Start in 1997, Intel launched the Pentium MMX chip, AMD is 3D nowz! The technology is counter-strength, just like I comment at the time, although both parties played quite exciting and lively on the boxing platform, but for 3D fashionable themes, they are amateur.
VOODOO is undoubtedly the most professional 3D graphics handler, Pentium MMX sells 3D effect in front of VOODOO, really can be used to do the dance big knife in front of VOODO, and VOODOO is actually a pure 3D effect card, 2D part to play a computer The display card is dealt with, but many games such as "myth" (myth), "Need for Speed 2 SE" have specified VOODOO support, even some computers The game must be VOODOO to play, then VOODOO scenery is unlimited, the Pentium MMX logo on the box of Many computer games in Europe and America is replaced by 3DFX Voodoo.
In the past, a "Time Commando" calls the revival of action computer games with fake 3D reel mode, and when the 3D era is really coming, no one thinks of this wave of leading characters It is actually a virtual sexy and a female role that is a person who is a "Tomb Raider" with the 3D wave and the revival of the 3D wave and the action game. It is launched in just four years. Works, several golden plates, becoming another legend of computer games.
, at this time, ID Software has woke up, and finally launched Quake, John promised in 1997, the real first person, 3D virtual design game did not let players disappointed, in addition to hardware requirements, I think everyone will not There are more criticisms to it, after all, this step is very hard.
The computer game industry is lively. Various 3D games have begun to pursue visual shock, and in order to have a good performance, almost all game production groups at that time will give VOODOO to demonstrate.
However, Microsoft has just stabilized in the migration of Windows9x, so Direct3D has become the important weight of the microsoft's left and right 3D display chip development.
Over the years, Microsoft plays the same role. At the beginning, they will follow the weak, and willing to be in the weak, but they are coming to myself, and I will die. So this time, Direct3D provides a public base engine for products that do not have 3D functions. Under this engine, many games have been supported, but their effects and VOODOO universal engines, and some high quality 3D cards The performance of Direct3D is too unreasonable than people compared to the OpenGL engine.
OpenGL computers.
However, in 2001, when the VioDoo series made of 3DFX was merged by the opponent, and the Voodoo series was sluggish, I seem to see that the company did not have a good result of the company that had written with Microsoft.
However, this sniper war also reveals us: No one can block the development and application speed of hardware products in the computer game industry, even the giants such as Intel and Microsoft can not.
At the end of 1997, Microsoft launched the "Age of Empires", and the results have been achieved, and people began to renew the ability of Microsoft to make computer games.
At the same time, due to the performance of the 3D chip, the family-playing game company headed by Sega began to transplant their work in a large number of places, and also received support and love. However, the time of the relative, the network has brought more inspiration and courage to the game maker, the launch of "Ultima Online" is announced, and the Titan (Giant God) of the network role game is born.
