Hi all

New to this place, but since a few DXX-Rebirth mates of mine advized me to go here as well, i thought like hey why not! Smilie

after some years of collecting and beng a Pyro Jockey since it all began on October 21, 1994 when the first Descent Demo rolled out I was hooked imedietly, and sicne then I waited for every part of the series to arrive but never thought about this collecting feeling which I started about 2 years ago and now it has turned into a Descent obsession some call itObi's Descent Archive and others a museum heh Smilie

Anyways name it what you all like here's some new pics and I want to thank alot of you for helping get a few of these rare wanna haves.





yeah it was kinda a puzzle to lay it all out after some fitting here and there and here's the funny part it's not even complete yet rofl!

Hi all

well I just received my 48th Descent item:

Descent Levels of The World MAC PLAY Sealed



I will have to redo that mega shot in the first post again lol haha, ah well keeps me busy Smilie

This item was very hard to find and then sealed, I have been looking for this item for about 3 years and a good 3 and half weeks ago it came true!

So enjoy the pics, click them to get the high res shots.


The ones I seek are these 5:

Descent: First Strike for MAC Boxed or Sealed


Descent II: Counter Strike for MAC Boxed or Sealed


Descent 3: Retribution for MAC Boxed or Sealed


Descent 3: Retribution for Linux Boxed or Sealed


Descent 3: Mercenary USA Box with Black Pyro art for PC Boxed or Sealed


For more detailed shots of my collection, feel free to take a good look around in my gallery, I am still redoing some photo's so some of the old ones will go and be replaced and of course new ones will be added hehe, so here it is:

Descent is like a true revolution in the gaming world, sicne it was the worlds first true 360 degree FPS game with real freedom, this made it so special, Descent 1 was more challenging that part 2, since the timer was alot shorter to get out of the mine before it blows up and no guidebot Lachen But man! I had those times that I almost shat my paints after exiting the mine with only 1 second left over haha Descent 1 level 6 is a good example, it scared me. Verlegen Mr. Green Mr. Green

hehe thanks mate!

Here is something I paniten 13 years ago on this Addtronics A6896-A Entry level Server tower and yes I still sue this as my main DXX-Rebirth rig Cool

Descent 2 Pyro-GX paint art:


FreeSpace 2 Paint art:


Descent is the first real game I bought in my life, my PC life began somewhat late, pre -3dfx era. When descent was previewed in PC game mags in october of 1994 I was like damn whata n idea! just fantastic! then the demo came on December 17 1994 on 2 FDD's , here my Descent 1 FDD gallery for the people ask what types were made, got both different FDD retail versions and the original Interplay USA Descent 1 retail ppreview demo and two others from two different 3rd party brands.
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/v/3dfx_collectors/collectors_goldleader/Descent/Desccol/D1/

And yeah when I ahd the demo I played iit every day in in evry mode until I wanted the retail, Doom II was hitting the shelves but it did me nothing.
Descent was the game to get and since day one I got hooked to it and the collection started taking shape back in 1995 just when Descent 1 went retail on CD rom and til now I keep finding items but I must admit it does get alot harder finding the missing items in perfect boxed or factory sealed format heh!

The Descent series has something no other game had of it's time which was 360 degree freedom in a FPS game with a space ship. The Idea was , is ans will remain avery original one, during the Descent 3 days Forsaken came some type of Descent 3 like game but it wasn't original and it was different but it just wasn't my way of saying hmm oke they more like try to copy the idea Parallax, Interplay and Outrage had heh, so i kinda left Forsaken aside.

The Joysticks don't count, they are hardware parts from Microsoft and not Descent based software or items from Interplay, Parallax Software or Outrage rofl. Just post your Descent collections based on the games, books, strategy guides, mouse pads, T-Shirts , Caps and other Miscellanious items from Interplay, Parallax Software or Outrage Software based on the therm Descent Winken

since the 3D-pro is the only proper joystick suitable for descent (even without usb), it counts.

hmm it's ajoystick that has good support okay but Interplay had nothing to do with it Winken Microsoft made it, so imho it's not something under the same category of Descent games, it's off topic for that part.

Post your Descent collections I don't read Descent on them sticks :')

Ebay was just a steal today just got these 7 items for 9.99 USD w000tness ftw! Lachen

http://cgi.ebay.nl/PC-BOXED-GAMES-DESCENT-LOT-STRATEGY-GUIDE_W0QQitemZ350232033693QQcategoryZ80328QQcmdZViewItem

1. Descent 3 USA Factory Sealed
2. Descent: Freespace: Silent Threat USA Factory Sealed
3. Descent - Anniversary Edition- 150 award-winning levels - Factory Sealed
4. Descent 3 Mercenary USA Boxed 100% complete
5. Descent 3 EUR Boxed 100% complete
6. Descent The Official Strategy Guide by Bill Kunkel. - Prima's Secrets of the Games. Clean tight spine
7. Descent 3 Official Strategy Guide by Mark Walker and Mike Emberson - Clean tight spine




Just bought some more Descent and Freespace games Winken

a rare Descent II Test Flight Promotional CD:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370210051167&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT


Conflict FreeSpace 2 Japanese boxed:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270431082341&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT


Descent FreeSpace 2 USA boxed:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380084372119&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT



The reason why I collect Freespace games, is because they played a major role during the Descent days when Interplay made them. The US versions also carried the Descent name, they were also created from the smart brains that created the entire Descent series.

Just too awesome hah! All items seem to be in perfect shape as well, as it seems.. the largest Descent collection known in the world has just gotten bigger Cool
