Right, I have my retro PC setup with what would have been my rig back in the 90s...
- Windows 98
- Matrox Mystique 220 (with Rainbow Runner)
- 2x 3dfx Voodoo 2 in SLI
- SoundBlaster Live
What should I play after Unreal and Unreal Tournament that will make use of those lovely Voodoo 2 cards?
Let's share some nostalgia!
Creo que va siendo hora de deshacerse de algunas cosas de casa de mi madre que no voy a volver a necesitar más.
En concreto la #3Dblaster #Voodoo2 la recuerdo con mucho cariño por las horas que pude jugar con aquel ordenador y la sensación de añadir a la t. gráfica normal una extra para el 3D! (Creo que es de 1998)
El Joystick no es que no lo usará unas cuantas horas también, pero instalar esa gráfica creo fue un punto de no retorno en el camino de ser informático.

⚔️🏰 At our exhibit, you can experience Thief: The Dark Project (1998) in all its glory on our vintage gaming machine from the last millennium—3D accelerated through Glide with a 3dfx Voodoo2. 🪄 Just the way it's meant to be.🤘

A shot of my Power Mac "Blue & White" G3 400 setup from 25 years ago, for #MARCHintosh. (Shot taken with Apple QuickTake 200 in 1999.)

I purchased this 400MHz "Blue & White" G3 Macintosh in January 1999, ordered the day it was unveiled at Macworld San Francisco '99. It ran MacOS 8 and 9 mainly, OS X having arrived only a few months before I upgraded to a "Quicksilver" dual G4 800MHz Mac. This unit had, at it's peak, 512MB RAM, ATI Rage 128 + 3Dfx Voodoo II video and an ATI Rage Pro for 2nd screen as well as a 9GB, 10,000 RPM Ultra-wide SCSI boot disk. I sold this unit in July-August of 2001.
What's that Voodoo on Windows 10doo that you do? :)
Behold the beauty of 3dfx Voodoo 2 graphics cards in SLI.
In 1998, by connecting two Voodoo 2 cards together, you would experience faster 3D graphics performance, but also increase the max resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.
Scan-Line Interleave (SLI) technology was first introduced on the Voodoo 2 for PCs and later when NVIDIA purchased 3dfx, they too started using the technology on their own GPUs.

Ahh that beautiful moment when you know your 3dfx card is kicking in ready for 3D acceleration action (animated gif).
If you owned a 3dfx and this doesn't get you tingling with nostalgic sentiment from the days of DOS, Windows 95/98 - nothing will :)
