Engage.
Hippo Hides in the mist and collects more mines
Swarmed by things that scratch you
Run Run!
Hippo said the door was closed, but here it was open.
Looks like someone fell over
And instead of picking him up, looks like the red ones rape him!
Scores
The nomads go about their business
Taking on the boss

And there was a phantom Scratch:

Dude, we have to do this sometime. Hippo (or Hunter) IM me on a weekend (Fri Sat or Sun) and we'll play.

Its D3 1.4 (I'm pretty sure the 1.4 matters)... The only real problem we cme up with is my 56K timing out before the level finishes loading, so it normally has to be a smaller one, though we got some others to work...

Yeah Hippo has to join the game ten times before he can get in..

I remember the days of Telephone modems, I could
never go back
I'll have to see if anywhere still sells Descent 3, I always get owned at UT or Halo, cos I am old and slow, so I like Co-op games

Ah well Descent 3 and the expansion were recently released (or revived) in a Dual-Jewel package for $10. Go get it from
www.interplay.com store
Make sure you have a Geforce 3 or Equivalent Radeon with a minimum of 1.5Ghz processing power and 512mb of memory. This is actually what I consider the "OK" system to run just about all the levels. Ofcourse, D3 runs fine on a 333mhz with 128mb of memory and a Geforce MX, but you'd be losing lots of performance. D3 has some excellent effects for a game 5 years old, and running it in 1600 resolution is like playing a new game.

And since your outside of the US, ebay.co.uk might be a better bet..
