zgrillo2004: We need a status report from the guys at Parallax on whatever or not they can re-release descent here.
It's Interplay that is in charge of releasing it on here. The problem is, Interplay hasn't payed Parallax the royalties they owe them. So Parallax told Interplay to stop selling it (since they were in breach of contract by doing so), and so they were removed. It's VERY unlikely they'll ever come back because Interplay is all but bankrupt (or is it actually bankrupt at this point?) and their relationship with Parallax is rather strained.

They may never come back as Interplay-published titles, but I think some users here are wondering whether, as a result of the breach of contract or of Interplay's bankruptcy or maybe other reasons, Parallax could permit them to be sold here without patching up the situation with Interplay. Maybe Parallax could terminate the contract in a way that lets them become their own publishers, or assign it to some other publisher that behaves better.

It would be easy enough to do so by themselves if they owned everything. Problem is that they don't, as Interplay still owns the Descent trademark and the audio, so unless they patch things up with Interplay or find a way around those two issues (legally or technically), the games won't be coming back.Post edited April 10, 2016 by Grargar

I have a question for anyone who can answer it, I downloaded Descent 1&2 off of here before it was taken down. I just started playing it again and realized there was alternate levels within the file folders. However, I cannot for the life of me find any information regarding how to access the Descent: Levels of the World files and play them. Any help would be appreciated.

The Levels of the World expansion wasn't included with the GOG version, because they didn't have the rights to sell it.BoxOfSnoo

Levels of the World isn't that great so you aren't missing a whole lot. It's only been sold as a physical CD.ppw0
