The 3dfx Voodoo wasn’t the first 3D card, or the most complete. It was the first that made games feel smooth. Four years later, Nvidia bought what was left of the company. What went wrong? #Voodoo #Gaming

      We really did just give up designing box art one day didn’t we? Now you’re lucky if they even give you a render of the card inside, normally it’s just a black box with a flat logo.

      I had one. I really remember the click as you booted a 3D game as the S3 graphics card switched off and display switched over to the Voodoo1. It has a cable bridging the display connection on the back. The Voodoo2 could do 2D graphics as well which killed quite a lot of cards like the S3.
