Descent 1 like that other anon said

Almost done with Descent 1.
What a game. Top tier music (OPL3), top tier gameplay. Probably the hardest commercially released FPS I've ever played, also one of the most unique ones. I didn't know there were secret levels until I found the first one.
Also didn't know what ship autoleveling did, but once I found out I turned it off and instantly became better at the game.
I'm also playing through Descent 2 at the same time, which is a lot easier, a lot more advanced, but I feel it isn't as memorable. Also, why only 4 midi tracks for 27+ levels. Wtf were they thinking.

Serious Sam TFE/TSE still give me heart palpitations during some encounters so I'd put them up there. Blood & Shadow Warrior are pretty nasty on some maps when doing sword/pitchfork start. Descent 2 is pretty tough but Descent 1 on insane is genuinely insane, couple that with doing clean starts on each level and it's probably the hardest commercially released FPS.

Descent 1 stops being a fun blast em up in level 6 and from then on turns into an anxiety simulator where turning a corner and opening a door without pre-cautions equates into death

Descent is underrated

Y'know, you can talk about it in the Doom thread, they welcome all classic FPS, including Descent

nobody has any right bitching about chaingunners in doom 2 when these fucking bastards exist

the bleeps and bloops are very descent-ish and some of it comes through in the redbook versions i justthink they are better put together than the more minimal midi versions

didnt know about the homebrew version
there is also a modern sourceport of forsaken which is free

its worth checking out the n64 version aswell which is completely different and surprisingly good
