I loved the hell out of Descent. I played it on an old 486 where it couldn't even keep a reasonably playable frame rate, and I beat it. Despite how many keys were required, I played entirely on keyboard. It still holds up, as fun as it ever was. One of my all-time favorites.

Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter
Descent is a big part of gaming history, but not many people talk about it.

It really is extraordinary. My memory of it is how dark, dank, and adult it was, though. I was about 14 when it came out (I still have the giant, gorgeous foil box) and I remember being utterly captivated by how scary it could be, by the wild NPC art (nudity!), and the nigh endless world.

With the sad passing of Julian LeFay, I thought it time to mention how extraordinary Daggerfall is.

There’s a whimsical, faerie-story quality to its fantasy, even with all the swords, sorcery, politics, and horror. Few games capture the same sense of “Adventure” and freedom.

A true achievement.

Time for my first watch of Messiah of Evil for #horrorwatch tonight! It's on Tubi, so no excuse not to join us. If you care what random thoughts go through my head, this'll be the usual thread. Starts in 7 minutes!

Messiah of Evil (1974)
After receiving unsettling letters from her artist father, a woman travels to a seaside California town to find it governed by a strange, undead cult.

the time is drawing near! The time to draw back the curtains of reality, and see what terrors wait beyond from the Messiah of Evil! Only two more hours left until #HorrorWatch!
