this was my first time seeing Quake 1 with 3DFX card in person, definitely looking good!

R.I.P :(

Hey, I'm not sure where you see the FPS counter but I believe the game runs something like 20-25fps max, maybe 30 when there is not much happening on the screen. You can see the PC spec in the video description. In this spec, this is the best fps you can get. In the near future (probably in a few weeks) I'll build a faster PC and play the game again. This is part of the purpose of this channel, I run everything on real hardware and they are usually not the "best you could get at the time" but rather "what most people had". I hope this answers your question! :)

@@SkulldozeR yeah I remember playing that with a P166 and it was working fine!

Thanks! I'm glad you like the video. I usually upload 1-2 videos every week. If you think of any old games, please let me know. :)

Today it is still a great game! I really enjoyed it. I sometimes feel like games became too realistic and they don't feel that enjoyable anymore :)

I had a quick look at Quake 2, just to see how it runs. It runs quite well but when there are too many explosions around it struggles a bit. I think Pentium 200 is holding 3DFX cards back a lot. Later I'm planning to build a more powerful PC, maybe a Pentium III 500 to play Quake 2.

I think it is 640x480. I tried 800x600 but it didnt look right haha

hello! I used the latest reference driver. I find it very stable and reliable. I think Pentium 200Mhz can't keep up with the Voodoo3 card. Later I'll put together a faster PC to try all these games again.

it does! I know Banshee isn't everyone's favourite but I really like the card.

hey! I personally haven't tried running it on Win10/11 but I found an article describing how you can make it work. Here's the link. classicgamefixes.wixsite.com/home/nba-live-99 Please let me know if that works! have a good weekend!

yeah another great job from 3DFX Voodoo 1 card! Last night I tested it with Voodoo Banshee and the difference isn't that big.

hey! yeah I totally agree the software always has its special charm. I only noticed how dark it looks in the capture after I saw the video, while I play it was totally fine on my screen. I made some adjustments so hopefully for the next video it should look better!

Yes that was my plan initially but I wanted to give it a try and see how Voodoo 1 would run the game. Voodoo 1 is impressive. Apart from the menus and in-game close ups the game plays very smoothly.

best I can do with a serial MS Mouse with a ball in it haha

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 yep! I make these videos just to show how big of a difference 3dfx made. It's insane haha

it does! sometimes the game stops for 2-3 seconds and continue after but I think that's a bug with Quake. I will continue playing when I have more time. I want to play and finish Quake 1 and 2, then Unreal.

@@efpcvintageplanet3406 yep! I love it haha

@@efpcvintageplanet3406 yeah it did quite well! I was running 166mhz before and now 200mhz. I can't see much difference between 2 cpus

@@supermario8416 I played the game for 10-15mins and it was playable but wasn't great. I think I will leave the game for later. I want to play and finish the single player :)

Yes you are right, the game had higher FPS! But still it was dipping too low so I decided to leave the game for a higher spec PC.

I turned all the graphics features on, I think if I was a little more reasonable I'm sure the FPS would have been much higher, so it's my fault in a way haha.

Yes! I still like how Software looks but Glide has its own charm.

oh interesting, I didn't know that! Was that pre-installed or was in the CD? I used Win98SE for a long time but I don't remember ever seeing or playing this game.

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay It was on the installation CD. You had to be a geek rummaging through to find it. There also was a demo of an Age of Empires.

@@prenomnom9746 You are right! I just had a look. Under cdsample/demos/ there are 6 demos. Age of Empires, MS Golf, Motocross Madness, MS Money, Monster Truck Madness 2 and MS Pinball. It's so weird I never noticed that. Well, thanks for telling me!

hey thanks! I think later I'll give the game another try with a different PC and controller. I think Win95 drivers are a little flaky.

This is a great question and my plan is to test that today and upload the video today or tomorrow. I had a quick look at GTA2, Quake (GLQuake), Quake II and Mortal Kombat 4. All worked good apart from Quake 2, explosions were a bit hard on the Voodoo1 card I think.

I had to make some changes to the system since the one I used while I record this gameplay video kept giving me bluescreens every few minutes. I think IDE controller on the motherboard is dead. I put together a different PC. Upgraded CPU to 200Mhz and RAM to 128 (Unreal didn't like 32MB). Here is the timedemo: ruclips.net/video/8QbbS6mriKM/видео.html I actually wanted to play the game but unfortunately the PC couldn't handle it. Average 12FPS dropping down to 2-3FPS didn't seem playable. I think Unreal will need to wait for another PC build. Please let me know if you want to see any other games with that PC. I usually put the specs in the video descriptions.

Oh yeah, good idea! I think I have that game, I'll go check and make a video of it.

it definitely does work really well! Runs at 600x480 with "normal" level lighting quality. Didn't have any stutter. The only issue I had was the controller getting disconnected.

Yeah good idea! I'm very impressed by the Voodoo1 card, I thought it is going to be much slower than that but it's doing a great job! For Unreal and Quake I have a plan for long play video, I'll probably play and finish the games.

it was! this is the primary reason I'm making these comparison videos, just to make it very clear :)

Larry is on my list too but I'm not sure if youtube would allow me upload the gameplay haha.

Yeah I watched few other gameplay videos, there are a lot of secrets. Unfortunately the hard drive this game was installed on died and I couldn't go back to starting the game from the beginning again. Maybe in the future I'd play it again and hopefully paying more attention to the details :)

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay : )

@@MarcKloos You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilms Brian Moriarty? Why it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells. Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom today!

hah yeah that seems a bit dodgy

I think it was! FIFA98, WC98 and FIFA99 were the most fun FIFA games I've ever played. But I think I like WC98 most.

hah this game has a great soundtrack. I love The Red Diesel most I think.

it was a little more than "not easy"! rides fail and collapse too often. shops run out of supplies too often... everything happens too quickly and too often. feels like a whack a mole game more than a management game.

That was the first thing I noticed with the game, running on DOS with standard DOS drivers for AWE64. Compared to all other games the sound is very clear. They've done a great job.

I heard that this project was started as a TV show but Spielberg thought it would be too costly to make it, then it turned into a game after having a chat with G. Lucas.

Same! I heard about it just recently, a friend recommended.

Hey! Welcome back. The Dig turns out to be a great game! I'm really enjoying it. I'll try to finish it tonight if I can. I guess total play time is about 8-10 hours for me

my best guess is from wiki: A screamer pipe is a type of exhaust configuration fitted to some automotive turbocharged petrol engines with an external wastegate set-up, which vents the waste exhaust to the atmosphere through a separate un-muffled pipe, rather than back into the main exhaust track. This exhaust setup is known for its loud noise.

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay oh ok

thanks!

yep! also there is only one key to do everything hah

Yes totally! I have a good collection of CPUs, I might do an Episode 2 with a faster CPU. I actually have a WinChip 200mhz, I want to see how it performs.

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay that would be interesting to see

Thanks! I think it shows how big the difference is between software and 3DFX. I started playing 3DFX version first and it wasn't looking that impressive. I only noticed the difference after trying the software version :)

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay yes, the difference is really huge between glide and software mode

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 I think I'd happily play this game in low res software mode too. it looks good.
