I have my copy of Descent3d that Loki did for Linux in '99 or '00...

I should get it all running again.

Wonder if I could project up onto our planetarium screen to play? :)

Wow! That was *the* game I played in high school. I spent sooo many long
nights playing Descent 1/2 with my best friend. Our parents didn't
realize we were tying up the phone line to play that game but it was
incredible.

Talk about fond memories. I've looked at it today and the graphics are
sooo cheesy, but hey, there is a remake and it is hopefully going to be
equally amazing!
