The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/
How long was it there? Some years, i think

This and Descent are the reasons I play with an inverted Y axis to this day.
When I was in 8th grade taking Computer Applications, on Fridays the teacher would let us have free time and we would have 8-player LAN matches of Descent. That game was the shit.
I always played with a keyboard and years later I saw someone playing it using a fancy joystick and inverted Y axis and I was shocked at how much more effective it was.
Oh my. I remember playing Descent on my Compaq Pentium 486dx. Good times.
Pentium ≠ 486
I think you're memory is fuzzy, it was either a Pentium or a 486, not both.
I had this on the 486dx2 66MHz. It ran smooth.
Stop bragging, not all of us can splash out the cash to upgrade from 386. :(
Not the same person you replied to, but I first played Descent on my 386 too, but it didn't run truly smooth unless two upgrades and years later on a dx266. Same with Doom too, really,
We played it on a Mac Performa with like 24mb ram and maybe a 75 MHz PPC processor.
That and a starter’s Jedi game were the first FPV 3D games we’d ever played at home. (Someone had installed doom on the auto as compys at highschool).
Hey, those were the first two games I got to emulate - but including Descent 2.
