Ok, i understand now why you can't read what's written on the box :D ;)
Well, where did you download the demo ? a website, i guess ?

ps : what driver for your Voodoo 3 are you using ?

that will be not enough ;)

Ehm, i found the box on the Net and i can read the verso :
Processor : Pentium 3 800 mhz
OS : Win98 / ME / 2000 / XP /XP64
Ram : 256 mb
Graphic : 32 mb compatible 100 % DirX9 + TTL
Dirx 9.0C

Non compatible with : Radeon 7000, Mobility IGP, 320/340, A3, VE, SSC
-------------------------------------------------
I have the feeling that will be difficult for a Voodoo 3.

Did you install Dirx 9.0C ?

Do you know where you found the driver that you're using ?

if it don't even support Radeon 7000, it's quite impossible to run this game on V3...
the only way, is to cheat the game that your card have T&L capabilities....
3DAnalyze will be a useful tool for this kind of job
No way a 3DFX collector...just a 3DFX die Hard Player~~

let the VooDoo Roars!!

Indeed, that will be probably very difficult perhaps even "mission impossible".
The first thing would be to update the driver with the last SFFT core.
I don't know also if the game supports the 16 bits..
