POD's S3d "renderer" is just the software renderer + a handful of shadow polygons rendered with S3d. From a low res video on YouTube the CIF version looks suspiciously like the software renderer as well.
Two proprietary coverage games: I76 Gold and Croc.
Interstate '76 Gold / Nitro is the big one I think of out-of-the-box, which is technically similar to Mechwarrior 2 but not split off to multiple OEM editions. That one SKU covers:
Quake has more miniGL backends to proprietary renderer
Crime Cities beats that in the MiniGL pissing contest - as techland written their own minigl drivers where vendors faltered! this is already very documented!!! Some of these drivers even can be more compatibility resilient than the official MiniGLs!
- 3dfx Glide (MiniGL)
- Direct3D(MiniGL)
- OpenGL - MSI (MiniGL)
- PowerVR SGL (MiniGL)
- S3D (MiniGL)
long live PCem FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.
Quake only has the Vérité proprietary renderer. Mechwarrior 2 and POD would be better candidates.
Quake has more miniGL backends to proprietary renderer
But translating from OpenGL cannot be optimal.

If you don't have hardware Opengl acceleration (i.e.: Software only), 34 the game will be VERY VERY VERY slow. 35 - The game may seem to occasionally freeze-up, this is due to Window's handling of the swap file. The game 36 is not broken, but you will loose 1 to 3 seconds of game play. 37 - If you change the resolution, the game can freeze or loose colors, 38 or other unwanted side-effects. The 3d card's driver can be the source of this problem. 39 40All of the game's sound, music, pictures, code, and files are Copyright 1998 - Hugues St-Pierre 41 42I am not responsible for any problems, technical or otherwise, that may be caused by this product. 43Je ne suis pas responsable des bris ou des problemes pouvant etre causer par ce produit.
