That is true, furthermore Overload has an usermade campaign called Overload: First Strike, which is a conversion and upgrade of the entire Descent 1 campaign to Overload. Additionally I recommend Desecrators, which is a Descent-like with procedurally generated maps. Think Sublevel Zero or Everspace, except good.
Forsaken for n64 was pretty good too.
Mr. Doob has been doing experiments like this for at least a decade, glad to see that he's still at it. He's the creator of three.js, and it looks like this uses that for rendering instead of being a straight port.
Seeing this kind of games so beloved by the HN greybeards, makes you wonder what will be the equivalent nostalgia games for the next generation. Pokemon red maybe? Perhaps Fortnite?
Sorry to be the one to ruin your concept of time.

Descent came out in 1995. Pokémon red came out in 1996. Sorry to be the one to ruin your concept of time.
Was this necessary?

Descent was a huge part of my childhood (and surprisingly my little kids are now big fans as well)! Unfortunately this seems to stutter pretty badly with audio issues as well for me on Firefox on Linux. As a huge fan of three.js and other past work... I guess I'll blame Claude?
Descent is good, but I do think the series peaked with Descent II, if for no other reason than the rocking soundtrack. Very awesome, cool, industrial rock; I used to put the game CD in my car to listen to it since it was Red Book audio.
