I'm pretty sure keeping the landscape deformations in sync between 12 people playing online is quite a challenge.

Red faction multiplayer is still going well after all these years, there's still servers and people. The same goes for descent 2!

The PS2 version only had 2 player local multiplayer, as far as I can remember.

All this talk about Descent makes me want to play it again. Especially if it's been upgraded for Windows XP.

Just picked it up on GoGamer for $5!  And I don't really consider it a shooter b/c of the freedom of motion and the fact that you *can* play it very effectively with a joystick or joypad- something you can't do with a shooter IMO.  There are new and different things you can do without gravity, but some of my favorite maneuvers in flight sims are still possible and do work!  Especially in those big chambered rooms...

I dug out my Descent 3 CDs and I'm getting a Cyclic Redundancy error at the very end of the install process. :(
