Descent 2 updated for OSX - and free!

Interplay is a dead company. They laid off all their employees and stiffed them on their final checks, didn't pay their health insurance, etc etc. All that's left is a few execs trying to cut big deals for the properties they own. It's really sad...Interplay was one of the best game companies around. So many amazing games came out of their studio. :(

Their website is barren??? Wow, that's a total shocker. Definitely not what I would expect from that type of company..... ...the bankrupt, closed kind that is.

I would love to see Dune 2 come out for Mac OS X. Bring it back!

Now if they could only port SimCity 2000 for OS X...

I'm not sure about this because I won't get to test until I get home to my Mac, but the site seems to indicate that it includes the D2 Demo data, not the full game. It also mentions that it can play D1 which is pretty cool - wonder if I can find my copy from 19whatever - gosh that's old.

This seems to be a trend lately, bringing back classic games as open-source cross-platform apps. Or if it isn't a new trend, I hadn't noticed it before now. I've already played Star Control II ( http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ ) and Wing Commander Privateer ( http://wcuniverse.sourceforge.net/ ) in the last couple months. I wonder what else is in store.
