Words could not describe how amazing this is.
I remeber Descent. Me and my 2 best friends on the T-Bird PC of one of them, playing the game. We all agreed that it had amazing graphics ^^
And we couldn't wait where the descent would take us in the end. Somewhat stiff price for a game that old, but this one is really a classic, up with DN3D and Hexen.
4. Now.
Seriously, that's much to expensive even for such classics.
I guess they didn't even update a single thing.
2 excellent games not being worth 10 bucks? Well you can look around for something newer and better for less money but AFAIK there isn't such a thing.
Descent was a wonderful game and gameplay/controls were fantastic! That exact same game with 2012 graphics and more detailed map with outdoor areas would be great
