Does anyone remember Descent?

I loved these games for the PC, man were they cool. I can't help but think with the technology available today what an incredible experience they could produce. With new lighting and rendering techniques coupled with vast tunnels that could span miles underground, it could be pretty damn incredible.

I know don't even know if Interplay is still around in any form, they have been in a lot of financial trouble though. Will we ever see another Descent game? It was such a cool concept for a game.

Anyone else out therea fan of the Descent series?

I just can't stop thinking about how cool it would be if done today. Tunnels collapsing under enough stress from firepower (and being able to kill enemies by bringing the walls down on them), being able to drill to adjacent passages, true lighting and having the pitch black darkness be as much a threat to the player as the enemies themselves.

They could do so much. If done right, I have no doubt it would seriously rock.

Too bad too, because it's probably never going to happen. Descent had more of a cult following anyhow.

I was an avid fan of Descent - I still remember back then while I was still in colleague, my friends and I would go round the computer lab and secretly installed the game on the PCs so that we can net play. Despite numerous warnings, we would still persists playing the moment the lab operator isn't around!

Those were the days .. :oops:

I did the same exact thing. Good times!

I think, however, that Decent was more popular because of its 3D-ness than anything else. I don't think that it wouldimpact gamers as muchnow that 3D is the norm.
