Hi, starlord here: this is my first message:

I'm trying to get an obscure (but very attractive) game for windows called survival: the last hope to work on my PC.
http://www.answers.com/survival%3A%20the%20last%20hope

Yet like a limited number of games (such as gex 3d) It will work only on PCs with a 3dfx card.

So I would like to know who tested this game and with which wrapper (egvoodoo, openglide...) and what was the result: Is it playable?

This game is exclusive to the PC (unlike gex) and it would be good to have it playing on today's PCs.

Should you want the game, CDaccess can help (it's a very good shop):
http://www.cdaccess.com/html/pc/survival.htm (and it's not expensive either).

Thanks for keeping me informed on the playability of that game. And thanks for testing it.

Best regards.

starlord.

Why not buy it and try it. 😀

I do have the game, but I don't have a computer powerful enough to try the wrapper. This is why, if someone has tried it already, could he give me the results?

I suppose my computer isn't powerful enough because when I start the openglide wrapper, my computer freezes. (or perhaps it's a faulty driver).
Anyhow, I was counting on you with your leading edge systems... 😀

That's likely to be because you have the graphics drivers supplied by Microsoft, which include only software OpenGl. It may work fine if you download and install the latest drivers from your graphics chip manufacturer's web site.

Alternatively you could try a Direct3D based wrapper like dgVoodoo or psVoodoo.
