How to play old 3dfx Pc Games on Nowadays Computers - Glide Emulator using OpenGl Free Download

I must admit it, i`m one of those guys who are suckers for "old" pc video-games that i grew up with, like the early Tomb Raider series, Carmageddon 2, Recoil (that great futuristic tank game i just love) and so much more. Just the other day, i was talking with a friend of mine how empty video games seam like nowadays, and how great they were back in the days, when we played carmageddon 2 and such. So, i got an urge to play this epic game again. I installed it,ran it, but the game gave an error, because these games are so old, my "hyper new computer system" isn`t compatible with thpse early kind of d3d/3dfx games.

So, searching around i found an easy solution. A so called "Glide emulator". You just install it, start any game, and if you have an option, choose 3dfs/glide, but most of the times the game chooses this glide emulation by itself. It even let`s you run the games in higher resolution then they did. You just sit comfortably, and play your favourite games. How does it do it? well, it emulates using OpenGl the 3dfs Glide. That simple.
Oldies but goldies, it`s a clichee, but sometimes, they seam like a breath of fresh air, in this oversaturated video-games jungle of world we`ve come to live in.
