Hey guys I need help. I have 2 versions of the original descent. On floppy disk and I also have the Anniversary edition. Unfortunetly, the Anniversary edition cannot be updated to 1.5. It comes as version 1.4a. So I figured as a work around, I'd install the floppy version, and just copy over the missions from the anniversary cd. Well here's the problem. Disk 1 from the floppy set is trashed. Some sticky crap got in it somehow and it's useless. If anyone would be able to post the files from the first disk, i'd really appreciate it. Or if someone has a fix to upgrade the Anniversary edition to 1.5, that would be even better. Thanks!! Jonathan

I don't think there are any other differences between 1.4a and 1.5. >Jonathan RagManX
