Man, Descent 2 was the mad s***... I've just been playing Forsaken lately, similar.

I just had a look around for II - it's not in abandonware status yet as it's still easily attainable in the US, but I came up blank as for how to obtain it here.

I thought abandon warez would have it by now?, they deal with all the old classic games all the way back to dos and aplle ii e. I downloaded Armor Ally / Rescue Raiders a while back and never thought I would ever get my hands on it.

Descent and Descent 2 are both open source, and the trademarks were cancelled.

and yet they refuse to host it.

HOTU is the first place I checked.

Can you provide a link to a compiled version?

powerslide (by ratbag)
POD - (ubisoft)
NOX

we played Descent pretty much all of our year 11 and 12 PCM classes because we'd finished the planned work in the first month

On a side note, anyone have a copy of the incredible machine 1, expansion, 2 or 3 ? ... My cd's appear to be scratched beyond use.
