All in all, descent is an excellent game, I'm still twisting and turning in my  
sleep. But...

1. Many of the machines we use for death matches do not have sound cards.  
Descent has plays no sound at all over the PC speaker. This is a major  
disadvantage. You can't hear doors open or people shooting at you. Even if it  
didn't sound great, the audio cues are necessary.

2. I wish there was an adequate death match level. Something that has a very  
large open area with some obstacles and mountains to fly around. It needs to be  
at least 20 times larger than the open area in level 2. That is where some  
wicked dog fights could take place.

3. There should be a way of turning up mouse sensitivity. It takes too much  
mouse travel to rotate the ship. Especially in the up-down directions.

4. Not having a "save game" feature is incomprehensible. We are running this  
game on computers with hard disks, not game cartridges in set-top boxes!

Despite these complaints, I've purchased a copy, and I hope you will too.

There are many levels perfectly suited for Anarchy in the Registered version.

The mouse sensitivity slider is included in the 1.1 update for Shareware
(coming soon).

The registered version will include a very cool save game feature.

Thanks for the feedback, we're always open to ideas/suggestions.  :)
