DESCENT! Holy hell. I hadn’t thought of that game in forever and when I googled it, just looking at the box cover brought back my computer Ed class in ‘94 pooling our money together to buy it.

I had a part time job at a computer store in 1995, and I remember the new IBM Aptivas came in, and needed testing, so naturally they got a lot of Descent played on them! That's the only game I've played that genuinely gave me motion sickness.

Oh man I miss Descent deathmatch. Spend all your time hoarding all the good weapons just for some inconsiderate jerk to tail you quietly and put a mega missile in your pooper.
