RetroCompaqGuy | 3D Acceleration Comparison Ep6: Havoc - S3 Virge/DirectDraw software @vetzRetro | Uploaded August 2012 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Havoc from Reality Bytes. This very early DirectX game released in 1995 came with support for the S3 Virge on a OEM release in 1996. When the game is accelerated on the S3 Virge it really outshines the normal DirectDraw version, but in the dark levels I feel the software version provides more atmosphere. This is a S3 Virge exclusive game, so forget about getting it accelerated on anything else. Everything is set to maximum, so this really test the game to the limit. Music from the CD audio track as usual :)
