One nice thing about Glide in both Freespace games was that you got free glowmaps on everything, long before the full glowmap feature was implemented by SCP.

Glide was the main reason I stuck with 3dfx cards in those days. Most of the games I played either had extra graphical effects on Glide or simply ran better with it. Descent 3 was another example of this.

you connected two PCI voodoo's with a sli connector (similar to nvidia's implementation, but it was much much more rigid in its... well, placement.

This was just a floppy cable with two wires switched around, so you could make your own, longer one pretty easily.

I think I still have one old system running a Voodoo 5500. Probably the last card 3DFX made.  It was an old gaming machine that later became an internet sharing machine (Sygate) to handle my 3 shotgunned 56k modems (before my ISDN) for my FS2 playing.  Now it's either a test station for old cards or MP3 player for the garage.

Ages? It doesn't seem like you have all that many ages to spend lurking.

Oh quiet, you only have 3 years on him 

but yeah, ages seems kinda like an exaggeration

[Stormkeeper]

Just because the title is ages doesn't mean you have to use "ages" ...

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Time is relative.  At 13 a year may seem to be ages while at almost 40 they are starting to fly by way too fast. 

[Mars]

And I thought it was bad at 18 ¹¹/₁₂

I mean, once you turn 20, they all say it's downhill from there.

And there's the feeling that high school sucked, and middle school sucked, and hell, it sucked to be a little kid, so you feel like a quarter of your life has gone by, with no good results, so you'd better make things better for yourself. Then you realize you don't have a job, you don't have a girlfriend and haven't in a year and change, and all your friends have moved away for college. Then you feel old.

[Stormkeeper]

Actually, I'm almost 19, and I'm already starting to feel old.

[General Battuta]

It's not downhill from 20; that's a myth.

According to a broad range of research, life satisfaction tends to improve markedly with age. It's a very happy thing.

[Stormkeeper]

But sexual pleasure decreases markedly with age. It's a very sad thing.

[Mars]

After the girlfriends I had in high school, anythings an improvement 

[Flipside]

But sexual pleasure decreases markedly with age. It's a very sad thing.

I'm 36, haven't noticed this yet In fact, I'd say it increases with experience.

[Stormkeeper]

Wait till you hit the 40s, and take the same number of minutes to get excited.

[Flipside]

Maybe, maybe not, to be honest, age has always struck me as being far more in the mind than the body, especially with things like that

[General Battuta]

But sexual pleasure decreases markedly with age. It's a very sad thing.

Actually, as Flipside says, it tends to increase with age, even into the fifties. Age is kind to women in particular in this respect.

Hmmm. You have a point.

[Bobboau]

I've been here seance before here was here or anywhere else for that matter.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm 17.

By the way, how does Descent 3 look like on Glide? I've never seen it on anything other than an ATi Rage 128, TNT2 Pro, Intel Graphics and ATi Radeon X200.
