A friend showed me this site this afternoon, and the first thing that jumped out at me bigtime was this game. That said, I have just spent the last 45 minutes re-immersing myself in the game, and agitating the pizza I had for dinner in the process.
One of the things I was never able to do was use the "true 3d" visors/glasses/etc. that Descent supported in what I felt to be some of the best forward-thinking by a programming team to date then, and even now to a degree--nobody had 3d like that back then. Something I'm curious about is if it's possible to run this classic with them now, either with or without the new launcher (the hi-res one linked to several times in this thread). Anyone hear anything about if that's doable, or better yet, have first-hand experience?
Might be worth a look-up on eBay if nothing else.
