So, I played this a game TON when I was little on my old 95.
I got this game again when a friend of mine gave me his old 98, is it legal to copy it onto my flash drive, so that I can carry it around with me? P.S: Let's start an abandonware petition over this! |

By the way, do any of you guys have issues with the mission briefing text being black? I know I do, but it might be because of my pinked-out CRT.

I've NEVER seen that happen before. Grab D2X from here, anyway - http://www.descent2.de/

the high res textures just don't feel as good as original descent.
i'd try running with different tools. so if you're running on dosbox try vdmsound, or if you're running on vdm sound try dosbox. if you aren't running any of those, definitely try dosbox

??? What textures have YOU been running it with, russ? I know that only the original PIG file textures work for me. Anything else and I don't have enough RAM.

He got the game as(/within) a present and wants to copy it on a flash drive, and that's illegal? You have to live in a very quirky country.

It's even legal to give copies to good friends (free of charge, of course - material costs not included). All clauses prohibiting that or the installation on more than so and so many PCs are null and void. An exceedance of non-infringing share has to be evaluated in any single case, whereat it is rather looked for the modalities of the sharing and the intentions of the accused.
