I have literally every title. Built a rig to play the new one, bought it on pre-release. Still no single player that I know of. /sigh/
MadLogTheGr8
It was awesome! And the soundtrack was pretty cool

Once you mastered the controls ...
ilavalamp
Played the original recently - I have no idea how I managed those controls. I remember it being natural when I was young but it's insane.
Sxualhrssmntpanda
Nope, no one else. You are the only person who ever played it.
RationalJellyFish
I did. I always lost my way.
perfecteye18
Seriously.. never got far but played so much
Mechame
It's available in a DosBox wrapper on GoG.com. (or if you want to configure it yourself, you can get it for free elsewhere)

Check out overload. It's a spiritual successor to the Descent franchise.

Check out Overload if you haven't. Spiritual successor by the same guys.
IdiotSavantTinker
+1000 on overload. It's descent in all but name.
whothehellelseusesTingjidasausername
Oh my god. On dial up with my buddy. Hell yes
rugheadrohit
This game made me nauseous for some reason, must have been the graphics, used to throw up and get back to the game again. Good Fun.
ChristopherTallant
Ahh, the first game I bought on GOG, excellent series!
Toasterbell
Descent was my first FPS and the reason I've had to invert my mouse on every game since.
Hybris51129
Anyone remember Terminal Velocity?
Comet260
It's on GOG.
Laeryc
still plays
dereklarsen
I bought the Android version for Christmas. Better than most other games on play.
leagueoffai1
I played the hell outta the demo on a PC Gamer CD.
lostlittletimeonthis
Had a demo with one level only but still had fun
Civikjm
Yep, another great oldie.
NordicusMaximus
Omg, SOOO much of this was played at LAN parties at my house. Loved the single player too.
notyoubizness
Remake is happening! https://descendentstudios.com/
mikenafein
Yes!!! It was so hard to find friends to play with whereas many felt vertigo and couldn't handle the 3 dimensions.
Fanible
There's a modern version of it from the same creators: https://store.steampowered.com/app/448850/Overload/
Razielim
I remembered playing Forsaken on PC, which is very similar to Descent (although hardcore fans of either will tell me theirs is better :P)
Jonsse
Descent: Freespace and Freespace 2 were amazing games as well.
beanswater
The new Rebel Galaxy game looks like a modern day Freespace game, I'm excited for it
BlazeZero
Shoutout to the modding community for Freespace, they've brought the game so far graphically. 1/2
BlazeZero
And Blue Planet is the greatest mod I've ever encountered.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
But not related to Descent. They added "Descent" to the title to help with sales and avoid copyright issues with the Freespace program.
Jonsse
Well no, but I like to think of it as a spinoff to the Descent series.
easygoes
There's a new Descent in development right now. Also, on Steam, there's a game called "Overload" that plays just like old Descent games.
BigPharma
another decent one i played was Sublevel Zero Redux. It's procedurally generated rogue-lite with the 6 degrees of freedom type controls.
Comet260
Overload IS Descent 4 in my mind.
Minaeitea
Played it for hours and hours and hours. finished couple of times. There is a remastered version on Steam. Does not feel the same
Sm9yCg
Descent 3 also had nothing in common with the originals.
thomerow
GoG also has a version with the original graphics.
IraqiWalker
If you're feeling nostalgic to the original, here you go https://classicreload.com/descent-2.html
vuvuzevka
As said, check Overload. You can also check the source port DXX Rebirth to replay Descent 1 & 2
durandle
check out https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/ if you want to play 1 and 2 again on a more modern engine or overload as others suggested
PeteB73
Check out Overload. It was made by original Descent Devs, they just didn't have the rights to the name. It's the real modern day sequel.
Maverick8778
It also supports VR which feels awesome if you haven't tried it!

Amazing cheat codes in this game. And guidebot was my homie!
StrategicWeaponsPlatformNineAndThreeQuarters
If you used them in multiplayer, the voice said "cheater!" to everyone else

I had forgotten about the guidebot!

