I am currently installing Quake II so I can play some Glide goodness on my new-to-me Voodoo 3!!
Jealous? Of course you are!

Oh man.
Parents bought us (me and sister) a used packard bell intel 810 based supercomputer when I was 16.
So naturally I ran Quake II, but I wasn't aware it's running in software - I thought that's just how it was supposed to look.
While tinkering with the options I clicked (IIRC) "Hardware T&L" and I literally stood up and paced my room.
Holy moley.

Photos, we need photos !!!
I remember working at a Babbage's in late 2000, early 2001 ish - they put all of their Voodoo 2 cards on clearance. So I called around to all the local shops and had them hold the things, wound up buying half a dozen or so of them for $20 each.
At the time it was still a pretty capable solution for gaming if you just SLI'd a pair of them. Pretty nice upgrade for all the stuff that ran on Glide. Good for lots of early OpenGL too.
Good times, man.
So sad that we don't have a 3rd option for 3d graphics... we need another "3dfx" to compete with the other big two.
The big one, you mean?
No, the big two, of course.
Intel?
Switching Duke Nukem 3D from 320x240 to 640x480 - you can ALMOST see the nips!OpenGL blew my 13-year-old mind, all at a whopping 640x480.
Nice! I had a Voodoo 2 back in the day. After that a GeForce 2, then a radeon 9100 (I think?) and finally a 9800 non-pro when I RMA'd the 9100 and they couldn't replace it. I was over the (%*#(*% MOON! Even a non-pro 9800 was insanely awesome to me.
How does 20-way SLI work out for you?
Does anyone have the Northwest Falcon Voodoo 3 clocked at 200MHz?! Never seen one but only read about it.
My first voodoo was a Diamond Monster3D Voodoo 1, It was great. My next voodoo was a banshee (play the whomp whomp sound here) Had Voodoo 2 SLI eventually and Nvidia after that.
I got some compaq Voodoo 3's that get up around 200MHz. Bought them back around 2009 or so.
Still need to mess with Glide Emulation on my retro build that currently is: Athlon64 3400+, 2GB DDR, 9800XT AGP.
Wouldn't mind build a voodoo rig back up to mess with MiniGL, WickedGL, MesaFX stuff, never mess with that stuff much.

So how is it going?? So you think the card is bad or what?? Tried any other games with it?
I used to be a master at configuring quake..
