Great game

This game is still as fun as it used to be. I recommend using DXX-Rebirth, as it enables high resolution (well of course models are still low-polygons), 16/10 aspect ratio and good controller support, while still retaining the original feeling. I personnaly play with the Xbox 360 controller and it's really confortable. This game is stil unmatched and really brings a lof of fun.

I really LOVED Descent:

To tell you all I have really injoyed playing this 1 again, Descent was 1 game that certenly bought back a hell of a lot of nostouger & memory's, vertialy all through playing Descent it just bought about emotional feelings of times past, how ever having played & completed (Descent 1) when playing (Descent 2) I couldn't for some reason turn down the damned music I could only turn down the FX volume but not the damned music, The music in D2 is so bloody loud that it drains out the FX sound in the game and also I even tryed to go to setup to try & turn down music volume but cant for some reason, None the less I.ve certenly injoyed playing Descent 1 though

WHAT?

you have never played Descent?! why not? this is a classic joystick arcade style game. blast away in 360 degrees of 3D space, upgrade weapons and missles and kill the bad bots. theres a upgrade on the net to put the game in true hi res 3D. (thanks for that GOG,) grab your joystick and download Descent 1,2,or 3 and have a blast. http://www.dxx-rebirth.com for the upgrade.

DESCENT LOVER

I had Descent 2 in my life I've been playing it a lot since I was young it used to belong to my big brother but I pay him for that game and it's mine, Descent 2 works on my win XP on disc but it depends of requirements that it may need to work on your XP computer. On 2009 I've ordered Descent 1 and try to see if it works on my XP but it was too fast and difficult for me to control and there is no sound at all which is not very compatible for XP so I tried playing it on my old laptop win 98 and it works great it plays musics but no sound at all just music :( on August 2009 I got a new Vista computer so I tried to install Descent II but had an error saying not compatible with the version of windows that I'm using and I think that game may not like the 64-bit Vista. Thanks to GOG that made Descent 1 & 2 very compatible for new modern computers like mine, I perches that game and it works pretty well not an error that will prevent me from playing Descent 1 & 2. If Descent II would have worked I wouldn't be able to end up looking at GOG and create an account.. Descent 1 & 2 are now stuck in my life lol but I might play my old disc of Descent 2 on my win 98 laptop and it works great on that too.
