Quake/Half-Life - OpenGL wrapper with no direct support.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Yes, Quake and Half-Life aren't "3dfx native". They are opengl.
They are listed as "supports glide" because the game can force 3dfx icd. Or the game is supported by 3dfx minigl. Both are opengl->3dfx wrappers.

MiniGL also only exposes a subset of OpenGL which is well aligned with GLIDE instructions, so saying it's a wrapper is not the complete story.

if i recall unreal games was on of the few exceptions, although one could say it doesn't have open GL support, it was so bad at launch most could not even use it.
more often then not a Open GL/glide game would use miniGL or a wrapper or something like that.
DX/glide is more common.
