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'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.
