    Going from software rendering to hardware acceleration back then was good times.

    Quake II & IIIa

    Tribes & Tribes II

    Half-Life, TFC, Counter-Strike

    Morrowind

    Unreal

    Those moments will never return...

      Yep, I remember playing everything without a 3D card and then being completely blown away when I got my Voodoo2 and all the pixelation and jerkiness was suddenly gone. I left the little "3DFX" splash screen enabled for a while there just because I was so enamored with the whole experience.
