Random games that were kinda similar to Descent
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2016 2:27 amJust a random thought came into my head, there were some games similar to Descent that weren't quite as good.
Here's a few:
Radix: Beyond the Void
It was weird, you could fly, but you couldn't pitch up or down or bank. So it was more like DooM but being able to levitate up and down.
Terminal Velocity
Was actually pretty good stuff, but it was more of a flight sim type of thing. I remember having some decent modem-to-modem matches of this with local friends. But was never as good as the Descent games
I believe Microsoft Fury3 later used the same game engine.
Magic Carpet
OK, maybe this is a stretch, but in controls is actually closer to Descent than Radix because at least you can pitch up and down. I actually loved Magic Carpet, and played it a lot in the late 90's. At one point it was in my top 5 games of all time.
Forsaken
Here we go, an actual 6dof Descent clone. Too bad it sucked. I don't know why anybody would want to play it with a N64 or PSX controller. But I remember trying the PC version and not being very impressed.
Anyone got anything else?
