Since you keep talking about Descent, here I have one question about the first one: is it rare with the original paper box? Just asking 'cause I can't find the first Descent with that big box, only different and "newer" boxes have I seen on the site.

I'm not sure. My copy of descent 1 is so old it's on 5 floppies and back then I tossed the box. I have the boxes for all others and they're all on CDs, including DLOT (descent levels of the world) add-on for D1.

Well that's because this seems to be the box for Descent:
(The art from the box is the same as the one from the manual, with the blue electric bolt)
...

Is that the one people recognise as the "original" box for Descent? Or is that the American version? I remember having seen one here in Luxembourg and the box was black with Descent written on it and it had a red vortex underneath it (more or less that's how it was).

I searched the Net but I couldn't find pictures about the different boxes of the Descent saga.

Do you also have the Descent2 Vertigo Add-on?


No thta I dont have, shouldn't that be Descent II The Infinite Abyss? Because I couldn't find it anywhere, So I though it was canceled en part three was well on the way.

Sorry I post a little, late, Normally I'd be in Austria Skiing, but I have a wierd virus, there are heavy swellings behind my ears to my cheaks, it is makes me feel very tired, dizzy, Migranes and balance stabillity problems.

So wintersports and other activities was't a good idea. The Austrian Doctor said that I had to take a lot of rest, no sporting and work aloud, so go'n home was my recommendation sad to say Sad.

But on topic again, I never heard of the Vertigo Version otherwise I would of have it boxed too Smiley The PyroGX on my case came from the Descent2 Box art, II looked at it for a few hours and then I put it away and I started to pencil it out and then fil it with Humbrol paint Smiley

Here the Descent2 Boxart I own:

...

Simply said Descent 1 & 2 are the best Midi based games for AWE based Sound Cards Wink

Well I made atopic for that:

http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=offtopic;action=displ...

This topic must stay clean for Soundblasters only Smiley okay mentioning games what play best on the sound cards isn't a problem Smiley I just don't wanna go too off topic .

Well the Aureal 3D cards were better than the SB live series, I don't know what happened to A3D? Anyone have a clue?

1) I'd disagree with the first statement as I have had two of them and one installed in a Win98 system caused all sorts of problems. The other is in an NT system and maybe more stable due to the fact there is no 3d functions under NT4. It might be related to driver available and might not, but that's neither here nor there since a card is useless without drivers.

2) Ran out of money, a pissing match with Creative Labs and lawsuits will do that.

Creative Labs purchased the company assets after they closed their doors.

Hi, it's an Asus P3B-F with 1 AGP, 6 PCI and 1 ISA for Slot 1 CPUs, but you can use an Slot 1 to Socket 370 Tualatin-compatible adapter, what makes possible to install Celeron and Pentium III CPUs with Tualatin core from 1000 to 1400 MHz. There are two models of adapters available, the PowerLeap PL-iP3/T slocket and the Upgradeware Slot-T, which is the one I own. I also have a Celeron Tualatin @ 1 GHz ready to run on another BX motherboard, an Abit BH6-II (1 AGP, 5 PCI and 1 ISA) with a second Slot-T adapter.
