I remember those days. Not everyone on here is old enough to have encountered that game.

Descent gave me nausea/motion-sickness like no other game.

I loved it! Trying to get out before the place blew up was always intense.

I bought all 3 Descents a couple of years ago on Steam. Had a lot of fun replaying those.

Mannnnn Descent was the sh*t. Definitely spent god knows how much time playing Descent 2. Services like Steam are such a phenomenal resource for olds like me who love to replay my childhood.

Descent is why I learned how to hook the computer up to our massive 27" Trinitron in the living room and bought a decent joystick, but it was motion sickness inducing after about 15 minutes at a time.

Seems like a good kickstarter deal. 25 bucks gets you the game. Am I reading that correctly?

Wasn't there recently and officially licensed Descent game that got funded on Kickstarter?

Edit- Yup there was. It's called Descent Underground and it's being developed by a small studio in Austin.

They were only doing multiplayer and most of the oldschoolers wanted a campaign. This project has the original development team and from what I understand, one of the old level contributers (who made Minerva and Tribute) was contacted to participate.

Backers already have access to the Overload Playable Teaser, and now is the time to make it available to everyone. Here are the links for the 64-bit (what you most likely want) and the 32-bit versions for PC:

This version is Windows only; our apologies to our Linux and Mac (and PS4 and XB1) backers. To play, just unzip the file and double-click on "OverloadPlayableTeaser.exe".
We've put his demo together in a hurry, and though we've done as much as we can to make it perfect, it still has some rough edges. And of course we're still very early in development -- we're showing off a few sample levels and some cool weapons and robots, but there's lots and lots more to come.
Please, share this with everyone! We want as many people as possible to get hands-on experience with Overload. We are proud of this project and feel the teaser shows the potential of where Overload will go with the right support.
We're also hoping you'll help spread the word about Overload and the demo by posting screenshots, GIFs,and videos (to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, & everywhere else) and using the hashtag #playoverload and our Twitter handle @PlayOverload.
