    This gave me such a weird blast of nostalgia. Not for this particular ad, but I remember when the N64 was new and a lot of the advertising materials were similar collages of singular screenshots for each known upcoming game like this being put out in game magazines and just advertising posters packed with new games. It always made me excited for what's to come.
    Especially that really cool looking Superman 64 that was in all of them. Imagine being allowed to fly around in a 3D environment as Superman? What could be better?

    Man, I remember how the "stock" version of Interstate '76 was software-only and then there were like 75 different patches you could install for the various different rendering systems - Glide, PowerVR, Rendition, Matrox, Direct3D (in one of its early, terrible iterations), and so on.
    I also remember the first time I switched Quake II to Glide from software and was confused why everything looked orange. It was the coloured lighting from the sky... the game wasn't SUPPOSED to be that grey.

      Good catch. For some reason I got Die by the Sword in my mind when I saw him, but I keep mixing it and Deathtrap Dungeon in my mind (Die by the Sword, as wonky as it is, is by far the superior game though, Deathtrap Dungeon is really not a particularly good game)

    • @chiefnewo
      @chiefnewo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      No wonder he wasn't recognised, I'm pretty sure Deathtrap Dungeon's main "selling point" was the female characters humongous breasts.

    Incoming was the big hit for rage software. once they were one on the best studios in the era between crappy graphic cards and the 3d accelarated era. Their previous game darklight conflict was a huge graphic hit with no 3d acceleration. Incoming was full of bright colors, lots of explosions, dynamic lights all over the place. you were tasked to defend the earth from an alien invasion with a bunch of different vehicles to use. I reccomend play them both.

  • @StevenIngram

    The old 3Dfx cards take me back. 3 of my friends and I once got together for a LAN party and played Hexen 2 with 3dfx as a 4 person co-op via IPX. Man, it was a good time. :)

    • @StevenIngram
      @StevenIngram 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You know, thinking back on that. I didn't have another experience quite like it until World of Warcraft. Multiplayer Hexen2 is kind of like a stand alone dungeon run. LOL

  • @sjaaktrekhaak100

    I remember going from a 486 to a Pentium 2 with a Voodoo 3 card and it came with the game 'Incoming'. I remember i was absolutely blown away by the graphics back then. Man, i miss the 3dfx era.

  • @FlyboyHelosim
    @FlyboyHelosim 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good to see helicopter sims like Jane's Longbow 1 and 2 being featured on the pull-out. They were massive in the day and still hold up as being the most realistic AH-64D Longbow sims out-of-the-box. I never really got to play them in Glide mode on real hardware, but I'll never forget the transformation of LB2 when I finally found a Glide wrapper that worked and switched from Software mode to Glide mode. For me that was probably the biggest transformation in a 3DFX game.

  • @Ephunker89
    @Ephunker89 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

Its kickass

    Oh boy... 3DFX... what a revelation at the time! :-) I remember upgrading over the few years that 3DFX was thing up to the Voodoo 3 card - damn it cost some money!!! :-D Amazing days back then when you could easily see the massive upgrades in graphics that were pouring out of the software houses... And the same was happening on consoles too: The jump from PS1 to PS2 was rather like the jump from software PC rendering to 3DFX acceleration! Then the original Xbox, Dreamcast, Gamecube.... they all pushed graphics further and further...
    But was something magical about those 3DFX/ Voodoo days! Finally making GL Quake work on a 3DFX card was mindblowing at the time!! I died so many times just admiring the smoothness and scenery!! :-D
    Thanks for reminder of those awesome days :-)
    Stay safe and well.....

    Incoming is terrific, Clint! I got a copy of it and G-Police packed in with my dad's Voodoo2 when I was a kid. Pure arcadey vehicle piloting and turret shooting bliss - neat stuff. It also got ported to the Dreamcast for 1999, and the Global VR Vortek V3 arcade machine, which was that yellow and black thingy that descended down and went over your head that you've doubtlessly seen with games like Beachhead 2000. I never did get to play it on that, but I saw it when I lived in the Houston area in 2003.
    Anyways - highly recommend you seek it out!

  • @atrocity3010
    @atrocity3010 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My favorite thing about these magazine adverts is that they'll sometimes use prototype footage containing things not in the final release. Two of my favorite examples from the Genesis era were Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Streets of Rage 3. Entire cut levels and mechanics with mockup screenshots everywhere, some of which became famous on their own (like the "Dust Hill" screenshot for Sonic 2). It's a fascinating piece of history.

