Wow, didn't know people still played Descent. It was one of the first multiplayer games i ever played in the mid 90ies over null modem connection with a friend sitting next to me as LAN wasn't that common back then. Good times :)

Not the first for me, but Doom 2 and Descent were the first one that have been successful in my circles. I remember having played Descent 1 and 2 for long hours, completing both solo and played Descent 2 coop with friends, then on a whim, tried to hop into Kali and tore basically everyone apart, as most people were clueless about 3D ambushes and dogfight mechanics.
The descent series were underrated, innovative gems. That D2 intro had some of the most memorable lines to me[0]. Still have the original (badly scratched) disc somewhere.