My dad said Doom was too scary for me to play as a kid, but he let me play this because it was "A harmless little robot game"
bababa1234
I still have stress from this game. Destroying the core then getting lost while escaping the blast... uhhhggg
Delyruin
The first game I ever played was Fallout 2, my parents said it seemed "patriotic". Probably the worst read on Fallout before 76 came out.
KanyesGayFish
My mom made me get this instead of twisted metal 2
Geo80
How was Doom scary? Doom is the opposite of scary..... unless.... Are you a family of demons?
LiterallyNothingAvailable
Doom was pretty scary for a little kid. The Pinky Demon sounds used to terrify me
ThatGuyPerseus
I mean, Doom is pretty atmospheric and the screams and designs could be scary for young kids.
Piornet
I used to put Soacehog's "In the Meantime" on repeat and play this game for hours.
pterodactylrage
Yep. And I found out I get motion sickness easily. ☹️
Boatsntoes
YES!
groxx
My dad would watch me play, and slowly start swaying more and more, and eventually have to do something else :)
TargaX
2 years late, but yes! Got hooked on Descent. Bought D2 and D3 Mercenary also. Great memories!
ManOfKent1967
Damn, I had that game, was hard as metal. I tried to run it on my current W10 PC but it wouldn't work.
onefaller
I got it to run only to discover that it used the (lack of ) speed in the hardware to control the slight bobbing.
BigRedMonkeyButts
Can't you screw around with the settings in DosBox to slow it down?
durandle
better to just use a newer engine than the old dos engine on dosbox https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/
durandle
have a look at https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/
Beastikus
Anybody aware of the 2019 Descent reboot? Saw it on upcoming stuff for the PS4 today (no date yet) but kind of excited
JamProusersname
I might have to buy a PS4.
Beastikus
It looks a bit different gameplay wise. Look up the trailer and you'll see what I mean. Probs gonna buy it anyway
durandle
i have played overload a bit and the closest i have found to descent since descent 2
Comet260
Overload is better imo.

Try "Overload" from the original creators of Descent. (PS4/XBO/PC) https://youtu.be/l6rhz_I8KWE
Vishkiin
I forgot this game even existed..... thought it was a figment of my imagination. Been looking for it for years
NordicusMaximus
You can get Descent 1,2, and 3 on Steam
BigUglyBear
Remake comes out this year too.
germinvermin
The remake is shit! Original devs made Overload as a successor. Check it on steam.
SmurfEggs
I LOVE THIS GAME my dad and I would play together too I would be the guns and he would fly us out but I forgot the name
IraqiWalker
Here's an easy link so you can play it again https://classicreload.com/descent-2.html (game runs in your browser)
insanitywolfismysaneside
Same!
Salmonsmokedsalmon
Same here! Someone had out it on our computers in the school computer lab and we would play with a bunch of us all the time.

How can you forget it existed while simultaneously looking for it?
Vishkiin
Well, my teens I looked for it and couldn't find it. So I forgot about it and went o with my gaming life
natus
I have this memory of playing a game in the schools computer room around 1998. All I remember is a cutsceme where a small spaceship is 1/
natus
Flying along a canyon on what looks like Mars, towards a base with a big satellite disc in the center, and smaller turrets in either side 2/
natus
The cutsceme shifts into gameplay and it's sort of shoot em up / bullet hell style gameplay, but 3D. I have no idea what that game is or 3/
natus
If it's even real. All I remember is the shape of the ship and the look of the satellite base boss battle.
flamecoloredskies
Same!! I fucking love this game
candar
Holy shit I feel like a part of my brain just turned on
Cthulhukitten
Holy sshit, the same.

Same exact story !! Even asked my siblings, they all said it never existed.

This. Overload is amazing, do NOT get the Descent remake. Overload is the OG descent guys.
Youknownothingjonsnowden
Haha yeah and it's hard to describe the game without sounding a little crazy.
gorgeousninja
Yeah it’s like descent 1 but with better graphics... crazy
l009
Now days I swear this inspired things like Space Engineers.

Last time I played, I managed to get into online play. BUT only once. Damn Dial-up. ?

It had online!?

This game was trippy as heck. Made you think about your environment in 3D for reals. I've yet to hear of a modern attempt at the same.