  • @armorgeddon
    @armorgeddon 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    NHL 98 was one of those games which went along on a rapid hardware upgrade journey. Me and my friends started playing in software rendering on 100 MHz Pentiums, then someone got a Voodoo Graphics, then Voodoo2, then I got a Voodoo Banshee and later on a V5 5500. It was quite a journey from very choppy, low detail, low res software rendering all the way up to maximum res & details & V5's 4xFSAA. Along with that we came from 14" to 19" CRT, keyboard to 4 player Gravis GrIP controllers and lousy 2.0 speakers to Dolby Surround homecinema systems and the game got better and better.

  • @TheWilldrick
    @TheWilldrick 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Oh man the feels! I feel like just busting into storage and grabbing my CD wallet and downloading dgvoodoo just to play some of these!
    Clint, you OUGHT to try Incoming. It's a really weird arcade-y game that jumps you between different ships, tanks, turrets, etc. IIRC I had it bundled with some microsoft joystick... Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro maybe? Or I'm getting confused with the weirdo RTS game for the Strategic Commander pad.... Urban Assault?
    IDK gotta try Incoming. Do eet.

    I remember in late '99/early '00, older brother came home with a Voodoo 2 and a copy of Soul Reaver. We booted that game up and things were never the same again... I always wondered, apart from AMD and Nvidia, why aren't there more mainstream GPU manufacturers?

  • @briandemodulated
    @briandemodulated 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I recommend the Incoming games! They're arcadey vehicular 6DOF shoot-em-ups. The graphics are bright and polygonal with lots of explosions and lens flares. It's an ideal 3DFX showcase and really quite fun.

    Good memories. An error I saw here in the poster is the iF-22. The game shown here by DID/Ocean was called F-22: ADF (later an expanded re-release called F-22 TAW). This is a great fighter jet sim. Apparently there was another game called iF-22 Raptor released the same year. Maybe they were mixed up.

    I loved my Voodoo 2. Mine was the Creative 3D Blaster 8 MB, which I bought as soon as I saw an ad for it in some gaming magazine (I didn't have internet till 1999, so magazines and browsing stores was my only source for gaming news). It was apparently brand new at the time, and I recall it being rather expensive, but it was awesome either way. I recall going through all my old games to see if any of them would work on this shiny wonder card, but sadly I don't think any of them did. Rather peculiarly, I recall some of the games that came with my Matrox Mystique, which were supposedly all optimized for that card, had 3Dfx mode and were basically completely different games that way. When I got my Voodoo 5 when it finally came out, it was another super card, but sadly at the time I was so busy with school I didn't get to enjoy it much

    Thank you, love this. I never had the chance to get into PC gaming until late high school, only had consoles. My first 3D card was the Voodoo3 3000 PCI on my old crappy Celeron 300. Not sure which blew my mind more, playing Half Life or emulating Mario 64 at full speed in Glide. Good times.

  • @troymeredith521
    @troymeredith521 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm pretty sure Outlaws did have a Glide patch. I seem to recall playing that on my VooDoo. Ultim@te Race was so much fun. This is a great throwback of the upcoming games. Definitely played a good chunk from that list. lol.

  • @juenger1701
    @juenger1701 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Holy crap I was a beta tester on 10 six.
    10 six was an early MMO that ran on the old heat.net it was kind of an rts/fps hybrid that ran in a persistent world you joined one of 4 factions (extreme, infrastruct , brute force, and toyco if memory serves) band together in Mutual Defense Networks (clans) and try to capture the bases and gear belonging to the other factions.
    I had a blast playing it back then and a lot of it's mechanics still survive in some form.
    Minorly interesting trivia the name comes from the stated goal of having a game with 1,000,000 players at once 10^6 the logo was stylised as a large 10 with "six" printed over the top right corner of the 10.

  • @lemagreengreen
    @lemagreengreen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Quake 2 didn't require acceleration, it came with a software renderer enabled by default but did include the OpenGL renderer as well and used 3DFx hardware via a glide/openGL miniwrapper much like GLQuake.
    I remember Quake2 being the game that most people bought a Voodoo2 for since it was such an improvement with all of its fancy effects, 1024x786 resolution (a reason to Voodoo2 SLI) etc.

