Descent (PC) Gameplay

(Buy this at GOG.com
Now stop asking where you can get it)

Gameplay from the PC version of Descent, emulated in DOSBox.

Released during a time when PCs had some of the best and most advanced games out there, Descent took the one-man-against-a-legion concept and turned it on its head, by allowing you to turn yourself onto your head.

True "six degrees of freedom" movement, as they called it. The ability to fly around orienting yourself however you needed to, moving to and fro in all three dimensions. It was something big, something that was practically unheard of.

And the rest of the gameplay wasn't bad, either.

when I was a kid, like at age of 7 or 8, I still played better than the person playing this gameplay

@Propellinorsu I'm sure that there's some universe where someone, anyone, might care.

This isn't that universe.

Its hard to believe that this was what gaming once was and somehow it was way more fun.

@MrFudd87 Er. DLC didn't exist when this game was released. DLC is a blight on gaming.

Soooo many late nights playing this. Those days were way more fun than today's CoD games.

I always thought this was better than Doom (1 and 2).
