it took years, but i eventually forgot how hilariously fun this game is. it's a rather tragic event that it happened it all, really, but all is well now. descent 3 is still just as engaging and immersive as it has always been, and now that i've bought a few decent control surfaces (and honestly, i really prefer dual analog, playstation-style controls for this) it's far more immersive. it's true; the plot is cheesy and ignorable, the visuals are more than a hint dated, and the "outdoor" portions of the game are regularly minimal and have an extremely low ceiling. who cares? if you enjoy flying around in corridors and blowing up robots, it's all right here.
