Great work [TGA3DX] Tim!!! I have used a few cards from the list;)

Due to the feedback received on the initial, tricky to use menu, I've changed the navigation menu from 2 drop down boxes to one. The main gallery is accessed by clicking on the "Golden Era" link from the "The Collection" drop down box.

From there you can select which year you want to look at.

Hopefully this will make browsing a tad easier and less confusing for newcomers, and easier to use. Please let me know if you think so.

I should be getting a lightbox soon, to take some more professional pictures of the cards.

I think what peeved me the most was when they just became big advertising catalogs month after month w/ the same ads. BLEH!!!! I wanted REVIEWS AND SCREEN SHOTS DANGIT!! 🤣

A user uploaded gallery of screenshots for each card showing its output in a game could be a good idea. PNG format enforced though, to showcase how the card dithers, etc.

Nice website; there's actually quite a few cards on the list that I had never even heard about before. Of course, back then, I was completely oblivious to the whole concept of "3D acceleration"

Nice site, I'm busy working on one myself and have 122 cards in my collection, mostly from 95'-99'. You have a couple jems (personal taste) on your site, the Tri-tech Pyramid 3D and the Warp 5.

The dates are somewhat confusing on your website, you should either catagorize them as announced or released. For example the original Voodoo cards you have categorized in the 96' table but were announced in 95' and released in Oct. 96'. On the other hand, the Rendition v1000 you have listed in the 95' table and was announced in 95' but didn't hit market till the second half of 96', just slightly before Voodoo.

All the cards are categorized on announce date.

The problem with the voodoo board is that initially they were announced for the arcade market. The consumer Voodoo board was announced in 95, but wasn't properly introduced until 1996. I'm still in two minds whether to change this or not.

Changed it now :

Have you tried http://www.archive.org?

The last time i tried tga3dx on archive.org there were almost all images missing. I e-mailed tga3dx but there was no response. Maybe someone has an off-line copy of this website?

Sad this disappeared. It was an absolutely fantastic site.

The pages are there but not the pictures.

I'm curious, what happened to this site?

Probably couldn't afford to keep paying the hosting fees. I don't think the site carried advertising so the owner was paying for the bandwith out of his own pocket. We may log in to Vogons one day and find it gone when the hosting fees get to be too much.

Hes just ended collecting and sold some stuff at ebay and falconfly.de. Probably not enough time or something. No collection = no reason to pay for hosting. But its true that he should at last upload somewhere copy of his pages.

When he was closing I talked to him about archiving his page and he did say he would
i'll try and get hold of him

Got in touch and asked for a copy of his site. this is his reply :

Hi yea it's me (Timber), I'd rather hold on to the website then distribute it to people I don't know. Apart from pictures and stuff it didn't have that much info anyway. Sorry mate.

Link him to this thread maybe?

"Apart from pictures and stuff it didn't have that much info anyway." is especially what people want =)

gave him link
