Voodoo never managed to break away from the limitations of Glide and S3 Virge cards were really loving variable; but they were cheap enough for LAN games of Quake Arena. gently caress the Longest Yard. Yeah, I only bring up nVidia because of the 1993 connection and what we've arrived at today in terms of market share — the GeForce 256 didn't come out until, what? '98-'99:ish, and that was the end of the old 3D add-on cards — on-chip hardware T&L had arrived. TIE Fighter was essentially the 2.0 of X-Wing: take everything that worked, refine it, and make one of the best games in the genre for a long time. However, the initial version didn't use any of that tech, iirc (although the first Voodoo was released that year). They made a (significantly) updated version for the Collector's CD Edition in 1998, running on Windows, and I think that's when they squeezed in 3D acceleration and all the other good stuff. So it may have coincided with the GeForce launch, if that's what you're thinking of? The other important year would otherwise be 1996 (but then I'd have to rant about Wing Commander IV instead): the year of Quake, Duke 3D, Civ II, Super Mario 64, Diablo, Warcraft II… aaaand Tomb Raider. Why does TR get a special mention? Because it is commonly credited as the first major title to come with 3D acceleration support built in from the start rather than as a later patch or addition (which is why I'm curious about the details of TIE Fighter… but then, Descent (1995) didn't have acceleration either so the TR claim is probably accurate). Even Quake had to wait a year until GLQuake was released.

That's very possible - the era coincided with my discovery of ecstacy, so recall gets fuzzy for a three year period that I just recall being awesome. I remember picking up Carmageddon Max Damage, then going back a week later to splurge on a Voodoo 1 and wing commander prophecy; the Voodoo 1 was the piggyback card where you took the output of your normal graphics card and fed it through the Voodoo with a little lead. After initial problems with the drivers, I was blown away because gourud was all we had until that point. While I'm fairly certain that I downloaded an executable at some point from a BBS that updated Tie Fighter to 3DFX, your recollection of the time might be better.

A lot of games scrambled to update for 3D once the cards started to gain traction — Lucasart weren't exactly lazy so they probably did so too. I just remember that TR got a lot of press, not just because of the game itself (which obviously spawned a side-genre of its own) and because of Lara, but because of how they managed to ride that wave perfectly right from the release version.

I had a razor mouse for a few years but it wore out. Some idiot goon told me to get a Logitech one because they have great customer service and will send you a replacement when it breaks every nine months or something. I ended up getting a steel series one and I really like it.

I swear I had the only MX518 that wasn't bulletproof. Mine crapped out after a year or so. The logitech mmo mouse is good though, for sure. It's very large and I didn't like the third mouse button they put under your pinky, but I loved that mouse. Mine recently died and I got the Corsair one, I think it's called the Scimitar. It's a bit smaller, but it's nice because the number pad on the side can be moved backward or forward and then locked in place so you can put the thumb buttons exactly where you want them. The only downside is it uses Corsair's CUE program to control the lighting and buttons and junk, but CUE is getting better and since I have a Corsair headset I already use it anyway, so it's nice to be able to control all my peripherals from one window. It's extra handy for doing multicrew in Star Citizen because I can macro commands to my thumb buttons and have different macros for each mouse mode - one for doing scanning, one for C&C, one for working the main weapons control, one for ahahahaha just kidding.

He's going to always have a Jesus Patch defense. Even when/if 3.0 comes out, it'll be "In the next one. They're working on it. Cut them some slack! They've progressed to pre-alpha-alpha-beta now!" - ad infinitum.

Hey Derek, seriously though: a while back you mentioned that some source dropped a lot of dirt on your lap. Did that turn out to be a hoax or troll or something? You haven't mentioned it in a while. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, I'm just honestly curious. e: taxxe
