The big issues with it are that you need to use DgVoodoo's wrapper to get get the hardware acceleration working, and there is a trick to getting the included Redbook audio tracks to play (recreating the shortcut, I think. I actually have the GoG version running on a Windows 11 machine right now. It was DirectX/Direct3D 5(?) or software only rendering. I don't think, and I could be wrong, that Jedi Knight has either Glide or A3D support. Since it's a modified Quake engine, it also runs as smooth as butter using the 3dfx Mini Driver.
Half-Life has pretty good A3D support, and it looks good on a Voodoo 2 at 800圆00. Wing Commander Prophecy was made pretty much from the ground up for 3dfx cards I was just playing it last night and it looked and ran beautifully. Since FS2's nebula effects look much better in 32-bit colour, I'd hesitate to recommend that game as a Glide showcase. I haven't tried out Freespace 2 in Glide, but I do know that it's restricted to 16-bit colour mode when rendering that way. Descent: Freespace works very well under Glide and looks better than under Direct3D, mainly due to a registry setting that bashes the textures down under Direct3D. On a Voodoo 2, it should look and run great, but I haven't tried this yet either! fine, but the lack of proper alpha blending hurt the experience a bit. I played through it on an ATI Rage Pro AGP card back in the day and it was. Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire pretty much requires a 3dfx card to run properly and look good. I am eager to give it a shot in a little bit, but others seem to have good results. Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is notorious for playing poorly on anything but an era-appropriate video card.
Descent 2 had a Glide port, but I haven't taken the time to try it out just yet.
I know that I have an EAX patch for Unreal Tournament and that the original Unreal supported A3D I think that checking "Use Hardware 3D Audio" in the game's settings should enable A3D support. Any Unreal Engine game (Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, Klingon Honour Guard) works brilliantly under Glide. NFS 3 performs especially well on the Voodoo 2, just make sure to check "Disable sync to frame" in the graphics card's OS-wide options so that the framerate doesn't get capped at 50% of your monitor's refresh rate. Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit and Need For Speed: High Stakes. Here's what I've found works great in Glide: I have a similar retro PC setup with a PII-450, Voodoo 2, GeForce 2 GTS, and 256 MB of RAM.
