Best game of all time for me!

This was the very first game addiction I had. I would stay up till 4am or all night just to play this. The multi-player back then was incredible. I don't remember the name of the service, but it was like Steam, but for old games. Me and several friends would fight each other for hours. Oh the memories. Bottom line, with the DXX rebirth open-source code this game is incredible. Just Google it, then download. Copy and paste and you're done, you can run them at 1080p. The A.I. in this game is among the best. Dang that thief in D2! You will have hours and hours of fun, and a race to find the exit:-) You will not regret this game if you purchase it.

Great game or greatest game?

I must have been nine years old when I first played this classic (shareware) game. Gog.com has become a case of, "You nostalgia, you lose..." That is, for those of you who use the internet...

Brilliant!

60 fantastic levels for less than a fiver! For those who've never played it before the basic gist is that something went down and you're the guy they've sent in to fix it. You've got to navigate your way through the mazes finding keys to advance to the reactor to blow it up, then you've got a mad dash to find the exit. So it might be worth finding the exit first. In your way are hordes of enemies that've gone haywire, so thankfully your ship comes with weapons as standard. And with a little exploration you can find even more than your bog standard Lasers and Concussion Missiles, like Quad Lasers, Homing Missiles, Plasma Cannons, Vulcan Cannon etc... There's also some items out there, for example to help you in dark areas find the headlight, or for a quick getaway get the afterburner! Descent also features some boss enemies, so there's a good deal of variety here :) The only downside is the speed of the mouse, it's very slow. But, for the price, if you like FPS', then you can't go wrong. It's just brilliant :)

Still The Best

It doesn't matter what I play over the years, nothing has surpassed Descent.
