Descent

When I saw all the saga in GOG, tears fell from my eyes. I used to play these games in a 486 DX and now, witch my AMD 1090t still enjoying Descent as it was the fist time I install it.

This game was great because of its join/drop on the fly support which makes it easy to set up and enjoy multiplayer carnage. This was one of my favourites to play on Kali and now thanks to DosBOX multiplayer is easy yet again

This is just simply one of the best games ever. As a single player game, its great........BUT, as a network game it is simply amazing and for me is still unmatched still to this day.

It's an amazing game - I first played it when I was around 13 years old, I had a warrant officer in the RAF for a step-father at the time and he kitted his PC out with a badass flightstick and had a nice PC to run the game on with a big monitor. At the time the graphics were state-of-the-art, they aged ok and wont bother you much. What you should be paying attention to is the rare full-3d movement FPS action that you get to experience in the game. The overall idea of the game is to find hostages, then using keys get through the colour-coded doors that lead you deeper into each mine/space station - until you find the reactor. (you'll want to find the emergency exit first) You then have to destroy the reactor - which is guarded by an ever more sophisticated defensive matrix, and when you do you get about a minute to escape the mine through the aformentioned and often difficultly placed emergency exit. Descent is a challenge when you sink your teeth into it, finding and upgrading all your weapons, and defeating some of the tougher mobile-reactor enemies late into the game will have you tearing your hair out or simply floating around outside their room waiting in fear as you listen to the thumping sound they make before they blow you to pieces.

Descent was and still very fun. Both 1 and 2. You are trapped in strange places with your ship, full of powerful robotics trying to kill you. Descent makes you try to survive in closed places, with a FULL 3D gameplay. It's so immersive that is hard to explain. Forget your problems, enter in your ship and prepare to face hell.
