Hi... Going retro here too after reading this NG. I found my old DescentI and DescentII packaged in a trifold CD holder! I have also been downloading on eMule the Descent3 game and got this running on XP also. I loaded the recoded version of DescentII and have been checking this out for fun. All my old equipment is gone, ie: FlightStick! Keyboard only stuff now.... but it works and gave me a rush. Yes, Kali and online with those HUGH multiplayer rooms and trying to just stay alive for more than 5 minutes without getting trashed. Some of the multiplayer rooms I used to compete in were huge! A lot of fun and memories. H.
