I actually loved replaying a bit that game, unfortunately in my memory it was better. It still is a good game.

It's a good game, but I never was really good at it. Always ran out of time because I couldn't figure the full 3D out. Map was confusing me, for example. Nothing like a normal one, which's made to find your way.

Superb game but i also never finished it. The later levels where just too weird. Did anybody played Descent (or one of its descendants ) with vr googles?

You can get a 3dfx patch for descent here

how do you run this? I'm using windows ME so the dos box is still a feature but when I run the .BAT file it just tells me my available memory.

That means that you didn't activate enough memory in DosBox. Open the file dosbox.conf and look for that sentence - memsize=XX under [dosbox] (XX is the amount of RAM in MB). Just change the value XX to 64 and all should be fine (I hope).

Great game. Spent a lot of summer afternoons playing :P

A remake of Descent (like Doomsday or QuakeGL) would be nice
