3Dfx games and patches

by Michael Fairweathe » Sat, 16 Aug 1997 04:00:00

Having just taken the plunge and bought one of these cards (Orchid
Righteous) I'd like to find out which games have 3Dfx patches available.
Is there a site somewhere that collects them together?
The one I want the most (if indeed there is one) is Carmageddon. But
what about some of the older games like Screamer 1 or 2, RAC Rally and
Nascar. See, now I've converted, I want to get the best from any games
I've already got.

Thanks for any help,
Mike

Try www.3dfx.com. Yes, Carma is 3dfx patched (beta) available at
www.carmageddon.com.

Most of the older racers are not, unfortunatly. Most of the companies
are working on 3dfx racers but few are out yet. One thing you MUST
download from the net is the Moto Racer demo. Oh yeh, get the SOTE
(Shadows of the Empire) demo too. They will knock your socks off.

Other non-driving 3dfx games I'd reccomend:
 Flying Corps
 Jet Fighter 3
 Quake if you're into multiplay (single-user is boring)
 Tomb Raider if you prefer single-play games

Here are a couple of Voodoo related game/news sites.
They both get the patches as soon as they're released, and contain
links to other sites with configuration info, etc...

Check out http://hardware.3dreview.com/3dfx/newindex.html.  They have
the latest news and patches out for all the 3Dfx games.  The second
beta patch is out for Carmageddon, and its pretty good.
