>>Twisting/spinning joyrides are so much fun. Trying to keep your bearings after hitting the reactor core to escape without getting lost was the greatest rush, following fighting through all the enemies to get there in the first place. The best part of Descent: Freespace was flying diagonally to maximize the simplified physics engine relying on unit vector thrust - Pythagorean theorem to the rescue! I found the best way to do this was via keyboard chording, so never really used a joystick for Descent.
