I think a lot of games in the "Glide Lists" above need to be revised. There are a lot of games in there that are Windows based games, let-alone not supporting the Glide API.

Command & Conquer Renegade - {2002}
Frontline Attack: War over Europe - {2002}
Heli Heroes - {2002}

I mean, come on. 3dfx was defunct by the end of 2000 and in 2001 we had Windows XP so how can these games be related to the thread topic in any sense?

If we're not going to draft a WIKI for such things, at least we can start to filter out all the BS that is put into posts, which are supposed to be informative and help people find what they're looking for.

DELL Dimension XPS M200s
:Intel P1 MMX 200MHz
:64MB EDO
:DOS 6.22/Win95b
:Matrox Millenium II + m3D (PowerVR PCX2)
Chaintech 7VJL Apogee
:AMD AthlonXP 2700+
:512MB DDR
:Win98SE/2000 SP4
:3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP

Working on filtering the BS right now...

For what it's worth, Heli Heroes is tested confirmed working with nGlide: meaning it IS a Glide game.

You are probably right about the other two.

robertmo, your list is missing:
- Nascar Racing 1999 Edition - which has 2 Glide binaries, both Windows and DOS. The game doesn't have a DOS installer, however, so you need to install from Windows.

C&C Renegade missed it's original shipping date and then missed it's second shipping date so it's quite possible that it could have been developed early enough to have Glide support.

Just want to add in that maybe you should put Actua Soccer and VR Soccer on the same line. It is the same game, just that Actua Soccer is the European release and VR Soccer is the american. Same goes for Whiplash / Fatal Racing.

EF2000 also had a separate release called EF2000 V2.0 with everything (also 3dfx support) included.

was thinking about it too, but decided not to as both games require different patches. Also have completely different titles that goes in different place of the list in alphabetical order so it would be harder to find them. Also longer list looks more exciting 😉 Anyway my mission is over as Stiletto updated his list. 😀

Nah, I don't know when I'll be returning to this project, so please keep up the good work, and PM me with any new discoveries 😁

IIRC, I did play Renegade with a Glide card before. I don't have it installed at the moment, I should try it if I can find my CDs...

Renegade's purely Direct3D.

However, Renegade was so long in development (begun around early '98) it makes you wonder if they have fallbacks for other older hardware. They don't support PowerVR though :(

Renegade is strange. You can't force MSAA with it. It has to be the oldest D3D game I've played that renders in a way incompatible with it. I found a modernization effort called Tiberian Technologies that implements FXAA.

Rainbow Six is D3D only

Where are you getting your information? You listed Magic Carpet 2 again. Attempting to find a 3dfx patch for Magic Carpet 2 just matches to some misinforming posts here, and no actual patch.
