Imagine my supprise when sending off my cheque three weeks ago and hearing
zip I can walk into any of the local stores and buy DESCENT! CD or floppy.


"Rushed out to beat Dark Forces" I was told. I was not a happy man. Suffice
to say I'll be canceling my cheque monday morining.

Oh you Parallax peoples. What have you done to my life. My shoulder aches,
my bladder weak. My ears are ringing.

For GUS owners, you're in for a treat. The music is much better than the
demo. It is the best I've heard from any computer game. Nice Peer Gynt
riff on level 8 (but there are some others you could have used to break it up).


What more can I say, 
Is out in the UK.

A friend of mine just returned from a week in Florida and claims to 
have seen Registered Descent in a mall.  I'm wondering if we're seeing 
organized piracy.

No, it's out. It's out. It's out. Registered Descent is out in the UK.
