This'll Bring Back Old Memories - D3 Ad

[CajunAce]

Take a look at this image that I saved from the $50,000 D3 Tournament. I think it's from 1998 or 1999.

I'll just post the link because the image is 2mb. Note the names that Interplay used in the ad:

KoolBear, Proxi, Solar Flare, Maestro, Big Red, Descentile, Vizor, CajunAce, Kevlar, Bama, Specimen, Sick One.

I have the TV commercial for D3 floating around somewhere on my system.
Oh, hey, it's on PlanetDescent. check the D3 files.

And you're right Cajun, it does. Very cool find.

Who won that competition?

[zapp]

I would have, if I hadn't been up to my ears in dissertation...

Final match was a 4way I think w/ Birdseye and Fatal... can't remember who else. Fatal won with a black shark

[Wareagle]

Why is this in descent old school descent and descent 2 ?

[Ferno]

because it is considered oldskool now.
and those are oldskool names.

[BUBBALOU]

Fatal won with a black shark

actually, because he took the time to get the blackshark

BTW besides the IGN, I was the only one with a Video Camera at that event and they were not even paying attention to fatal to grab the ghost like expression he had when he won..and hostile behind him beaming

I should drum up that footage!@!!@#!

I was there, and standing over Fatal's right sholder when he got the win.

WHO? FATAL That's Who!!!! Reporting Live Descent3.net Saturday 8.28.99 - Bama

The Number One Descent3 Pilot In the World is none other than Fatal. Fatal is one of the 1st and long lasting Descent3 pilots from all the way back to Demo1 days. I have always called him friend and I was always scared to jump in the mine with him. He is awesome!! Yes I did not pick him as the winner, but I hung over his shoulder the whole match and as I watch him come from behind in the final minutes! I have seen a lot in the years I have been playing Descent 1, 2 and now Descent3, but this was a Cinderella match, Fatal who was the underdog did one hell of a job coming form behind to take the GOLD. I had a choice to stand behind any of the 4 final pilots in this match, I picked Fatal, Why< I don't know. may be it was fate, hehe Pun!

The room went wild when Fatal launched a Black Shark in the final 20 seconds of the game to cush his fresh new lead, wammo 2 more kills added to the score. What can I say? This guy is not only a great Descent3 Pilot, but one hell of a likeable dude, and I'm very glad for him. Damnnnn This was the best Descent Event ever.

Ok enough from me. The game file of the final 4 for $50,000. Geee Fatal can I borrow about $20K.
