Marc is correct. Most 3DFX games use the Glide libraries, not Direct3D...
and one or two of those 70 games actually support the Voodoo ___RUSH__
chipset. If they were just Direct3D games, I'd have 3D accelleration (via
direct3D) with all 70 instead of just a couple, so it's not the numbers
that lie, it's the little hardware support logos the game venddors put on
the boxes.
