I can tell you why I think D2X-XL is better than D2X-Rebirth: - It has all features the original Descent 2 has, and you can make it look from totally retro to fully filtered with a simple mouseclick - It has a lot more features than the original Descent 2 has - It has a lot optimizations making it run faster than any other Descent 2 version around - It is the most mature and stable Descent 2 derivate around (imo it is even superior to the original game as it fixes that version's bugs) - It's fully configurable in every aspect - Yet you can have it show a simplified interface and hide all the 'expert' options you will hardly ever have to fiddle with - You can play multiplayer games via the UDP/IP protocol, instead of having to use an auxiliary program like KALI - It supports two joysticks and and and Well, my Descent site lists all the fixes and enhancements it contains. D2X-R is way behind D2X-XL. Both programs started from the same D2X version, but D2X-XL did so 1 1/2 year before D2X-R. Go figure. ;)

Go figure. ;) Sounds very good :) I'm very busy unable to play games for long time :( When I'm ready no doubt I will play Descent 2 :)
