Got a software bundle from a 6500. Three of the titles say "3D Accelerated for the 6500". They are Mechwarrior2,Weekend Warriorand Virtual Pool. Is there a special card inside?
Well, I guess on one hand it means "Marketing Hype" (since the iPhone, I think we forget how pitiful the old hype used to be).
On the other hand, I know for a fact that with Mechwarrior, the special RAVE version gives you nifty cloud textures...same blocky graphics otherwise, but in the original Mechwarrior, with no acceleration, you didn't even get that...just blue sky. That is what your special Rage chip gets you (I believe it as actually 2MB!).
I'll keep on blabbing...I still love Mechwarrior...anyway, the special verson with the 6500 also is the already updated 1.2 version, so you don't have to go hunting around the net to upgrade it.
Hmmm...I wonder if I still have my copy of NetMech somewhere?....
