Descent DXX-Retro Downloads

Catherine "Drakona" Darrow maintains the source port of Descent 1 and 2 known as DXX-Retro. The current official version is 1.3.

However, there are two experimental versions currently in the wild that are considered to be stable versions, and are used in both DCL and Descent Rangers games. One is compiled from the official source and is labeled as version 1.4X3.

The other version is 1.4X6, a new experimental version that introduces an all new observer mode. This mode allows you to observe multiplayer games, allowing you to fly through walls and see everything going on.

You can download these experimental versions here. Note that only Windows versions are currently available. All of these downloads are licensed by the D1X-Rebirth License.

Latest Experimental Retro

Latest version: 1.4X6

Retro often undergoes rapid development, and as such there can be nightly builds that add features and fix issues found with the game. You can get the latest version at https://ronc.li/latest-retro.

Former 2 time world champion DogPlayingTetris becomes the first player to ever rollover the level counter in NES Tetris, performing what's known in the community as "Rebirth". Final score: 29,486,164, 4216 lines, level 347 (256 + 91)... all huge world records.

I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask?

Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask?

I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.

Today was a special day. I scored 1,016,221 points in classic NES Tetris, the first time I broke the 999,999 maxout barrier.

With that maxout, I became the oldest person to get their first ever maxout at 46 years 319 days.

After I scored that, I learned that today would have been 7-time Tetris world champion Jonas Neubauer's 43rd birthday.

I am FILLED with incredible emotion tonight.
