Review

one word: disorientating

add onto that how for me, im so incredibly bored of first person shooters of all kinds, after 10 years of them... that playing one thats so boring = like watching paint dry!

well thats part of the descent cult - no newcomer will enjoy an old game like those who did when it came out and was revolutionary - it was for its time but you wont understand that.

it was a cool game because it was challenging to the mind -
if you complain about that then what can I possibly say to insult you more than you just did yourself.

And I blame people like you for sequels that totally suck -

All the challenging elements made the first game feel like you are left to your own devices to succeed
reading the map - and while trying to figure this out you get the shock of your life when something comes at you from nowhere and starts shooting or slashing at you..

getting lost - trying to get out in time and many times make it on the last second (or not at all)
all provoke emotions and an imersive gaming experience.

Only games of requiring (at least) this mental caliber made me feel immersed and is why I say its one of the best games ive ever played.

What possible fun can you have if you judge a game by how it looks and how "easy" it is to play

Rather judge by how it makes you think and feel

I actually loved replaying a bit that game, unfortunately in my memory it was better. It still is a good game.

It's a good game, but I never was really good at it. Always ran out of time because I couldn't figure the full 3D out. Map was confusing me, for example. Nothing like a normal one, which's made to find your way.

Superb game but i also never finished it. The later levels where just too weird. Did anybody played Descent (or one of its descendants ) with vr googles?

You can get a 3dfx patch for descent here

how do you run this? I'm using windows ME so the dos box is still a feature but when I run the .BAT file it just tells me my available memory.

Ah, this reminds me of freshman yr of high school. Would play this game every day during my lunch period. Great Find guys! I've been looking for a full version

That means that you didn't activate enough memory in DosBox. Open the file dosbox.conf and look for that sentence - memsize=XX under [dosbox] (XX is the amount of RAM in MB). Just change the value XX to 64 and all should be fine (I hope).
