6dof = six degrees of freedom. The slang for the genre is Zaxis shooter. It means a shooter where you can move on all planes while in the same point. Descent is the flagship of the genre. Here is a video of Forsaken so you can get an idea:

Re: 2011 Together Retro calender
I'm for Riviera, mainly because I need an excuse to continue playing it. It's a very competently designed RPG, and the item system is interesting. Trying to think of a WRPG alternate though. Only one coming to mind is KOTOR, but that's too new IMO.

I think I saw a copy of Dark Forces at Goodwill. Perhaps I'll see about picking that up.

Re: 2011 Together Retro calender
Just picked up a copy of Dark Forces so I'm up to a whopping 2 months I will join in for next year.
The guy has one more copy of DF for PC pretty cheap if someone wants to grab it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

Aww, nothing really interests me this year except for Rayman, which I own the ps1 and gba version.
