No, it wasn't my friend.  I'm not saying that the image quality on the
Voodoo 2 is the best in the world, I'm just saying I can live with its
visual problems.  However, I still think that Voodoo 2 16 bit looks better
than TNT 16 bit- probably because I like to play my games on the highest
brightness setting- I can't stand a dark image.  I finally did notice
banding in the skies, but the only place this happens is on the flyby and in
the Nali Castle level.  And if anyone is offended by my opinions, don't take
them personally.  I'm not trying to flame anybody.