    Man, I wanted a Voodoo so badly (especially once games started requiring 3D cards), never did get one. Had to make do with software mode and drool-stained magazine ads like this, haha. So funny how, for most of gaming history, every graphical advance was mindshatteringly cool. Now we're approaching photorealism and collectively going "Huh! Pretty neat. Back to *insert 16-bit throwback game du jour*."

  • @Chiaros
    @Chiaros 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey man, I thought you might want to know more about the games in there so here's what Tanarus was:
    A free multiplayer tanks game with sci-fi elements, designed by John Smedley himself back at Verant (later Sony Online Interactive). It became a bit of a cult classic and was kept online as far as 2010. The vehicle gameplay from Planetside (massive mmofps, again by Smedley) was based on Tanarus and even today we still have Magriders duking it out versus Vanguards on the open battlefields of Planetside 2 (now ran by Rogue Planet, a splinter of Daybreak Games, those being a splinter of SEO).
    So yeah, that lil' square on your poster is the seed of today's Guinness World Record holder for most players in a single map instance.

    The "who knows what this is"-thing shown for Half-Life is a bullsquid from an early alpha, so not something you'd have seen in-game once it came out the following year, but something that was often seen in ads and articles back in the day (TM). Always fascinating and weirdly nostalgic, even though I never actively witnessed any of this. x)

    Seeing Sub Culture there brought back some really old memories. My Pc back when was barely able to run it. It had like 5 fps and instead of stuttering it was just extremely slowed down but I still played it because it looked so nice and I had a very limited games library. That was on the second PC I have ever owned.

    I actually took a friend of mine through a full playthrough of the King's Quest series, from 1 all the way to 2016 (her favorite is 6, followed closely by 7).
    When we got done with 7...I told her she wouldn't be playing MoE, and then showed her a YT playthrough of the first 30 seconds of the game as explanation for why. She immediately agreed and thanked me profusely for not making her play it.

Also have three different Voodoo2 12mb cards, and two Voodoo 5 5500 agp, One of the 5500-cards needs new heatsinks, the other one still has the original box. All these works perfectly fine.

    How often is a tagline more true than even the marketing execs and CEOs could've known? “PC Gaming Comes Of Age”? Y'all had no idea when the next decade would become.

    As a kid I was so bummed at not being able to use Glide mode in certain games that supported it. Stuck with Direct3D, or even worse; DirectDraw/Software, because I 1) knew nothing about PCs, and 2) they were expensive.
    As an adult, being able to go back and play those games again in Glide mode with wrappers people developed for modern DirectX (or even OpenGL) was an amazing experience.
    Just wish I still had the ability to use a CRT so I could play old stuff properly again.. been over 7 years since my last experience.

    Nicee, I had that same Get Voodoo poster on my wall as a kid! I think I got it out of a PC Gamer mag, but I did have the Monster 3D II as my first 3D accelerator in a P1 166.
    Poster totally ruined, but the nostalgia is super strong with this one.

    What's the story with Prey? I remember the screenshots and hype, in early 1996. I still have a few saved somewhere (in PCX format!)
    Edit: Yes, I found it has a wiki page, no need to tell me about it :)

    Fun fact, my very first personal PC had a Voodoo Banshee card. It was from some guy my dad knew at work who sold the parts to him for 30 bucks so I could have my own pc, waaay back now. The first game I somewhat ran on it (had some graphical errors at the time) was American McGee's Alice. Good times.

    As a Mac user, I sorta missed out on this era. 3Dfx did make graphics cards for Macs, but I always had the built-in or original graphics cards, which were typically from ATI. I recently discovered some kind of Glide conversion for classic Mac games with Glide support. Looking forward to trying it out.
    I really want to play Carmageddon with some kind of hardware rendering. We got a pretty great port of the DOS version but that was software rendering. (Still an amazing game)

  • @trophykid1635
    @trophykid1635 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Never bought any of the videos cards back then. Every time I looked at requirements to run a game it would have a list of cards that it didn't work with. So it almost seemed like you would need to have 2 cards and then swap them out depending on what game you were going to be playing, and then in 6 months both of the cards would be too old to run anything. Nowadays it's a lot easier since everything seems to be working together and the community is really good about coming up with their own patches if there's something the devs missed.
