Though I despise being in the same sentence with ZOD I still stand for my
actions from back then. I STILL think it's annyoing to have ppl around who
do not BOTHER to take a look at Google and see if their question already
has been answered which it most likely has. And NO, I don't see that as an
interesting discussion either. There are a lot of other Descent related
topics ppl could have been talking about to keep this group alive rather
than "how do I free dr. Switzer" for the umpteenth time. People are lazy
and spoiled.

Actually it kinda still is when you compare it to today's games simply
because it was almost perfect. Remember Doom's klutchy approach at
networking and how easy it was to join a game already in progress with
Descent? Well also had a nice screenshot for every save game to load and
the user friendliness of demo function is even better than Descent 3's. Add
to this the option to save sceenshots that you could view with the free
'pxview' and an amazing gameplay I'm not surprised ppl return to this game.

Another game from that era which I had almost as much fun with in terms of
gameplay was Duke Nukem 3D! I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a
nice new version similar to jDoom so I can play L.A. Rumble on a LAN party
with my friends.
 

I can't comment on the rest of your posting cause it's making me sad too...
