Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?

  I haven’t actually played Free Space before, but I did manage to get a copy and archive it a few years ago.

  I also got a copy of Overload and briefly tried that, but on my current hardware it only runs at about 3 frames per second…

  The Descent developers were really ahead of their time and pushing gaming to the extreme!

    Definitely give it a shot. It’s obviously different, but I loved it. My mom actually banned me from playing descent 3: vertigo, because she had vertigo and it made her sick

      Vertigo was actually an expansion on Descent 2, I made the NoCD patch for it via a carefully hex edited mod based on another NoCD patch for the original Descent 2.

      Any which way, yeah, anyone with vertigo wouldn’t be comfortable or oriented in any way if they’re watching or playing the game.
