Our Pluto Mining Stations Are Now In Unknown Hands


Descent
Interplay (1995)
The classic science fiction first-person shooter Descent was released thirty years ago today.  It's one of two games on CD Rom (the other being Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure) that came bundled with the first computer that I bought for myself, an IBM Aptiva.  I'm not a big fan of first person shooters but I had a lot of fun with this game.


I can honestly tell you that the 14 year old version of me would not believe that video game graphics could get much better than this.  It's still a lot of fun to play in 2025.  You can get it today on Steam for less than ten bucks.
