That's so weird, I just noticed that Descent 3 magically appeared in my wishlist without me putting it in. I wonder if it was in my wishlist years ago before they took it out, so it reappeared when they added it back to their catalog.

BTW, thank you for posting this. 😀

I bought the bundle on GOG a few years ago... I guess they removed it from their catalog and just put it back?

GOG originally had to take down the Descent games because the Parallax Software guys weren't being paid royalties on the sales by Interplay, despite numerous attempts to remind them that failing to do so was in breach of their contracts. The fact that these games are back up means it must've finally been sorted out, which is awesome! :D
