Civvie 11 had a good video on both Descent games.

One of the things I’ve always remembered about Decent was when you put in cheat codes it would play a little sound effect of someone saying “cheater…”

I remember getting punished by trying to use the Descent 1 cheat codes in Descent 2.

Descent was ahead of its time. Are there any modern games that are similar?

Overload. It was made by the old devs of the original Descent.

I think there are custom maps that recreate the original Descent levels.

Miner Wars 2081 has similarities. Same people who made Space Engineers.

Nausea has never been as fun as it was back then.

FYI, there’s a modern Descent-like game called Overload.

It has VR support.

Played the shit outra this and descent 2. Sad its gone, but it gave us my favourite space sim: Descent FreeSpace 1 & 2

I loved Descent: Freespace, but I liked X-Wing: Alliance better.

I never played Descent itself, but I played a shitty clone on one of those “1000 Games on 10 CD-ROMs” packs back in the day.

After learning about the source material, I always wanted to go try it but haven’t taken the time.

I played the shit out of this. I bet the controls are still hard coded in me.

bjoern_tantau, 3 miesiące temu

I remember spending hours configuring the controls to something I would like. Mouse aiming? Never heard of it!

All I remember from my scheme was that A and Z were for up and down. Orientation probably with the cursor keys. I know I had something on capslock and shift. Maybe forwards and backwards.

You rolled with Q and W, dude.

I used to play the hell out of both 1&2, but now my old brain can no longer compute the 360 movement in a claustrophobic environment.

One of the few games from my childhood that I don’t have a copy of on any modern library.

Descent was one of the first games I had to play, I remember it fondly. It came bundled with my family’s first computer (along with Lemmings and Simcity 2000) so I spent a fair amount of time on it. The freedom of motion you had in Descent was impressive - albeit easy to confuse yourself with - and something I have rarely seen since.

Fuck yes, Descent 2 was even better, with your small helper robot and even more cool weapons/rockets.

This game holds a special place in my life. Back in the 90s we had it on the family PC and it was so awesome.

Every once in a while I play it on DOSBox. I fully recomend it. It’s an amazing game.

PhobosAnomaly, 3 miesiące temu do games w Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter

Brilliant game.

Worth playing with the PS1 Descent soundtrack too for a different experience (or Descent Maximum as it was across the pond), it got me in to Type O-Negative too.
