You were amazed by Descent's fully 3D world.

You were thrilled when your shiny new 486 could run Descent at
then-playable framerates.

You were impressed by the smooth and fluid 3D graphics offered by
D2_3DFX, and likewise appreciated the D1X and D2X projects offering
even higher resolutions and frame rates.

Now, see Descent II like you've never seen it before--in ASCII! 
*color* ASCII, no less.

Just for kicks, I made a Windows console ASCII-art video backend
driver for SDL.  It works with d2x.  Download it here:
