I have fond memories of playing Quake 2 for some time and then buying a Voodoo card. It suddenly looked like a totally different game. It wasn’t just the resolution and texture filtering - Quake 2 in GL mode used a totally different, dynamic lightning system and back then it was simply stunning.

I really liked that the Pure3D card [1] had a composite video output which allowed me to play Quake2 on my Apple //c monitor. Very bizarre retro future feel.

I remember seeing this in a store back in 97 and being blown away by the idea of Windows Games running on a TV. I cannot remember the game they were demoing but I remember it wasn't the most amazing demonstration. I think it was just the difference between the bright colours of Mario 64 compared with some very muddy looking racer.
