Had like 8 of us (old fucks) playing Descent in a 8x10 living room. 1 desk, the rest of us have 25 pound CRT monitors in our laps, extension cords everywhere, keyboards balanced on top… good times :-)

You can do it as well 😅

I don't mind. I just like to suggest it first, in case an OP prefers to be the one spreading the word.

How is this related to Piccu Engine? Are they two separate ports of the released source code?

Piccu Engine

No idea, but the one I shared is the "official" one managed by one of the original Descent3 developers.
