A Stroll Down Memory Lane Best 3Dfx Glide Games.
The year was 1998. It was Christmas time and I had just received my very first computer, an AMD K6-2 running at 333MHz. Little did I know, from that day forward, my life would be changed forever.

One of the first such changes was my shift in focus from console games to PC gaming. A few months after getting my PC, I added a Diamond Monster II 3D graphics card powered by the 3Dfx Voodoo 2 chipset. It was an absolute screamer and took my gaming experience to a whole new level. We know how the story played out for 3Dfx, the graphics company that dominated the nascent 3D graphics industry for a few years in the late 90s.

Having a specialized 3D API was arguably both the highlight and the downfall for 3Dfx. The Glide API combined with Voodoo hardware truly enhanced the gaming experience and during the short few years that Glide reigned supreme, several games based its 3D implementation solely in this proprietary API.
