Addicted to Plasma Cannons? Well, I've got news for you...

In today's Ancient DOS Games Pro video, Gemini's going back to the first Descent game by Parallax Software and Interplay to investigate its arsenal and determine just how effective each of the game's ten different weapons truly are, and one thing's for certain... these results may be surprising! :o

Additional Information and Corrections:

If you want to try and tackle the resource file data yourself, you may wish to look at the Descent source code and go from there, which can be found at the following link. Again, be mindful that the raw weapon data included with the editor's source code is for Descent 2, not the original game: https://github.com/videogamepreservation/descent
