So there you have it all 107 items, some may ask why I collect these well, Descent & Freespace have very well thought original designs and since day one they were released as demo's I got hooked to them and wanted only more and more and now this is my result, collecting these games has always been on my mind first you like it a lot then it becomes an addition then it becomes an obsession, no matter the more I can find the greater the thrill!

Also I collected these artworks and 3D renders

Descent Artwork & 3D Renders
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD Renders

My latest achievements were these:

Descent3: Mercenary USA Pre-Release Factory Sealed + NOT FOR RESALE Decal under the seal on the box Smile
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD NOT+FOR+RESALE+decal+close+up
Click to Enter!

Great and many thanks to a good friend of mine from USA for this one, a gift of many words 8-)

The Entire Freespace Collection as it is of now lol!
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD 520
Well, that was Freespace so far, it's smaller than I thought it would be, but very interesting none the less.

The latest addition was this interesting package from from MasternX a guy that has a contact with one of the cleaners that worked @ Interplay HQ back in 2003 to 2004, when it was being cleared after it shut down Smile
So here's the parts in a one shot:
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD Interplay+Descent+Office+gear

That frame hung in the Interplay HQ Office hallways, them CD-R's are host software of Descent 1 and 2, the one with the scratches is the Descent 1 Alpha disc, this is where it all began before it was going final, the one from 1996 is the host disk for Descent Anniversary Edition me thinks hence the date of the disk, unless some Interplay Employee's can help me out here!

Anyways this came to me all thanks to MasternX from this website:
http://forums.my-collections.eu/
However I left that place some time ago, somethings didn't feel right, ah well no matter, sometimes it's best to leave a place before all hell breaks loose Cool

Okay here it is, only two items missing within the uber shot, which is the Interplay 7 level Descent Demo USA mini boxed:
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD ID1Demo

&

BytingEdge International Inc. USA Descent 3-D Air Combat 7 Level Descent Demo
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD BEIusad1dem

And they are within one of them many boxes and no I am not gonna do this again, since I just tidied up rofl, So to relay it all for just two lousy items? uhm no rofl lol!

Here the entire lot:
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD The+entire+Descent+-+Freespace+collection+520

And only the boxes which is like 70% of the entire collection:
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD The+entire+Descent+-+Freespace+collection+boxes+only+520

Anyways it's Ultra HUGE! And yeah it's bigger than I though it was really! Crikey it even scared me rofl Image Image

So yeah, since October 24, 1994 til this very day, it was well worth doing and yes I will keep on collecting if I come across something I don't own yet, don't worry my friends, it will keep growing as long as I keep finding new items to add to it Cool

The only ones I seek now are these in boxed or factory sealed condition:

Descent: First Strike for Apple Macintosh:
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD Descent++For+Mac

Descent II: Counterstrike for Apple Macintosh:
Meet The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection! xDDDD Descent2+for+Macintosh

So yeah it's pretty much complete now 8-)

Anyhow as the last half year goes, I have had mixed feelings about all this, of like selling it, but hey after at looking on what I have gathered all them years, I have decided to keep it all for now, it is a unique thing after all right.

Descent like Freespace means life to me as retro games go, they probably were two of the best game types ever to be created in the entire gaming history cheers
