Platforms: Mac OS, Linux, Microsoft Windows
Release date: June 11, 1999

On this day in gaming, in 1999, Descent 3 was released.

It is the third game in the series, and has an expansion pack called Descent 3: Mercenary. The two can be bought together as a bundle.

Other expansions, both official and fan-made, were scrapped due to poor game sales and ownership rights.

The game used the Fusion engine, which was considered among the most sophisticated of its day, and allowed for more open environments, unlike its two predecessors.

Apocalypse Then: Descent

On this day, in 1995, Descent was released.

It spawned two sequels, and there are 'plans' for a fourth game. Descent 4 was cancelled years ago, in 2000, then development restarted in 2007, with 'plans' the bring the game out sometime. Last year Interplay re-registered the trademark. This is what we call 'development hell'.
