Descent   1994
User rating: 8.5 DOS Shareware (partial game) 3D Shooter
Developed by Parallax Software Compatibility guide
Published by Interplay

You pilot a space ship that moves 360 degrees in all three dimensions in this famous shooter. You work for a mining corporation whose bases have been attacked by an invasion force that is heading towards Earth. The manufacturing facilities have been adapted from building mining robots to develop a robot army. Your mission is to move from mine to mine, destroy the core and escape before the entire mine is obliterated. Originally planned as an Apogee shareware title, the shareware version contains the first 7 levels and is missing a few of the weapons. The registered version has 30 levels.
