A legend that can't be matched

Descent is one of those games that could only have happened in the early 90's. The mechanics of the gameplay while not unique (collect key, open door, blow stuff up), the way it's all controlled is. The 6 degrees of freedom is being quite literal. The likely hood of motion sickness remains high to this day. Because this game is flight based, many will say it's only really playable with a joystick. However, with just the right combination of keyboard and mouse it plays excellently. The graphics are revolutionary for 1995, 3d polygonal graphics a full year before Quake. A full 3d map for when you get lost in the mines that you can view at any angle, etc etc. Really when it all comes down to it, Descent is a fantastic action game for the ages, challenging, exciting, rip-roarin' fun. Prepare for your Descent.

Nostalgia

The Descent games were some of the best of the 90's, the freedom of moving in a true 3D environment was an huge leap forward in the PC games genre. I have fond memories of hours of single player, multiplayer and especially coop gameplay, how much more immersion the sequal added with the different camera views, mercury missiles and even more multi player modes.

Pure Goodness

I've always regretted the day I got rid of my Descent games. Being able to reacquire them via GOG.com has made me a very happy man. Not only do I get to enjoy the series all over again, but I get to do it for only $5.99! That's the deal of the century! Installation was quick and painless. Thanks GOG.com for preserving such a classic!

How can they not still be making these.

Seriously, 360 shooter is awesome, how did games like Halo and other such popular shooters not have a space level with 360 controls.
