I love that the game is still making it into articles 17 years later.

I love the ignorant writer who thinks there's no gravity on Mars in Descent, as opposed to there being a ship being levitated against gravity. Is this guy on heavy drugs?

Well to be fair, in Descent 1 and 2 there really is no gravity, at all.

no gravity, then there would be no anti-gravity ship bob!

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

That's an effect thrown in for ambiance.

But to be fair, I do think if you are running the original dos descent games at an astronomical framerate, your ship bob can potentially kill you.

I know the super-bob made me nauseous, at least.
