QuaKeD Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Did anyone remember Descent or Descent2? Well... there's a patch that will let you play with your current card (if it supports openGL). The old descent2 only supported video acceleration through 3dfx, under DOS. But this guys made a port that works fine under windows, and you can play it again! (in my PC, it worked full screen, but on another PC, only in Windows mode) There are some strange bugs, but I could play it fine. It will be good to remember the old times (1996) Take the dust out of your D2 CD and start playing again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I remember them. They were a lot of fun. Did you not like Descent 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidic-e- Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 damn if I still had my d2 cd I would play it again. Loved d1/d2 D3 was rather stupid though :( Oh well wonder if I can find d1/2 again. /me goes looking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Wow, that brings back memories... Descent 1 was awesome, never really played much of 2 or 3 though. Might hafta dig them out, thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted February 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 1, 2004 i liked 1 and 2. never got around to 3. i honestly have no idea where the cd is now. that's impressive that you can find a cd thats like 8 years old. good organization skills :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuaKeD Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 I didn't like D3... the ship control was totally different from the other two... it was like, kinda laggy. It's hard to explain... never got used to it... D2 is one of the funniest games to play in multiplayer! I remember I spend entire nights playing it with friends... ahh the good old times... *sighs* :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitjel Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Wow! This is some of best gaming news I've heard in quite a while. Descent was actually the second PC game (behind Doom, of course) that I really enjoyed, way back in the day (1994?) with the original...nice find!

QuaKeD Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 that's impressive that you can find a cd thats like 8 years old. good organization skills :p Actually I don't have that good organization :D It's very funny, because there are three old games that I keep toghether. One is, of course, Descent 2... the other two are Quake 1 expansions packs, Scourge of Armaggon and Dissolution of Eternity. Those three games are just too amazing to throw/sell them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMan Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I love Descent 1 & 2. I used to be in a Kali league for Descent 1. Sedriss: ROTT was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 i had the trial version of descent 1 on my first computer, an IBM Aptiva. that is when pentium 100mhz was blazing fast and a gigabyte hard drive was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ timko ] Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I used to play Descent 1, when it first came out, on the school LAN with some friends and some technicians at lunch times . Quite fun indeed. I eventually got hooked into creating levels, the DEVIL editor was a bit fiddly but later revisions did make some things easier (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
