well that's technically the only way to beat her. HOWEVER there's also two other ways but unintended: - Quad rocket jump way far up into the ceiling to trigger the exit - actually go through the trouble and shoot all your ammo at her and then axe her, with quad. This will cause Quake to crash

Those SFF cases don't allow some of the larger ones so no Voodoo2 or AWE32 for that ever. It'll hit the disk drive.

The earliest stupid way I thought of is the grenade pause glitch in Blaster Master. This was prior to internets.

Just placing these screenshots here for reference on how 3dfx's actual dither looked for future replication in the shader.

None of them. Voodoo support was removed out of X lately and i'm not sure if the EMU8K driver is still around anymore and even then I'm not even sure how that would work with these new sound servers and sinks.

I don't get why people recommend FreeDOS as a gaming OS either. It does have uses like for maintenance, diagnositcs and bios operations, but for gaming it falls short in that to me. Win2000 is also a bad choice for running DOS games, which is something she/he wishes to do.

I can confirm my Stellar 7 CD has one long audio track as well. I would imagine the advantage of doing it as one is to try and defeat seeking delays

There's Win9x UniChrome drivers? BTW I wouldn't count on the Savage series for much retrogaming other than for some exclusive S3TC novelties, and even then, those are more exclusive to Savage4 and 2000...
