I have always been into racing games.
Back in the day i had an Intel 200mmx system with a 2mb s3 virge card. I got a demo of formula one 97 and i wanted to play it soooo bad!
It was a complete slideshow and nowere near playable (but hey, i kept trying!)
Then i saw a test in a magazine about the voodoo cards and they kept saying how much faster it was. I bought one (reasonable price since the v2 was just in the stores i believe) and WOW! i couldn`t believe my eyes....
The game was looking much better and it did fly!
Became also a big fan of the first screamer games (dos glide) and do still play them occasionally.
Ever since i had some big love for the 3dfx cards, they were amazing. Through the years i bought some expensive graphics cards and did some big upgrades but i never experienced again the enormous boost my V1 gave me.
After V1 i had V2 and then went SLI. Awesome setups. First non 3dfx card was a geforce 2 because it supported TnL and more and more games did benefit from it so V5 was no option for me. (when it came out it wasn`t bad but i bought a new card much later as my sli was still kicking hard)
