Descent II is a 3D first-person shooter video game noted for popularizing the use of true 3D rendering technology and providing the player with six full degrees of freedom (often abbreviated "6DOF") to move and to look around.

This is an very very early port of d2x-0.2.5 to the gp2x. Version 0.02 is also mirrored at Paines' Site.

Zico, maintainer of DXX-Rebirth, is currently working on a separate and more optimized port of Descent 2.
