http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/43023-2/Descent-2.jpgThe 3 CDR's (Scratched out Pre-Release or Beta-Release, Descent 1.0 burned disc, Beta/QA disc)
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/43025-2/Descent-5.jpgStay tuned for more my friends of VA, because with this there will be some Interplay goodies added as gift
They come from the Interplay office, when it was shut down in 2004, thx to some nice contacts I was able to buy these original host CD's of the first ever printed on CD Descent Software as you can see it's Disk 0, thereby meaning this is the first one made with Descent 1.0, this was the game that went final this CD is the host and it's the only one in the enitre universe.
The other CD-R's also have Descent 1 and 2 alpha & beta software on them and they are also the only in existance in the world, the wall mount hung in the hallway near the Descent II segment of the interplay head office and the Interplay envelope is also from that main office building, this is in iotherwords the host software, where only one of exists, that are these
Yeah this is where the heart of collecting just get's a tad more exciting, once these wonderful items arrive, prepare for a great photo shootout, I might even try one of them Descent beta's with DXX-Rebirth 0.56
Stay Tuned.

The Good news is that Freespace part of the World's Largest Descent / Freespace collection has been completed
Meet Freespace2 Interplay 20th Anniversary Edition number 0953 of 2000!
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/4312…of+2000+top.JPG http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/4312…f+2000+rear.JPG http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/4311…00+contents.JPGIt seems to be a limited produced version of Freespace2 Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/4313…+Sci-Fi+top.JPGAs you can see that the front boxart of the FS2 Anni are lighter in coloration than that of the Sci-Fi Edition, The Anni also misses PXO logo and the https://www.voodooalert.de/www.freespace2.com website url:
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/4312…Sci-Fi+rear.JPG
These differences can be spotted on the bottom rear sides of the boxes.The Entire Freespace Collection as it is of now
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/4314…lection_001.jpgWell, that was Freespace so far, it's smaller than I though it would be, but very interesting none the less.
The only ones I seek now are these in boxed or factory sealed condition:
Descent: First Strike for Apple Macintosh:
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/34759-2/Descent++For+Mac.jpgDescent II: Countertrike for Apple Macintosh:
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/3475…r+Macintosh.jpgDescent 3: The Saga Continues for apple Macintosh:
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/3475…r+Macintosh.jpgSo yeah it's pretty much complete now

Something nice arrived today from MasternX a guy that has a contact with one of the cleaners that worked @ Interplay HQ back in 2003 to 2004, when it was being cleared whafter it shut down.:)
So here's the parts in a one shot:
[Blockierte Grafik: http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/43222-2/Interplay+Descent+Office+gear.jpg]That frame hung in the Interplay HQ Office hallways, them CD-R's are host software of Descent 1 and 2, the one with the scratches is the Descent 1 Alpha disc, this is where it all began before it was going final, the one from 1996 is the host disk for Descent Annyversary Edition me thinks hence the date of the disk, unless some Interplay Employee's can help me out here!
Anyways this came to me all thanks to MasternX from this website:
http://forums.my-collections.eu/However I just left that place, somethings didn't feel right, ah well no matter, sometimes it's best to leave a place before all hell breaks loose

[Blockierte Grafik: http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/43251-2/The+entire+Descent+-+Freespace+collection.jpg]And only the boxes which is like 70% of the entire collection:
[Blockierte Grafik: http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/d/43254-2/The+entire+Descent+-+Freespace+collection+boxes+only.jpg]Anyways it's f*ck'n HUGE! And yeah it's bigger than I though it was really! Crikey it even scared me rofl
I also made a little tibutial video of this with Dire Staits - So Long, which still has to be converted to DivX, once I have uploaded it I will edit this post. I chose this song because iit took me so long to build this all up, to collect them and find them, you name it!
So yeah, since October 24, 1994 til this very day, it was well worth doing and yes I will keep on collecting if I come accross something I don't own yet, don't worry my friends, it will keep growing as long as I keep finding new items to add to it
