Re: A question about an Old Skool Game on a new(er) system

Thank you for the feedback guys! After having issues with the initial launch I tried Piccu Engine and received this error message:

*UPDATE* I tried Piccu Engine and got a similar result. The first time I launched PiccuEngine.exe my screen simply went black except for the mouse staying active. I had ...

A question about an Old Skool Game on a new(er) system

A question about installing D3 on a new(er) system

Seems like it's still the same sort of deal. Lots of updates patches and re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-(etc...) releases of a beta version.
There was talk back then of a ...

Re: Questions about Descent: Underground?

Is it the official, sanctioned sequel to D3?

It's the official prequel. They have the rights from Interplay for the Descent name (but not the rights from Parallax for the pyro-GX or PTMC, which is why they made it a prequel.)

Will the plot touch on the source of the alien virus?

Thanx Krom. That's pretty much what I want to know. I have been reading alot about D2X-XL and I don't really need all the bells and whistles it offers. I just want to get Descent & D2 running on my XP box. :D

Stuck on L12 retribution (PTMC HQ)

HEELLLPPP!!!

I'm stuck in the start room in Retribution Level 12 PTMC Headquarters, I've bounced all the primaries I have off of both force fields and even 5 guided missles won't bring down the reactors making the tractor beam. I've played through this level b4 but for some reason now when I get ...
