It works fine on my friend's Pure3D. It hates my Pure3D2. I don't know what's the deal but it's the first time I find myself jealous of his Pure3D. :-P Neil M.

Has anyone gotten this demo to run on a 3dfx card? I've tried it on my Voodoo and my friends Voodoo2 and it fails to run on both systems. What gives? Is there no D3D? I chose "default" for the graphics card during the install on both setups. Jason

I've got the Monster Voodoo II and it runs great -- other than the fact that it provides no joystick support, it looks good! Steve

I'm not sure why it doesn't work on yours. I selected the 'default' card and did a full install. I have Win95 OSR2 with the latest glide drivers (that support glide 3?) and the USB patch installed. I have a Mill-II for the 2D, but I'm almost sure it isn't the 'default' 3d card :-) so I'm pretty positive that the voodoo card is used. OTOH, the graphics of the road are pretty coarse (sp?), no filtering (it seems), has anyone else noticed that?

It`s using the Mill-II for the display hence the blocky graphics. There`s no voodoo support (1or2) at all in the demo. It`ll just default to your 2d card. ---------==========================------- \ / \LiverpoolFC - "Through the wind and the rain" ---/
Not true, I have a Mill G200 and V2 12mb and it defaults to the V2, and then crashes!

Yesterday, I took a closer look and yes, it is not using my 3dfx card. BUmmer. It's a cool game though AND I was faster then Colin on the New Zeeland track :-) The game will have 3dfx support, won't it? Dennis. -- Homepage : http://www.iaehv.nl/users/gto

Hope so...it looks exactly like the blocky playstation as it is. >Dennis. >-- >Homepage : http://www.iaehv.nl/users/gto ---------==========================------- \ / \LiverpoolFC - "Through the wind and the rain" ---/

The Demo I had around 2 months ago worked fine on my creative 12 without -any- problems. Unfortunately it was keyboard only, despite that I liked it so much I bought a playstation just so I could play the full version. The graphics were -not- blocky, and it was certainly using the V2 3Dfx card (I had mystique 2MB then, though I've now got a G200). Dave
