Hello,

I would like to run Tomb Raider 1 on my Win 98 PC using glide wrapper (if possible). The game works for me but is heavily pixelated (like running on a VM without 3D accel). I do not have a Voodoo card and wrapper is the only way for me. I have nglide installed and it detects a couple of win glide games. However, not this one. Could someone please help to enable glide work for this game under 98 dos mode? Thanks!!

Set 'cycles=75000' in 'dosbox.conf'.
3Dfx patch is located here.
To remove borders on a gunfire, hit F3 key ingame.

Looks like the free Glidos accounts are still available:

Remember that VOGONS has a Glidos sub-forum: GliDOS
