I installed the game right now (thanks tr32z, i have the same problem) and i think this game maybe have poor visuals in 3dfx mode than in software mode, the colors are too bad, the resolution too low... the visuals sucks too much. I don´t remember this when i played years ago in a Voodoo Banshee, maybe somethings wrong, or not ? maybe the time passed to bad for this game (not for NFSIII, it´s amazing at this times).

I run the game on a Voodoo 5 AGP, PII 450, 512Mb PC100 and Gigabyte BX2000 motherboad (Intel 440BX). SO is WIN98SE

This game have full support of a Voodoo card acceleration ? Talk about NFSSE
