The 3dfx Voodoo wasn’t the first 3D card, or the most complete. It was the first that made games feel smooth. Four years later, Nvidia bought what was left of the company. What went wrong? #Voodoo #Gaming

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)
