I don't know what it is about the Descent series, but I simply adore it, despite not being very good. In each of the 3 games, I played single-player until I could progress no further. The bots just started wiping the mines with me. And I was too stubborn to set the game to the lowest difficulty level. I fondly recall many hours playing it online as well. Ahh, my poor Microsoft Sidewinder 3D joystick has gone neglected and unused since this series' demise. I think I'm going to have to install Descent 2 (my fav) again, and see if there is a good OpenGL or Direct3D patch for it. -- Ped Xing
