In addition to being 32bit ready these games also feature many visual enhancements as follows;-
- Performance enhancements giving improved frame rate on all machines
- Bi-linear filtering for smooth close-up textures in Descent 1 (This gives a typical 3D accelerated look to the games) (again, D2 already has this)
- Transparency effects in Descent 1 (D2 already has them
- Improved lighting to give more in-depth look and feel
- High resolution images
- Higher resolution gameplay in higher colour modes (8/16/32bpp)
- New sound system with 16bit audio
- High and Low res movies in Descent 2
An upgrade pack is available from R-Comp for £15 to cover both games.
