I just happened across this auction. Thought that I would let you know about it.

I'm buying one, but that leaves 3 more. Great chance to get this version of the game.

Already have it + the Ati and Matrox version but for you who don't have it grab it since it's hard to come by nowdays

I take it this is not the 1998 Titanium re-release, at least it doesn't look like in the photo.
Would this (current Ebay posting) work in DOS with my Orchid Righteous 3d card?

It should supposedly work on a Voodoo Graphics, though I never ever got it to work on my Voodoo2 in the day.

Not its not the titanium release of the game. That usually goes for a mint on ebay. To be honest I think that this is in some ways better looking than the titanium re-release

I have gotten this version to work on a diamond monster voodoo 1 card and a voodoo 2 card. There is a set of variables you have to use to make it work on a voodoo2. I'll try and find them again.

Cool, thanks for the answer. I went ahead and got a copy, since it's so inexpensive.

This version of the game runs in win9x not dos, unfortunately,it does look a lot better then the vanilla version of the game it really adds to the atmosphere.

That's ok, I don't mind running it in Windows 98.
I agree with you that the graphics look more pleasant, era-appropriate, and not as "busy" looking than the titanium version (which I own). I will update the post if I get it working with my Orchid 3dfx voodoo 1 card.
Thanks for the heads up.

Well, I just got the game today, however it was not the 3dfx version, but the S3 Virge edition. Since the ebay description does say that it's the 3dfx enhanced version, I wrote to the seller explaining the situation. So, buyer beware.
I'm glad that it was only $4.95, so not much to lose.
