Favourites - what are yours...?
28.02.10 at 06:56:12
 
Here's three basic questions for everyone (yeah, so the last is not 3Dfx related...but I'm curious...) Smiley

What's your fave 3Dfx based game? Huh
(i.e. has a GLiDE option) Wink

My Answer: Unreal / Unreal Tournament + Addon content  Cool

What's your fave Voodoo card? Huh

My Answer: Basically, any of the Quantum 3D stuff - they are weird and cool tech (just too dang pricey to own!)  Shocked

Do you have a games console? Huh

My Answer: All games consoles - too many to list, all customized and modded by hand. Cool

Even though I haven't played it in years I have to go for Need For Speed Hot Pursuit as my alltime Glide favourite.

My favourite Voodoo card is a bit harder to determine. Of all the cards I own:
Nostalgia; Voodoo5 5500 AGP (My first 3D card)
Looks; Canopus Pure3D & Canopus Pure3D 2 (and LX variants) and the Quantum3D Obsidian2 cards.

Of all the cards I know, I'd have to say the best looking is the Meditech Crash Voodoo4 4500.

Game console; I have a SNES but it's non-functional, took it apart Cheesy Best console ever!

Game: Unreal, no doubt about it. Can remember installing and loading it up for the first time as it came bundled with my V3 3000 AGP back then. Awesome feeling !

Card: the V5 for sure. Kickass memories about it !! I remember the time when someone came up to me on a lan  and said "pff, my GF2 beats your V5 man" so I launched NFS:Porsche and turned on FSAA and the image sharpener to -1.00. His jaw dropped. Mine didn't  Cool

Console: NES 8 bit system laying around in basement somewhere, along with N64 system.
Playstation 2 in the living room with singstar, buzz, other family games for the holidays only.

Final Fantasy VII was the glide game I loved more

Preferred Voodoo Card  ever: Voodoo Graphics, Helios3D for the black PCB, was my first 3D accelerator. I like very much Canopus PURE3D for adding extras features on PCB and the SkyWell Magic3D for the cool layout compact design.

The most attractive: Voodoo2 SLI setup (X-24 from Q3D is the preferred one)

At that time I was playing on my SEGA Master System II by few years already. I still own this machine with other console

Game : Unreal Tournament
...Reason : awe-inspiring stylish gameplay meets awesome graphics meets awesome add-ons. Played it for many years.

Card : Voodoo5 5500
...Reason : I guess cause it was a powerhouse and ran Unreal Tournament so well at deluxe image quality Wink

Console : N/A
...Reason : never liked their input limiters, ehm. "controllers" and the resulting child-friendly difficulty

Oh this smells familiar... V3 2000 AGP was my second 3dfx and I literally loved it!! So compact layout, delicious design, easy overclock; It was the 3dfx entry-level V3 card, but already so fast it was kind of ridiculous to me! I played with that card a lot first to shutdown V3 system and get my V5.

V3 2000 was a tiny beast Wink

Id have to go with Unreal. The first time it booted up and did the castle flyby thing my jaw dropped Wink

The first 3d card I bought was a Orchid righteous 3d. So Id have to go with that. Even though the 5500 is badass.

I have a 360. Only usually buy 2 or 3 games a year since they mostly all suck.   Cheesy

Correct me if I'm wrong... Undecided

But wasn't Final Fantasy VII a Direct3D game that simply "supported" the Voodoo 2? Huh

I don't think it had a specific GLiDE option... Huh

EDIT: spotted THIS, but it's STILL not the final version... Wink

Game- UT, Unreal, Diablo 2

Card- Voodoo 2 for pure nostalgia; my first 3D graphics accelerator back in the day. Voodoo 5 5500 for being the highest powered glide beast without buying the expensive 6000.

Consoles-saturn, nes, genesis, psx, ps2(broken),360(broken),gamecube(broken). I appreciate both the real console experience and emulation experience. Emulation is cheaper so it usuallly wins.
