I was able to get my hands on one of these. The DOS version runs with the S3 data, just doesn't show the intro screen, which appears only as a green colour filling up the whole screen, otherwise looks exactly the same. Since I don't have a S3 Virge card I won't be able to test the opposite.
Re: VGA games with only 16 colors

Afterburner also seems to be running with only 16 colours in both EGA and VGA modes. The palette differs a bit in each mode, though. Same with California Games that has EGA/VGA mode and MCGA/VGA mode. It tends to recommend EGA/VGA mode but MCGA looks a lot better IMHO.

IMHO the only con in Wolf3D for Mac is the lack of melee attacks because the enemies are always facing you and they don't patrol sectors either. Otherwise is far superior.
Re: Carmageddon 1 hires low performance

^^ not sure what system you were running that on. The Build engine CHUGS at "high" resolutions, I needed a P4/3.0GHz (pure DOS) to get 30FPS out of it at 1280x1024 (in pure DOS.) 1600x1200 was sub-20 throughout. @tiagotarifa: I've found the GLIDE (3DFX) port of Carmageddon runs nicely on my 233MMX …

Carmageddon is CPU hungry, but Duke3D shouldn't be. I remember running Duke3D with edited .cfg file @1024x768, 1280x1024 and even 1600x1200 on a similar config at very acceptable framerates. Best solutions for Carmageddon are getting a Voodoo card or a faster CPU.

Everything is being rendered at twice the resolution but the artwork is still low-res. The filtering feature came in quite handy. AITD series is the only one I can remember that had the sceneries remastered for MAC hi-res mode, but only the CD-ROM versions. Floppy versions will also run in hi-res, …

Not exactly better, but the Mac version of MDK has a rendered Shiny logo intro animation and different intro/menu music. However, no HW accelerated patch was ever made. In game parts are all identical to the PC version.
Re: 3DFX Voodoo Banshee on DOS can't work
Posted on 2019-12-01, 23:49
The Banshee does not support 512x384. GTA needs to be hex edited to remove the resolution or configured first with another voodoo card before running with the Banshee. Same applies to all other games that rely on that resolution.

Just tried it here, Win7 64 bits. Ran out of the box, no compatibility mode needed.

If you don't see 640x480 listed on Intel Graphics control panel, you might have to add it manually. It seems that they're dropping support for lower resolutions on newer drivers, but it's still possible to add them manually.

Mac versions of early lucasarts adventures had digital sounds. Their PC counterparts had all analog thru OPL. The Macintosh interface of Indy3 is kinda interesting and every title from Monkey Island onwards offered graphics filtering similar to Eagle/SAI.

This fix I created removes the nuisance of switching to 16-bit colour everytime (you'll have to play it in Windowed 640x480 to avoid garbled menu) but since it's forcing 640x480x16, it will seem to be running in full screen at full time already. It also fixes the low disk space message. Still needs …
