  Agree here also.  Descent is to Doom what Doom was to Wolf3-D.
  Descent is the first PC game I've come across with a true 3D engine
in *practically* realtime (depending on your hardware).

  But you've seen Heretic right ? The Doom engine within another game.
The Descent engine is destined to become a part of other games as well.
The only mods needed are gravity and possibly something like ladder/elevators.
Not a big step for an already advanced engine.

  Being someone who likes Doom, lemme tell you I like Descent even more.
If you haven't seen it, get it.  It has some rough edges still, just
as Doom I did, but with a little touch up it will reach Doom-like popularity.
