Descent 2

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.

I used that play on LAN with the Voodoo 3D patch all the time. These games were what started me off in the Flight Sim universe. A great game with Great Action!

The only thing keeping this from five stars is that Descent I looks, well, crappy on my 19" widescreen. I really wish it would support higher resolutions! Either way, these are classics for a reason . . . they are excellent.

I've waited quite a long time for an opportunity to play the Descent series once again. Thirteen years ago, the first Descent game was the game that made me the gamer I am today. If it wasn't for this game, I am certain I would not have taken to games the way I have. For years I've been searching for a way to relive my original experience, even going so far as to restore the original computer (which failed miserably) I played it the game on for the first time when I was 7. All I can say now is, I wouldn't be surprised to see my grades start to slip and my friends to start worrying. I haven't been this excited about a game in a while, and this one is more than a decade old. If you're like me and you want to relive your old school gamer-dom, by all means do it! It's a nostalgia overdose! Now to find a way to get my ancient Sidewinder joystick to work again...

This was the first real shooter that I ever played on the PC. That game amazed me in every way back in 1994, where 3D graphics were completely unheard of. The entire concept, the level design, the sounds and music; all was incredibly satisfying, and with 30 massive levels of entertainment, this game lasted me for quite some time. Although I never had a chance to experience the epic eight player online battles, the user-created maps kept me going. D2 was even better, by adding new gameplay elements, better graphics, and absolutely bizarre weapons, enemies, and levels, D1 & 2 made Interplay my favorite publisher, which was further enhanced with Black Isle's Fallout in '97.
