The picture demonstrates beyond doubt that ghosts, despite being insubstantial, can still damage their bodies by wearing a corset incorrectly.

How do you dodge homing missiles successfully on Ace and Insane without the afterburner? I can dodge them on Hotshot without much trouble, not only in the original Descent but also in Descent 2 and D2X-XL, but every time I try to do it on Ace I end up getting hit by all three. I've only used the \&q...

Obama is more popular than Bush, so naturally you'll find more people attempting to silence criticism of the latter. Try saying a sniper should have shot Thomas Jefferson; I guarantee you will get a very, very negative reaction (although it will most likely be less \"racist bastard\" and m...

As with any such program you still need to be careful with your por--I mean, web browsing, but as a whole it should eliminate your need to pay for an antivirus. As for firewalls, I advise against ZoneAlarm. At one point it ...

I cannot get my D1 secret levels to work, either - as soon as I enter the level, the game freezes (this is with the original Descent in DOSBox). This occurs upon starting the level, not upon going through the secret exit. My exits and relevant triggers are exactly like the ones in Descent: First Str...

:idea: The best thing is to run wine from the terminal and see what's missing, since it normally tells you what dll it's looking for. NORMALLY! I'm trying to get a free game to run with no luck, at the moment... That was actually one of the first things I tried, but I just get an infinite number of...

Has anyone gotten Polytron32 to run in Wine? So far all I've accomplished is getting it to freeze at the splash screen.

I want to make custom robot models for Descent 2, but I do not have frequent access to a Windows computer.
