DESCRIPTION
D2X (Descent 2) is a Mac OS X port of the popular anti-gravity, space tunnel game.

From the innovative 360-degree, 3D technology to the new Fusion Engine, gamers face a new challenge as they attempt to conquer a new way to play first-person action games.

KARX11ERX  You can find the songs in mp3 format zipped on www.planetdescent.com. This will not allow you to play them in D2X though, but at least you can listen to them.

D2X-XL (a different D2X version) will support mp3 playback somewhere in the near future.

KARX11ERX  Many features missing, network support broken, mouse not working properly ... take a look at D2X-XL (available for MS Windows, Linux and Mac OS X on http://www.descent2.de) and see whether it serves you better. ;)

DANIEL R  Very good Port. Keep up the good work. I just want to know one thing. Is it possible to enable the cockpit view? In descent 1, the Cockpit looked very pixelated (320x240), put in Descent II the cockpit looked awesome in hi-res. Is there a way to enable the Cockpit view in this port?

NICHOLAS ADAMS  I have a 1.25GHz PowerBook running 10.3.9, 512MB Ram, and D2X will not display correctly. I launch it, and I get a pattern repeated through my screen, and it does nothing.
