I've never been a gamer. Except for Descent. And Descent II. I still have them and every few years play them on an old Mac. The queasiness kicks in every time I start playing them again.

Oddly enough I had no problems with Descent / Descent II, but Doom and Doom II wrecked me. I think it may have been because Doom's camera bobbed as you moved to simulate taking steps but Descent's camera was smooth when you moved forward.

You can grab the newest mods, linked from http://descentchampions.org/new_player.php , and find games with other people just about every day.

Not having heard of Descent, I was really hoping it was a game that consisted entirely of falling.

That would be Das Uberleben. http://teknopants.com/games/uberleben/

Also, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA [1]. It's a BASE jumping simulator set in a sci-fi universe where it's a huge entertainment sport.

Potentially looks like a grand vomitarium (and I am terrified of heights), thank you. I've noticed you can download it on the site posted, I'll have to give it a go.

Vomitarium doesn't mean what you think it does - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomitorium#Misinterpretation_o...

Interesting, the link you posted refers to a "vomitorium", as opposed to a "vomitarium". I think the latter is a modern colloquialism that hasn't yet been adequately defined, but it sounds great.

[0] is a good alternative.

Oh man, so many memories of giving motion sickness to my friends and parents watching me play Descent.

Grew up playing this game - thanks for reminding me of it :)
