Also you can pick up the latest demo (19MB) which is Win98 compatible.
Don't know how they work as I've been enjoying the full game on my old V1.
Enjoy
Here's how it works.. IT SUCKS!! no, just kidding. ;-)
It's actually VERY good looking. First of all, as it mentions in the
Readme... the User Interface is extremely hard to do anything. You
basically have to just select the green box in the bottom right hand and go
to where ever you had it previously set. (You can't see the box, but it's
sorta off the screen in the very bottom right)
The actual look of the game is ALOT better than it is on my Voodoo. Though
the FPS shown are around 23 or less... it seems to actually play better than
the 36fps I get with my voodoo.
I am hoping they don't let this one stay as a beta and work on it as well as
they can... it looks VERY promising. (ala... the Nascar2 3dfx patch.. that
is STILL in beta)
That's good news. I toggle between the Rendition and V2 versions of GPL, but
I have yet to try the GL patch. Nascar 99 will be coming out soon with full
3DFX support. Here's hoping they will take the opportunity to release a
final patch for those who bought the original Nascar 2.

well it IS a beta.. 'sorry about your luck'. And the in***pit slow
framerate is because of a driver problem with the mirrors.. if/when Nvidia
or whomever gets that fixed... I'll be getting 36fps at 1280x1024 in car
view.... I already get that framerate easily outside of car view. If I had
a bigger, better monitor, I'd be at 1600x1200 by now. And the replay views
are PHENOMENAL!!!!

Using the reference drivers from nVidia's site, the menus are clear, but the
game only works in 640x480. Using the .0137 drivers from the STB site, the
menus are screwy, but it runs in all listed resolutions.
Worth a shot.
Just like they're waiting for 3dfx to fix all the problems with banshee.

I have had

God man, at least know what you are talking about before you speak!

Oh, please! For every guy you hear whine about problems with Glide there
are twenty pissed off about stinky D3D versions...
Not to mention: What? Those mean bastards don't support my super,
brandnew,
shiny TNT with a D3D patch?

How to get rid of censorship in German game releases

The "insult to injury" part is that these games are in the card's native
API. Why would it be that GLIDE games have more problems running on banshee
than D3D games? This does not bode well for rampage, which will be a total
rewrite of the 3dfx architecture. You have to realize that voodoo 1, 2 and
banshee are almost identical at the register level... there have to be a TON
of assumptions about the architecture in GLIDE code out there. I mean, hell,
if GLIDE apps are breaking on such small stuff as voodoo 1 to voodoo 2, and
voodoo 2 to banshee, imagine what a new architecture will do to those same
apps.
The sound of breaking GLIDE apps will probably be heard for miles around
when rampage is released. Luckily they will all run in D3D or OGL mode fine,
though.
