------------------------------------------

Those of you who've played all three Descent games will understand my... umm... "mildly psychotic" start to the video. ;D

Basically, Descent was billed as a "six degrees of freedom" game, in that you could move your ship along any axis and spin along any axis, giving you an unprecedented level of control, mind you at the cost of having rather complex controls for what basically boils down to a first person shooter, even when using a joystick. Definitely not a game for those who suffer from frequent bouts of vertigo. ;)

Additional Information and Corrections:

* THE DESCENT GAMES ARE BACK ON GOG! Here's a link to get Descent II for $5: https://www.gog.com/game/descent_2/?pp=91dfde1d6e005e422f64a59776234f1f4c80b5e4

* I am actually capable of playing this game on Hotshot skill. The only trouble is that the change in difficulty between Rookie and Hotshot is so dramatic that I die far more often on Hotshot than I do on Rookie, so I figured playing the game on Rookie would make for better footage. :P
