Everything Descent Related
Descent is an excellent PC game from the good old MS-DOS era, developed by Parallax Software and Interplay Productions during the 1990s. The main developers were Mike Kulas and Matt Toschlog (founders of Parallax Software), and the game was released back on 1995 for MS-DOS PC, Macintosh, Playstation and Acorn Archimedes.
It’s a First Person Shooter and 6DOF videogame, and it mixes some mechanics from classic Arcade shooters and Flight Simulation games. The player navigates a ship through rooms and corridors on futuristic space mining stations while defeating hostile robots infected by a computer virus.

Miscellaneous Descent downloads
D2X-XL is a sourceport for the classic MS-DOS videogame Descent 2 that allows us to play the game on modern computers using Windows 10 or 11, Linux and Mac OS X.
It features several enhancements like OpenGL graphic features, lots of new effects, high resolution textures, 3D modeled powerups, some gameplay changes and advanced modding support.
The Pumo Mines singleplayer mod and campaign is precisely designed for D2X-XL by taking advantage of all mentioned features.
Originally developed by Karx11erx/Diedel, development of this sourceport has continued thanks to Descent community member Arne/Arbruijn. Source code and releases are available through GitHub, but you can also find the latest Windows 64-bit version binaries mirrored on this website.
