I was pleasantly surprised to find a Creative Labs Geforce FX5200 a few days ago. Classic orange box art never gets old... 😀

Some 3dfx gear seems to be out of reach. I'm glad, I already got most of what I wanted. Otherwise I'm very happy about my hardware collection, so I'm just trying to fill minor gaps and add random stuff to it.

Bought a sealed copy of Master Levels for Doom II. Of course customs had to poke around and remove the seal / unwrap the game. Sucks...

You could still continue the series on designing/coding your own game which has been on hold for a while now. I believe it's rather undemanding to film coding sequences and add some explanation to them.

Creative Labs Graphics Blaster Exxtreme What a strange box. The 3D marble-textured word 'Graphics' doesn't match anything else in Creative's product line [...] This wasn't a one-off. 3D Blaster Voodoo² had a similar texture pattern. I believe there was another one, but I can't remember right now. @ …

More stuff for the collection. 4 new ASUS cards to accompany my V8200. Especially like the V8460 and its colors - also extremely heavy.

There are websites around from the '90s that still work fine, but it seems 2008~13 is now a wasteland. What the fuck are we doing?? My observations too. I would extend the mentioned timeperiod to the following: 2006-2014 The fluctuation of service providers, the decentralized approach on storing …

Where to begin with boxed PowerVR stuff? PCX-1/PCX-2 (Apocalypse 3D series, Matrox M3D, NEC PC3DEngine series), the sole Neon250s, and then the many Kyro cards. Kyro cards are getting more and more difficult to find but they are out there. Agreed - but: finding some of Videologic's lineup complete …

I wonder if PowerVR cards would be more collectible if the company would not exist today. Considering their special architecture, SGX API, Dreamcast link, the timing, the seemingly underdog perception, not being USA based, etc. I find their stuff very collectable. Problem is, certain products …

A collection will be only complete of 3Dfx cards if the collector have V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and Voodoo Rush, Voodoo Velocity, Voodoo Banshee. I don`t count Rampage and Specter as they did not even lived, when 3Dfx bankrupt the Specter card was even still on the test debugging bench and was not ready …

This person advertises a lot with great 3dfx cards, usually cib and sometimes even sealed items. His prices are steep imho but this one goes way over the top: https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/computers-en-software/videokaarten/m1252889100-3dfx-voodoo-v2-1000-pci-nieuw-gesealed.html?c= …

When I bought a Voodoo4 4500 PCI to replace my Mach64 + Voodoo2 combo in 2000/2001 I saw several boxed copies of VoodooMAC 4500 PCI in a local store. I couldn't see the point of it as Mac's weren't very popular. Oh well... 😵
