Re: Decent game
Decent game. When Windows 95 came out I was playing Descent. The original. At BCIT a friend of mine had found a place a place on the LAN to store the install files. So we could walk into any computer lab and be up and running in a matter of minutes, since everything would be wiped out over night. He almost got kicked out for similar shenanigans, but ended up quite successful, deservedly so. Anyway.
I had my keyboard set up with my right hand on the number pad, 2,4,6,8 to turn, 0,1,5,3 for up/down left/right thrust. This was one of the first truly 3D games and oh man I could do tricks. Anyway.
Left hand - Q for forward thrust. A for reverse thrust. I could do reticulating spline barrel rolls around anyone. Spiralling geostationary orbits over any target. I dominated. Ctrl for lasers, and cheese and tap dancing rice Alt for missiles. Never could find any other keyboard combination that worked so well. Life has been downhill since then ;)
