Decent 2 works on a vista? if not in wich does it?

[DEIVION212]

The GOG version does, because GOG fix them up and sell them with permission.

Just google GOG :)

I remember play this when I was a little kid, I would love to go back and play it... If my computer can play such an old thing.

[DEIVION212]

That's why I love gog, 'cause I can play my old faves on bigger better machines :D

There's a little patch for Decent I & II to make the engine OpenGL ready. By today it doesn't really matter when it comes to the framerates. But it's kinda nice to have smoothed surfaces (Trillinear filtering / Anisotrophic). And to be capable to use AA on the game.

Just query in google for Decent OpenGL

[DEIVION212]

Will do :)

the original score was much better. this was my first video game, we got a macentosh performa that came with it around 94-95

@Undeadspiral I am pretty sure DXX Rebirth also works, and if you have an old descent disk you dont have to buy the game again. Works with D1 and D2

The reason for the mouse being not sensitive enough is because the ship has a turning speed limit in the first 2 games, so you can't turn around instantly.

Man, these games were awesome. Looking back now, god i don't remember those graphics being so awful.

descent 2 is my fav

I used to make levels for Descent 2 (because 2 has a larger enemy-selection and such). Great game, and I had loads of fun with it as a kid, even though it can be quite confusing to navigate sometimes.
