I never played this until it came out on iPad. Weird.

The cheesy graphics only served to make me miss Descent more.

I played this game as a kid. Man, the graphics look so horrible on a 27" screen.

30" ACD never looked so bad.

I used to play DOOM all the time with my buddies on a dial-up 14.4 modem. Those were the good ol days!

Funniest game I ever played. Graphics are very outdated though.

1. -> 2. -> 3. -> 4.

1. "Your face, your ass, - what's the difference?!"

2. "You're an inspiration for birth control"

3. "Hmm, don't have time to play with myself."

4. "You wanna dance?"
