It works with my copy. Thanks! (Netmech not tested yet though) For some reason I get a crosshair/targeting box alignment screwup also it runs slowly when you have the little 3d display of the target mech 😜

Hey... If someone were to "drop" the SGL development libraries on the floor somewhere on the internet, could a SGL->OpenGL wrapper be made? It's possible, but if there's interest and a graphics programmer that has a PCX2 to develop with? Very out of luck. Though with only one supported blending …

oh btw can you start in addition to GLQuake, use Darkplaces v1.05 Quake with comparing 3d accellerators? It's way more optimized than GLQuake and might work better on some older hardware. It even works on PCX-2 to an extent. :) The current build would most likely not work, which is why I specified …

Just for laughs, throw a FX5200 in that list. :) I really need to install every game seen in the slideshows and do some comparing. Have to cheat in some of them (like Shadows) A game that's barely compatible with non-3dfx cards is Starsiege Tribes which should look fairly basic enough for them. It's …

For Unreal on that card try enabling vertex lighting instead to get lighting because it appears the lightmaps aren't even working. Doing that also gives a very nice speed boost, especially on PCX-2 😀

Because Hi-Octane was a spare time project there? Same with Tube. Way back when games were made just for the hell of it!

How does Bethesda's XnGine (Daggerfall/Skynet) stack up? Skynet seemed to have better model animation than JK. Can't speak to the texture mapping. It also seemed to run a bit faster, but probably because they were still using sprites everywhere (especially in Daggerfall). XnGine was disgusting. …

The covers look stock, but usually the disc should say something on it. I'm betting that copy of MW2 is also the 1996 Netmech/Win95 upgraded release shipped as OEM... infact in this pic, Mercs and MW2 are later oem versions.

Fun fact: The Intergraph/Permedia cards were used in Quake2's earlier GL screenshots officially released by id software. Note that the Quake2 code has a built-in permedia workaround to force mono lightmapping so that is intended behavior. There's also some Permedia hackage in Quake3's code I think. …

IIRC Voodoo2 wasn't a 1997 release. January 1998 is very close to 1997 though

It's also bad when Matrox also provides Mystique/Millenium drivers RIGHT ON THE MATROX M3D (POWERVR) CD as if it were an emergency driver supplement. They know it's a problem so they had to make sure you'd get their driver. offtopic fact: there's powervr sgl lib/development headers on that disc …
