages. It was good -- I don't think it would work on my computer these days, but there we go.

I was right. The team did eventually base Freespace on Descent.

 

aparently the code for Freespace2 was released open source and now there is a huge modding community. :D

Cool! someone else actually played that game! I played it straight from Descent 1 to 3 and the Freespaces (although they really played nothing like Descent ) I even published a few levels for Descent 2 :-) Descent 1 used to run great on the old 386's :-) My brother was unbeatable multiplayer, though. I would just spawn, run around, drop a black shark missile, and get flashed and end up in my own gravity well. You remember the sound that used to come up when the missiles locked on? I hated that sound :wall: The final boss in Descent 3 was pure pwnage, too :mrgreen:

When you are learning, you are growing. If you stop learning, you stop growing. If you stop growing, you die. Train hard, eat fried chicken, and take a one-a-day. (And cook that broccoli 'til it's yella and pour cheese all over it)

I got it as a present ages ago on my old computer, but I remember my computer being too laggy to really handle it. It seemed like it woulda been fun to play though. :P
