The 3dfx Voodoo Worked So Well Nobody Saw the Problem (playstationcouch.com)

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

A friend of mine had one and he was so proud of it. At the time I didn't have the notion of it, or how groundbreaking they were.

They were magical. When I got my first 3D accelerator (Voodoo 2, 8 MB) I would just marvel at how quickly the weapon switching worked in Jedi Knight.
