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...

A Wonderful game from my childhood.
I remember, whenever I visted my fathers old work (Not going to give the name, but it was a lighting company) in one of the old cubes, at lunch time, they'd have 8 player Descent and Descent 2 Tournaments. This game really brings back memories.

One of the BEST shooters
Descent was a mind blowing redesign of the shooter game. But Descent 2 was even more exciting and addictive! Pure 360 degree freedom on all six axis! It's an insane rush to mow down hoards of killer robots while more hoards of killer robots are shooting at your from above, below and directions you never thought of. A must have for every shooter fan!

Great games and amazing soundtrack
First two part of one of the best FPS games series ever created. Freedom of movement with 3d enemies and great variety of upgradable weapons makes this title a must have for all fans of a genre. Also Descent 2 introduce a great soundtrack that will never get old! Just try it and, believe me, its worth it!

Classic Game
This game is a genuine classic. One of the first, if not the first, game to have a completely 3D environment.. This, along with 6 degrees of freedom puts Descent and Descent 2 on many top games of all time lists.
