I don't know whether anyone has posted this or is aware of this, but Descent: The Great War is now available in a special DVD edition pack on amazon.co.uk and cybercity software at the yahoo store.

Please make sure software is compatible with your system before ordering. Some DOS programs may require a DOS reboot with memory managers to run properly. Make sure your system can properly run DOS applications before ordering them.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Probably all on one disc... it might have the SSOTYE extras, like the Templar campaign, too...

I saw in Target (on the Value $10 shelf) FS1 and Silent threat packaged together. But, like all the games on the Value shelf, they weren't in a full box, just a case big enough for the CDs. But, what set this box appart is that (have you seen those wallets where to can fold them closed backwards or forwards?) the two boxes where interwined so that when you had them closed one way it was a box for FS1, but if you flipped one of the boxes completely around the other, then it would be closed and be a box for Silent Threat.

The point: If they're making these cool funky box, and putting the games on DVD... it seems like they're still trying to squeeze every last cent out of the games... so why not make *mmph! mmmph!* [JoeK has been bound and gaged for his views, this post is over]

I think it's in my local Electronics Boutique (game store), I should probably buy it since the CD version is kinda over-used.
