I'm a big fan of Parallax's Descent 1 and 2. Descent 3 was ok... but we could HARDLY find a computer to run it 100% correct and free from bugs.

In the Descent series, you pilot a ship through caves and underground passages fighting enemies. The game consists of VERY fluid motion... so fluid, many PC pay-to-play businesses kept trash cans next to the PC's because some people would toss their cookies :lol

There were many weapons to use... and the lan modes were fantastic (even over modem). Grindspine and I played MANY MANY games of Descent over modem back in 1998 and 1999. Fun times!

Anyone else remember this game? Is so... post up your memories!

Dude... LAN game Descent 2!!!

I know it'll at least run on Win 98 se. Maybe it'd on XP 32 bit in compatability mode....
 
i remember the startup screen and thats it i think....could never get it to work on mine...

i could be wrong.

I have a brilliant idea.... I have 2 copies of win 98SE... 2 old P2 266Mhz computers (I believe fully functioning)... 2 copies of Descent 1 and 2... and I say we try this sometime!

I actually have two copies of D2 as well!

I'm thinking this is a great idea... maybe sometime soon you can stop by and we can set both up!

Anyone else? post it up! I know more people had to play Descent 1 and 2.

Yes you do... WHERE did you find that and how did they make those games compatible with Windows Xp and Vista (32 AND 64 bit)?!
