I'm 19 years old, almost 20. I've been playing Descent since age 9, LAN D1 on the school's old Mac computers ... I remember how totally AWESOME the Mac soundtrack was back then ... the industrial metal sound was a huge influence on my musical tastes.
I also remember playing D3 on the school LAN in grade 9 ... one of my teachers was a Descent fan too, and we had the D3 demo, and he destroyed us all pretty easily ...
I have hilarious memories of trying to download that D3 demo at school. Our internet was slow enough that the demo would take at least 4 hours to download. I tried so many times and so many ways, sneaking into computer labs between classes, leaving the download overnight, not logging off my account to keep things running ... I got in trouble more about Descent 3 than I did about ANYTHING else in school. But I finally discovered some exploit in the system that let me log off and still leave a download running ... and the rest is history.
Fast forward a few years, and I'm still playing Descent. I've collected pretty much the whole series and a few related games ... I've got D1, LOTW, D2, Vertigo, Maximum, D3, Mercenary, Freespace, and Freespace 2 ... pretty much only missing Silent Threat. Freespace 2 has to be the best game EVER made, with D1 coming a close second.
And I have the entire Mac D1 soundtrack as mp3s
