I was young at the time, and I was also new to computers (so I wasn't that good), but I remember playing this around 1997-1998 (a few years late). Was pretty fun. I was mainly into Wolfenstein 3D at the time, so maybe it was the added dimension of movement that threw me off a bit.

We need to ask  <Pigger> if this game is truly a classic or not  Kappa
In the summer that you came
There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low
We couldn't greet you with a simple hello

Actually Forsaken was designed to be like Descent. Many of us Descent players at the time were involved in the testing of the game as it was developed. I won the world online tournament for Forsaken and flew to E3 in Atlanta for the launch.

Good times.

Wow Descent. Nice classic title. Never really played this one but enjoyed several of these.

Woah! Forsaken! I had totally forgotten about that game! I played that one when I was young too. That's a neat story/opportunity, Ken.

Here is a video of us playing a pretty heavy netgame of Descent. I'm SIMPLTON, shot from PSIONs perspective.

You all wanna play this!

haha Forsaken. I was working at Acclaim when they were developing that game. Total Decent clone but fun as hell. We had some epic matches while "testing" the multiplayer. The titan is total cheese.
