Many an evening was spent crouched over my PC playing the original Descent. Back during an era where there typically weren’t that many vehicular first-person games (even the updated version of Battlezone came three years later), Descent was peerless, framed around the backdrop of rampaging robots and claustrophobic caverns.
Overload, a recent follow-up from many of the same developers, is built for a very specific type of person; but anyone who is okay with making a few retro concessions will be able to handle it.
