+==================
+
+In order to play this game you need original game data.
+Unless you have original Descent CD (or shareware episode) you can get
+DRM-free version of Descent1 from Good Old Games (GOG.com):
+
+ http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/descent_1_descent_2/pp/fc074d501302eb2b93e2554793fcaf50b3bf7291
+
+and extract game data files using "innoextract (>= 1.3)" utility.
+
+The following files are needed to be placed to
+"~/.d2x-rebirth":
+
+ ALIEN1.PIG
