I was there, 3000 years ago.
My shelves still feature two 12MB Voodoo 2 in nostalgic reminder of the good old times.
Nice, I didn't keep them.
But did you use wicked3d glasses? 😁
No, but I did buy (and still have) a GeForce 3 that came with 3D glasses (proper stereoscopic active glasses).
ASUS V8200 Deluxe, good oc.
Dang, I was happy 25 years ago.
Nice! Did that work with all games too? (in general, not perfectly)
I, painfully, had to buy my friend a Voodoo 2 card while I had a crappy Riva 128 because I owed him money. He then proceeded to show me how awesome GLQuake was and I couldn't run it.
Don't worry, you can buy a Voodoo 2 today for the price of about a 3070 or something :''(.
(and yes, mine are my retirement plan ... no, not financially, for gaming, bcs soon having 12/24MB of vram will be far beyond the reach of normal pleb)
I'm still slightly mad that my parents got me an 8 MB Voodoo 2 instead of 12 MB. And I couldn't even formulate my frustration because I didn't quite understand VRAM yet.
Still, Unreal never looked better.
Omg Unreal is epic, those marble corridors still look legit today.
With two Voodoos you could run it in 1024×768.
I'm gutted, I tried to add heatsinks to the RAM in mine and I fried it.
I wish I kept my old boxes/hardware now. At least I still have my old consoles /boxes I guess
