Surprised to see this game on here. This was the first playstation game my dad bought me and I remember the entire family were watching with awe at the opening sequence:

Really a terrifying game for kids. I remember I used to get sweaty hands after blowing up the reactor and trying to remember where the exit was with the female computer voice counting down. No help, it was brutal.
The psx version came with :
- dedicated studio produced soundtrack that simply stands the test of time
- voice over FMV sequences with symphony orchestra track
Descent 2 & 3 continued the trend on the playstation with the same formula.
The story also had a nice element of modern realism. You are a cynical mercenary for a major space mining corp with a machiavellian corporate executive just using you. I won't spoil it but one of the best endings ever in a game.
I've also read Peter Telep's novel based on Descent universe. Yeah I'm kinda obsessed with this game.
