Just guessing that since this forum is for an Interplay game some people here also played the Descent games, I was wondering where I could find remixes of the levels.
-
I don't know if they are remixes... but when I downloaded the Descent 1 music MIDI's from Planet Descent (http://www.planetdescent.com/), there were twenty-two of them, not seven like in the original game. Also Planet Descent has two or three remixes available, but not one for each level.
I've heard some of the remixes from the Playstation version of Descent, and they are both fantastic and fantastically hard to find on-line. :ick:
Just like the game itself... if I knew where to find it I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I know eBay would probably have it somewhere... but that's a last resort.

I checked Planet Descent and those remixes are horrible...There's a new video comparing the original Descent II to D2X-XL, and it's playing a remix of Descent I Level 2 around the end of the video.

I don't know exactly what you're defining as "remixes," Zane, but the tracks listed in the Descent music section of PD really aren't (or at least, not in the strictest definition of the word). Asrale and Aenn Sidhe Priest's tracks are re-creations of the original MIDIs, while Valin's are re-recordings of the MIDIs with a legacy FM-compatible sound card. Overclocked ReMix does have a single Descent II remix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01410/), from that game's credits track. I also have 3 or 4 remixes of original Descent tracks lying around here somewhere; I've been meaning to find out where I snagged them for some time now, so I can put a news post up about then.
Dark Hunter, the original Descent did use all 22 of those MIDI tracks; you might be thinking of the game's demo, which only included the first 7 levels. The Descent Archives (http://archives.descent.cx/d1/d1music.html) have the majority of the Playstation Descent tracks available; I believe that any tracks they don't have on that page were just versions of the D2 redbook tracks. As for buying any of the Descent games, Amazon.com has plenty of fairly cheap copies, both new and used. I believe that a few Fry's Electronics stores also have copies of Descent 3 lying around.

There was a toipc similar to this in General Freespace a week ago.
-
Just a note: but the Descent Archive people have mis-labeled a couple of songs in there.
Example: the song marked "level18" is actually the Level 3 music, and vice versa.
Just FYI. :D
-
No, they're all the right track. Now this one bundle I found made by Allister Brimble, THOSE are all messed up...except for Level 2: Lunar Scilab...
-
18 and 3 are definitely reversed there, unless the PSX version had them switched around.
Thanks for the links though. I've been searching for those PSX tracks for a while.
