Built me a 3DFX rig out of an old Gateway 950mhz, using my old 3DFX Voodoo 4 PCI.
I know the 3DFX logo would pop up when starting a game exclusively for 3DFX cards (NFSII SE & Croc do this). Anyone know of any other games that do this?
I'm trying to assemble a rig with games exclusively made for this 3DFX card, for nostalgia.
THANKS!

Googling I found this nice article. Oh, the memories of my Voodoo 3 2000 (flashed with 3000 firmware for ++eliteness)

To those without a 3dfx card (lol), you can use a Glide wrapper like zeckensack's :

I recently used the Glide wrapper which got me interested in building this rig. I forgot Quake II was a 3DFX game, have to see if I still got it.

Also, I remember Diablo 2 had a Glide option, right ? Wing Commander Prophecy also needed it for a couple of advanced gfx options.

Yeah, I was gonna mention Hexen II which I just re-played last week. Not really a 3dfx only game, but GLHexen runs on Glide.

Heres a small list of glide games --- http://www.ocia.net/articles/glide/page1.shtml
another longer list, seems pretty valid --- http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=534

I would recommend;
Carmageddon 2
Descent
Dethcarz
Dungeon Keeper
Forsaken
G-Police
Grand Prix Legends
Hidden and Dangerous
Interstate '76 Gold
MechWarrior 2
Populous the Beginning
Star Wars: Jedi Knight
Tribes
WipeOut XL

I'm gonna replay most of these in the next month or so. =)
