“We’ve all heard of the game: Descent. In fact, the latest craze
from Interplay is Descent 3D, a brand new DirectX 3D engine
combined with the same play-style and maze-like worlds of the
original game. But who cares? They’re not releasing it for Linux.
What Interplay did do, though, is release the source code (minus
the third-party sound and network/modem drivers) for Descent 1.
Immediately following the release of the source, the Linux Descent
project was formed on muppetlabs.com.”
“The last release from this project was 0.21 (0.21 seems to have
disappeared – I swear I saw it somewhere) and proved to be fairly
unstable. Soon after, the D1X project was formed and they have
produced a fantastic port that runs almost flawlessly in Linux and
DOS while adding several enhancements. You’ll find all the
information you need for the D1X project at their homepage.”
