I wasn't able to find a video essay or retrospective about Descent: Freespace that I liked over the years, so I decided that instead of bothering other YouTube creators to make one I would just make my own. It's been an almost 9 month process, but here is a quick look at a classic space combat game that was an evolutionary step for the genre.

All game footage was captured on an era-appropriate computer (Pentium II-450, Voodoo2 graphics card, Sound Blaster Live! sound card). For details of the capture hardware I use, check out my blog post at https://physbryan.wordpress.com/2022/01/29/capturing-video-from-retro-pcs/.

At the end of the video, I mention the hour-long Freespace 2 video essay over on the channel A View From The Gallery. You can give it a watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=603XNClmuAc if you want a deeper dive into the sequel and the mod community that's grown around it.
