X-Com was one of my favorites along with Master of Orion.

I play trough this game at least once every year. Terror from the deep as well. Thi third one not so much, its still fun, but not so much as the first two.

Nuh-uh, Descent 3 FTW, kthxbye.

(Admittedly, it's not a DOS game...)

I admit to cheating by saving so I can reload when my high skills guys die. :-x

OMG!! Yeah man, definitely:



It was released in 1999. Wow, that's so long ago yet the game doesn't seem that old. It looks good even by today's standards (if you ask me).

IGN Review for Descent 3

There are three different ships each with their strengths & weaknesses, new weapons (mass driver is arguably the coolest though plasma is always my favourite in all the Descent games), very scary bosses, and even outdoor maps:



If you like Descent 1 and 2 but haven't played Descent 3, you should give it a try! You won't regret it! Also, do try the online multiplayer (though I don't know if there are any servers with people playing these days -- I'm sure there must be still). It's incredibly fun and fast-paced, and an excellent way to sharpen your flying skills.

EDIT: I'm sorry to everyone for posting pictures of a non-DOS game in a DOS thread!

The graphics do look good for a nearly 10 year old game

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know! I was a huge Descent fan (I shouldn't say was, I still am!) so knowing that the series continued is just plain awesome. And I'll have to +1 the comment on the graphics being good even by today's standards. Friggin spectacular. Dos game or not, this is a I-must-play-now game in my book.
