Descent
Description
Prepare To Start Your Descent.
Sensory overload in 360° 3-D.
Welcome to Descent™ - 27 levels of the most mind-bending, stomach-churning action game ever. Featuring true 3-Dimensional worlds with light source shading, texture mapping, 3-D morphing, directional sound effects and sizzling music, this is technology taken to the limit.
Something has happened at Lunar Base I. The Post-Terran Mining Company has lost contact with the miners and none of the mining robots are responding. The PTMC has brought in you the Material Defender to deal with the situation. Your mission is to find any survivors and find the source of threat. You will start a journey that takes you from the Moon to Pluto. Best of luck Material Defender.
Lunge straight down mine shafts, twist around never-ending tunnels and fight your way past robotic menaces in an environment that's truly 6 degrees of freedom... move up, move down, shoot everything everywhere. Hang onto your senses (and your lunch) as you drop straight down mine shafts on a ride that'll leave you spinning.
And what's the good of losing your mind if you can't share the experience with your friends? Descent invites you and your buddies to dive into the action together with head-to-head combat and cooperative two-player modem and eight-player network support.
Get ready for Descent...

Best childhood game in history
I really dont know where to start. Everything about this game at the time was awesome, the story is great, the graphics at the time was great, and when I am ready to play a level, my adrenaline just pumps me up. You got swaths of super hulks that will rape your ship with homing missiles, Fusion hulks that will shred your shields and you have to seriously kill the bots as fast as you can before they overwhelm you. Along with Descent 2 and 3, the franchise is the best I have played besides Battletech and Homeworld. and I would play one of the 3 for hours and hours on end, and its just great. My father loves it, since he sees me playing it when I was only 10 and that was in the 90s when it was released. The gang from Parallax Games should be proud of this, along with their other titles like Descent 2 and Overload. You will not be sorry when you buy this. it is very addicting and will get your flex your reflexes.
