The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/
How long was it there? Some years, i think

Oh my. I remember playing Descent on my Compaq Pentium 486dx. Good times.
Pentium ≠ 486
I had this on the 486dx2 66MHz. It ran smooth.
Stop bragging, not all of us can splash out the cash to upgrade from 386. :(
Well, to be fair, you wouldn't need as much ram as you do now a days....
Not the same person you replied to, but I first played Descent on my 386 too, but it didn't run truly smooth unless two upgrades and years later on a dx266. Same with Doom too, really,
I think you're memory is fuzzy, it was either a Pentium or a 486, not both.
We played it on a Mac Performa with like 24mb ram and maybe a 75 MHz PPC processor.
That and a starter’s Jedi game were the first FPV 3D games we’d ever played at home. (Someone had installed doom on the auto as compys at highschool).
I remember my first laptop, a b+w PowerBook 520 with 4MB RAM. I bought an 8MB upgrade for it that was $410. You think RAM is expensive today…
