Also had LAN parties playing Descent 1/2!
At the time, Duke Nukem 3D and Doom 2 were contemporary games. But (as far as I remember) Descent was the only game that supported both Mac and PC clients, and let them play together on LAN.
Edit: Does anybody know of an earlier graphical game that had mixed-client LAN support? (~1996-97)

- ericbarrett 5y agoI thought so but I looked it up—the MacOS client for WarCraft 2 wasn't released until 1996; Descent came out in 1995 (Mac port in December). There was no "LAN patch" so it must have shipped with the support. I think it might have been the first.
