Descent

The title says it all. I really love this game! I just wanted to tell everyone to download and play this game using DXX-rebirth! It really brings this game to life!

I came upon an old Descent 1 disk when I was a kid without knowing what it was while checking out a friends collection of 'junk'. A year later I got my first working PC and tried it out. I was mesmerized. I remember playing it, winning at it and putting it down for awhile but I would ALWAYS come back to play again. I eventually lost the disk and I've gone through a few PC's since then. But now I finally get to play a gem from my past once more. And to top it off I get the sequel as well, which I've never had a chance to try out. Thanks GOG.com you're the best!

Great fun. This is basically a Doom-like FPS, only it's in three dimensions. Recommend fan-made enhancements to really get the most out of this (ie, better graphics). Sadly, later levels of Descent 1 get exponentially, absurdly difficult, and I haven't pushed past them. I'd still recommend this game. They haven't made anything quite like it since. Trying to make your way through the maze to the exit after you've set off the self-destruct is pulse-pounding and thrilling!

I think this is one of the best unplayed games from the PC. While we were all excited with Doom, and Heretic. It came Descent, which make the 3D experience fantastic. Challenging, action packed and great graphics and effects for that year make it truly unique. If you still havent place oh... you really are missing a great game of the gaming industry 5/5

I originally played both of these when they were first released on a 486DX2/50. Both of these games are classics and for less than $10 it is a steal. With the descent rebirth mod which was mentioned by another reviewer, which allows increased resolutions and many more options these games have been brought back to life.
