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.

Yes, I had to play Quake 2 on 320x240 due to low performance of my S3 Virge, but still got floored by the lighting.

I was trying to remember the first hardware acceleration I saw - it was the S3 Virge.

Die it do anything? I remember S3 cards saying you would get HW acceleration, but it was impossible to tell a difference to software rendering.

It had better lighting at least.
