Lloyd, you're the bomb-diggity! This upgraded version works like a charm. LOVE IT!

How do you use the Mac version: ZIP file is empty? If you don't want to upload an iso could you at least upload the data files (DESCENT.PIG & .HOG as well as CHAOS.MSN & .HOG) in a zip? Mac data isn't available digitally.

@PLAYER1 : You can save in the shareware game, but you can't do it in the middle of a mission. You have to finish the level first. Game runs ok for me in dosbox with cycles at 15000.

To those who loved descent I and II and would like to play on modern hardware and at modern monitor resolutions, check out http://www.dxx-rebirth.com. This is a port of Descent for modern hardware, for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It corrects bugs that the game had, and improves the graphics.

THIS IS THE SHAREWARE VERSION, which is not indicated here but should be.
You can't save, and there's probably a lot of other missing content. Great demo, though. It runs a bit slow in DOSBOX unless you set the cycles right. Crashes on my machine if set too high with direct draw for output. Didn't experiment with other settings.

I used to play Descent day and night. It was the most fascinating game of its time. I don't know what more to say other than I was addicted and loved the game. I haven't played in over fifteen years and was unaware that the game still existed. I have Windows 10 is there any way to play the game now? Are there still joysticks? Can't play effectively without them please help an old Descent junkie.

Owned the first 2 as both shareware and full version, played D1 all the way through more than once. Great games, great memories.

@jegas , you could try to edit the conf file in dosbox by double-clicking it and
then try changing cpu cycles from auto to max? just have a look and play around
with the conf file.
there are a few different things you can adjust but cpu cycles would probably
be the most important thing as far as the game running fluid, give it a try! you
should also be able to slow it down if it's running to fast by entering a numeric value(I think) although I have never tried doing that.

Abandonware has gotten into EA's line of money grubbing, most games have had there full versions replaced with shareware and GoG links added. Way to suck...

ZurkinWood4972015-05-260 point DOS version

Yes, this is the shareware version, but it got me into this old series. If you want a HD version of this, here's the link. (It's the same textures and sounds, but it keeps it at the original speed, and lets you make it 1080P, with some fancy OpenGL, Anisotropic filtering, Etc..) http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/

This game blew everyone's minds when it came out. Full true 3d. I remember spending a lot of time learning to interpret the wireframe 3d maps initially. Soon though you got really good at remember if you were right-side-up or down and if that meant you needed to go left or right. This game was one of those very few truly transformative games. It altered everything. It truly immersed you in a world better than any other game ever had. I spent so many hours play this and its sequels and love them to this day. Descent is a MUST PLAY GAME for any gamer.

Cannot get sound working on this. I checked the sound settings and sound is enabled both in the game and in D-Fend Reloaded.

Descent is absolutely my #1 game of all time. Singleplay was OK, but multiplayer was the real joy for me. So many memories over the years. From the early days of the shareware demo (Which actually came out in late 1994).. There was a bug in the demo where when you played a modem game, the sound would keep going 'POP, POP, POP, POP' about once every few seconds. Anyone remember that? I used to play modem to modem games with some of my local friends. Then, once the internet started cathing on, I signed up for Kali and started playing multiplayer internet games around late 1996, early 1997. There were some good players, and competition was fierce. Joystick was practically required if you didn't want to get stomped. I honed my skills during this time and got a lot better. The network code must have been pretty robust to be able to play smoothly over the internet at the time. It was awesome.
I took a break from the game for a while, but I remember having another renaissance around 2000-2002 and getting really competitive on the 1-on-1 ladders. My favorite levels were Minerva (of course), Athena, Thanatos SS.
I haven't played it as much in recent years, but I still have one friend back from the 'glory days' of Kali who I know still plays it competitively online. There's still a small but thriving community as of early 201
