Descent is why I invert my mouse in all fps games. I started with a joystick plus keyboard, because I was fresh off of F-19, the flight simulator.
Damn, I had never such a specimen in the wild.
Let's observe its behaviour 👀
For people who enjoyed Descent, you may enjoy Overload. It was created by some of the original creators and is also a 6DOF shooter.
Hell yeah, good times!
This and Marathon were why I almost didn't make it into University.
