+d1x-rebirth is a source port of the Descent 1 Engine for Windows,
+Mac OS and Linux offering OpenGL graphics and effects, advanced 
+Multiplayer gaming, many improvements and new features.
+
+You will need the game data files to actually use d1x-rebirth, 
+place these in /usr/share/games/d1x-rebirth or ~/.d1x-rebirth. 
+Details of how to extract the correct game files are found in 
+the file INSTALL.txt. For enhanced gameplay I would suggest that
+you consider downloading both the Highres 'AddOn pack' and improved 
+soundtrack 'AddOn pack' from the dxx-rebirth site.
+
+d1x-rebirth requires scons and physfs, both available on SBo.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
