Descent

Hello Dostalgicians!

We still haven't quite caught up with our schedule, but we're getting there. One step along the way is this episode in which we discuss Parallax Software's 1995 hit game Descent - the game we played back in March.

Martijn and Florian are joined by Elias ("pumpuli"), Rami ("JikissGamer") and Jonathan ("microwerx") in an attempt to save earth from an alien computer virus by blowing up asteroids. Sounds crazy? Sure, but it's also a lot of fun.

Loved this game as a kid, was the first ‘internet’ purchase we made back in the late 90’s, took weeks to arrive as it came from the USA to Australia, paid via Credit Card

Have the Big Box of ‘Descent I and II: The Definitive Collection’ which has D1, D2, Levels of the World, Vertigo Series and Mission Builder II on 3 CDs!

We played many many hours of 4 player co-op over our 10Base-T BNC network throughout our house 🙂
