Hi all


On December 17, 2012 , this year, Descent 1 will meet it's 18th Anniversary, this is the date the game officially launched as the 3.5" FDD Edition.

Within the EUR it looks like this:

This day we shall host and play Descent 1 based games only, other versions of Descent like Descet2 & Descent 3 series shall not be hosted nor played.
That people still play an 18 year old game always surprises me greatly, this day will be seen a major one within the entire Descent community and I will pass this on, in almost every forum I am a part of, to draw the greatest attention to this great day, one many of us shall never forget.

So hereby I am looking forward to see multiple games being hosted on that day and night.

Happy Flying everyone and keep your wings leveled!

Along with this event, I am looking to compile a list of maps (especially classics.) Eventually I would like to put them together in a zip for convenience purposes (so people aren't searching for files all day/night)

So far I have the following -
Anarchy
Minerva
Vamped
Athena
NYSA
Fusion Farm
The Manes
Neptune

Co-op
D1 Original Campaign
Descent Vignettes


**Taking suggestions

Don't forget Neptune. That gets played a lot.

I'll also take this chance to shamelessly advertise my level: Mercury Lava Fields

I I'd prefer to play your level over Neptune any day mate!

I also have a Co-Op in mind to platy the entire D1 Campaign and the Vingettes one

Great! Looking forward to. I think I'd enjoy a coop game in the original D1 maps.

hehe anytime mate and that is also part of the fun day, the D1 Main Campaign Co-Op run I call it the Kessel Run xDDDD

I'm hoping to get a map of my own done so we can play it as well

New maps are always welcome , I'd be interested to see what you can come up with Enzo03

I am compiling a pack of my best / most played levels right now - should be posted soon... I would love to have a couple of them played that day also. Near Xmas is a busy time for me though, being a school band teacher, and Mondays are work days... I might have Tuesdays off this year however, so a late night on Monday might be possible for me. Advance scheduling will be a good idea.

*fun note: that time almost exactly coincides with 20 years since I first started hanging out with the girl who is now my wife... she had to start sharing me with Descent a couple of years later :-)

As for that map pack of yours Big_rat? bring it on mate! Always welcome such things!

Well I could make it a gaming week, a D1 weekend, thereby starting off on December 17 and going on 2 or 3 days in total or so
Really I don't mind, since I have all the time in the world for such things, unless I end up in hospital heh, I hope not, my illness has been rather bumpy the past few weeks.

Although I can't forget my one love weez1990
Though playing Minecraft with her is a must for her and I alike

But yer with these game events I can make her some lovely videos of us in action too! She always love watching us in action

hey Celestial

as far as classics go, don't forget:

Tribute
Jolt
Grace
Kaotix
Megadeath
Zodiac

and, of course,

Total Chaos

Indeed Tribute & Total Chaos bring me lots of memories hehe! Great mix Big_Rat!
