Is there a place to legally get Descent 1 & 2?

[blurredvision]

This is one of my favorite series of all time, and after playing the crappy Wing Commander remake on the Xbox Live Arcade last night, it reminded me of it. I'm hoping that this has become abandonware, and that someone can point me to a download of it.

Ideally, it would also be able to be ran in Vista or XP.

Thanks for any leads guys!

Not sure where you can get Descent 1, but Descent 2 and 3 are available on Gametap.
Excellent service, by the way. Worth the money and then some.

Dude, I have the original Descent sitting right in front of me. For shipping, I can send it to you. 1995, wow 12 year old game. I know Descent III was kinda crappy, but Descent was pretty good. I think I have Descent II around somewhere, but I'll have to look.

I think they're essentially abandonware, although I don't know where you can get them. You can probably find them for a couple dollars off ebay if nothing else.

They won't run natively on XP with sound, but you can use D2X-XL with them. It has heavily upgraded graphics and a lot of other features.

Was looking around amazon for something else but typed these up too. Several people offering different version of 1 and 2 for sale.
