Descent Freespace was based on the Lucas Arts Tie Fighter engine (prolly the exact engine) so I would venture the Descent controls were not an option.

There is a cheat code that lets you play with Descent style physics.

I've never, ever heard this one before. Considering there was talk about small bits of code being borrowed from Descent, it also seems very unlikely.

AHA! Me 1, Camera 0!
I have a Descent 3 little foldable thing somewhere for the Black and White Set, as well as a Jewel Case for D3 Mercenary somewhere.
Vertigo is of course a ghetto copy, and my original copy of D3 (Black & Pink) came in those paper pocket things.
Here are floppies for Descent I:
Here are the CD Cases I can find, and they are Descent I, Destination Saturn, and Descent II:
Here are the Descent books:
And finally, the Descent I and II manuals and boxes:
Mmmmm... camera glare

I've got Descent 1, 2, and 3 saved on my HDD in .rar, so I can unzip and play them in seconds!
I have Descent 2 with box, Descent 3 OEM, Descent 3 Mercenaries box, and a Descent 1 demo disc. They're at home, so I can't take pics.

Oh, the D3 Dual Jewel edition has the coolest box ever (though it's not as big as it looks).
I got it from a friend for christmas 2006 (after I gave him my old D3 CD's, which worked on his comp but not mine). Now we both have the game (and play each other in Vortex or LAN regularly).

Great and many thanks to rottentreats for this one, a gift of many words
So there you have it all 83 items, some may ask why i collect these well, Descent & Freespace have very well thought original designs and sicne 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 alot then it becoems an addition then it becomes an obsession, no matter the more I can find the greater the thrill!
The following items will be added to the collection, they are all in transist from USA to my place, in NL.
The Interplay 20th Anniversary Edition is finally achieved and obtained
http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... eName=STRK
Finally it is Mine
Also these parts are on their way:
The Framed Descent II Featured Magazine Cover Piece:
An Interplay envelope
The 3 CDR's (Scratched out Pre-Release or Beta-Release, Descent 1.0 burned disc, Beta/QA disc)
Stay tuned for more my friends of DXX-Rebirth, because with this there will be some Interplay goodies added as gift
They come from the Interplay office, when it was shut down in 2004, thx to some nice contacts I was able to buy these original host CD's of the first ever printed on CD Descent Software as you can see it's Disk 0, thereby meaning this is the first one made with Descent 1.0, this was the game that went final this CD is the host and it's the only one in the enitre universe.
The other CD-R's also have Descent 1 and 2 alpha & beta software on them and they are also the only in existance in the world, the wall mount hung in the hallway near the Descent II segment of the interplay head office and the Interplay envelope is also from that main office building, this is in iotherwords the host software, where only one of exists, that are these ;D
Yeah this is where the heart of collecting just get's a tad more exciting, once these wonderful items arrive, prepare for a great photo shootout, I might even try one of them Descent beta's with DXX-Rebirth 0.56

Gold Leader, that is an INCREDIBLE collection! Wow, I never even knew there was a Japanese release of Descent! 3D SHOOTING GAME indeed!
Also, what is Dimensions for Descent? I think I've seen that before but I have no idea what levels are on it.

But i do own a Descetn Tshirt and Key chain and mouse pad and wodden name plate

Meh , well over here in the European union it's not really seen as a friendly post nor compliment, you lack confidence and manners towards that of other nationalities, A I am not American, B I am Dutch/Australian/German so my english isn't like yours, it's different, thus my reply.
Although you must do what you feel is right of course ...

Good guess comrade, I am a European with a half Australian background, but also partually German.
My English is deffintely not American nor South American, it's European with an Australian accent, so what he typed came over as a strange and not welcome post, thus a miscommunication, probably, I am not sure though.
If I am not welcome here, please say it and I'll leave, as such thongs go, I have become very simple when it comes to such choices, hence I don't have time for flame wars with rectums on the net, simple and plain.

Meh, it seems that most AMI's like you for example are kinda not seeing the point "because some one made a little Typo which is a very very tiny mistake and made it the biggest issue in the world... It seems you lack alot of confidence from that of others, you only care for your self, how embarrassing for the crowd, is it not?
