Quake 1 Engine Done Right

3D Realms announced Wrath: Aeon of Ruin a few days ago after teasing the retro FPS. Unlike most modern games, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin notably uses the now 24-year old Quake 1 engine.

While fan reaction has been positive so far, hardcore retro gamers who want to retro game properly have been asking if 3D Realms is adding support for older GPUs.

Implementing support for legacy hardware is actually not that complicated. What makes it hard is finding the hardware to test it.

YOU ASKED FOR IT, WE'RE BRINGING IT!

3DFX were so kind to send us a Voodoo 2 card with 12(!!) megs.
We're honored, proud and humbled to announce that @wrathgame will have 3DFX support!

Which is why 3D Realms is glad to announce that they got their hands on a 12MB Voodoo 2 card to test the port properly. They say its from 3Dfx, but 3Dfx has long been acquired by NVIDIA, so the hardware most likely came from the green camp.
