You weren't alone, but we just used more hands.

I usually did navigation, and my grade school aged son did the shooting while sitting on my lap.

Now he's 33 and I'm 64, we'll have to switch places.

Hello old me! :) My 6 year old son broke two spacebars firing the Phoenix Cannon one summer...
bwahahaha, I love that!

The Circle of Descent continues....

I would sometimes play “co-op“ with my little brother, navigating with a flight stick and the number pad while he managed weapons and firing. It’s fun to see decades later that we weren’t the only ones to play Descent this way!
I did this with my boy too, it was so much fun and great bonding over easily understood teamwork!
