The commercial version of Descent. Essentially just more of the same, but this one has some technical improvements to the game engine and a pretty awesome CD-audio soundtrack. If you liked the first one, you'll like this.

It's also 640x480x256 and 800x600x256 capable. The higher-res artwork has new weapon graphic renders with differenting hues/contrast and I prefer those over the old VGA oens

I knew that, but the "superhires" option doesn't work in the shareware version, so I can't take a screenshot of the higher resolution modes.

The game's listed in the year 1995, but the full retail release came out around March 1996 and is mostly considered a 1996 game. This demo's an early preview
