Descent

The shareware version of MacPlay's Descent, a game by Parallax Software, is now available. Descent is a fast-action 3D game in which you pilot your hoverjet through mine tunnels in zero gravity in a mission to destroy each mine in a series of 30 missions. You can play network or modem games with up to eight players. The shareware version of the game lets you play the first three levels with most of the game's weaponry enabled, and one mode of network play enabled. Descent requires any Power Macintosh (or compatible) computer with a 13" or larger color monitor and 7000K free memory. (3000K of this free memory may be virtual memory.) You'll need 8000K free memory to play a multiplayer game. For optimal play, we recommend the fastest Power Macintosh available with 10000K free memory, with virtual memory off. Most Descent players enjoy playing the game with a joystick. If you happen to have a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC 604, you are in a world of high-res happiness. Enjoy, Bill Dugan MacPlay
