Im her, reading whatever comes this NG's way. Not much activity here 
though. Have experimented a little with D2X-XL the last few months, but 
I'm not putting in hours anymore....

Miss the good old days with modem, D2 an KALI :-D

Check out www.descentbb.net, there's still an active Descent community.

The D2X-XL is great. The version I have allows me to collect Cloaks and 
Invulnerabilities and then use them at will. Only on a 
per-level/per-life basis though. If I die, or if I don't use them before 
exiting, I lose them.

There's still some really great missions getting created out there if 
you look. D1 and D2 are the best for me; both were very dark and 
menacing. D3, while it is challenging, just didn't have that malevolent 
undertone like the first two.

I play D2-XL pretty much every day, I work from home and it's how I
distract myself from work for a few minutes every now and then.

Right now I'm having fun with "Dr. Moreau's Dungeon" 

Sometimes my son (23) and I play against each other, we're pretty
evenly matched. He has better reflexes but I'm sneakier.  :-)

I still lurk here occasionally.
I look in on the Descent BB, but I don't
like the web interface as much as the NG.

I am still alive and have been playing Decent since it came out right there 
with Doom. Using D2X-XL now, how do you view the map in Descent 1? What 
keys do you press to see the map?

Sorry, I don't play D1, unless you mean the D1 levels that were
converted to D2?  My regular map (TAB) key works fine on those.

Hi,
Iยดm reading this NG since 1995. Actually I do not play Descent anymore,
but Iยดm still addicted to the community.

Quite swamped with RL now, gonna try to play Stadium in D3 with some
friends on a LAN though.

Well, current version of D2X-XL hangs up on both my machines after
"closing down IPX socket".

I told you already: You can assign any key you like to the automap
function in the keyboard configuration menu (configure - controls -
keyboard). When you're done, exit the menus. Press the chosen key
in-game to display the automap. It works the same in D1 and D2 levels.
