Ah yes...back in my day...we had dedicated 3D graphics cards...like the 3dfx voodoo card...voodoo 2 or banshee series...and we didn't rely and visual stunning graphics...we had to rely on good story line...and cool adventure games...like monkey island...space quest....and later on grim fandango! AND WE LIKED IT!! You and your FPS shooter this and FPS shooter that....bleh...hell we were just glad we had a mouse....
Although I am not a serious gamer, I have to say that I like these screenshots more than I liked what I saw while briefly playing the same game (Doom 3) on GeForce 5xxx series cards. Of course the textures look like crap, but at least you can see. In my opinion, Doom 3 took darkness way beyond creepy ambiance/realism to plain old inconvenience.
I got an old voodoo 2 in an old computer I just put together again in my basement. 200mhz pentium mmx, 256mb pc100 sd ram...Sadly I only have 1 voodoo 2! I need another to do SLI! :( I'll gladly take one off someone. I'd even pay shipping. This 12MB card is simply amazing... And yes one card is 12MB unlike the comment above. The computer still gets exactly what the classical benchmark scores get in the first unreal!

I couldn't find an article on how to do this, only found more screenshots.

Nice, looks like Quake 3 on my Voodoo 2 back in '99. Oh and the Voodoo 2 already had "SLI"...

I seem to remember seeing these a long time ago. Old news. No Digg.
