Re:
I've never, ever heard this one before. Considering there was talk about small bits of code being borrowed from Descent, it also seems very unlikely.Spidey wrote:Descent Freespace was based on the Lucas Arts Tie Fighter engine (prolly the exact engine) so I would venture the Descent controls were not an option.

AHA! Me 1, Camera 0!
I have a Descent 3 little foldable thing somewhere for the Black and White Set, as well as a Jewel Case for D3 Mercenary somewhere.
Vertigo is of course a ghetto copy, and my original copy of D3 (Black & Pink) came in those paper pocket things.
Here are floppies for Descent I:
Here are the CD Cases I can find, and they are Descent I, Destination Saturn, and Descent II:
Here are the Descent books:
And finally, the Descent I and II manuals and boxes:
Mmmmm... camera glare

It has been avery long time I have been here heh, seems like I kinda lost this place, but the collection is still in an on going process, not as fast as a few years ago but yeah with 82 items in totals and an 83rd incoming from USA well i gotta say it is massive now
So last week I gave each album a new sub section, so here's the collection 82 parts as I have counted them all that week.
Here are the sub folders to all the parts of the collection:
Descent Series
Descent 2 Series
Descent 3 Series
Descent Combo Packs
Descent Linux Series
Descent Macintosh series
Descent Playstation Series
Descent Books
Descent Mini Posters
Descent Mouse Pads
Descent Misc Items:
Descent Freespace Series
Descent Freespace 2 Series
Descent Freespace Combo Packs
Descent Freespace Books
So there you have it all 82 items, some may ask why i collect these well, Descent & Freespace have very well thought original designs and sicne day one they were released as demo's I got hooked to them and wanted only more and more and now this is my result, collecting these games has always been on my mind first you like it alot then it becoems an addition then it becomes an obsession, no matter the more I can find the greater the thrill!
This just feels awesome by the day !

Oh, the D3 Dual Jewel edition has the coolest box ever (though it's not as big as it looks).
I got it from a friend for christmas 2006 (after I gave him my old D3 CD's, which worked on his comp but not mine). Now we both have the game (and play each other in Vortex or LAN regularly).

The following items will be added to the collection, they are all in transist from USA to my place, in NL.
The Interplay 20th Anniversary Edition is finally achieved and obtained
http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... eName=STRK
Finally it is Mine
Also these parts are on their way:
The Framed Descent II Featured Magazine Cover Piece:
An Interplay envelope
The 3 CDR's (Scratched out Pre-Release or Beta-Release, Descent 1.0 burned disc, Beta/QA disc)
Stay tuned for more my friends of DXX-Rebirth, because with this there will be some Interplay goodies added as gift
They come from the Interplay office, when it was shut down in 2004, thx to some nice contacts I was able to buy these original host CD's of the first ever printed on CD Descent Software as you can see it's Disk 0, thereby meaning this is the first one made with Descent 1.0, this was the game that went final this CD is the host and it's the only one in the enitre universe.
The other CD-R's also have Descent 1 and 2 alpha & beta software on them and they are also the only in existance in the world, the wall mount hung in the hallway near the Descent II segment of the interplay head office and the Interplay envelope is also from that main office building, this is in iotherwords the host software, where only one of exists, that are these ;D
Yeah this is where the heart of collecting just get's a tad more exciting, once these wonderful items arrive, prepare for a great photo shootout, I might even try one of them Descent beta's with DXX-Rebirth 0.56

Re:
Meh , well over here in the European union it's not really seen as a friendly post nor compliment, you lack confidence and manners towards that of other nationalities, A I am not American, B I am Dutch/Australian/German so my english isn't like yours, it's different, thus my reply.Spidey wrote:Rubbish? Screw you…that was actually a veiled compliment.
Although you must do what you feel is right of course ...
Good guess comrade, I am a European with a half Australian background, but also partually German.Isaac wrote:Hehe... I'm starting to believe that almost all conflicts stem from a miscommunication.
My English is deffintely not American nor South American, it's European with an Australian accent, so what he typed came over as a strange and not welcome post, thus a miscommunication, probably, I am not sure though.
If I am not welcome here, please say it and I'll leave, as such thongs go, I have become very simple when it comes to such choices, hence I don't have time for flame wars with rectums on the net, simple and plain.

I just learned today that in Europe a thong is not known as wedgie-underwear for girls, as it is in proper English. They call sandals "thongs".Gold Leader wrote: as such thongs go

It seems you lack alot of confidence from that of others, you only care for your self, how embarrassing for the crowd, is it not?
Rather unusual to be honest, this is the only website of all other 40 where people are being rashional...even more uhm interesting...
