This is a pretty interesting article over at Tom's - it's basically a pictoral history of Nvidia and it's cards.
Take a look at the background pictures behind the cards while you're reading the article though - I'm trying to figure out what some of those old games are. Here's what I've come up with so far.
1: Panzer Dragoon
2: Quake it's Quake II, according to HOOFan1
3: Half-Life
4: Q3A
5: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter? Doesn't look like Rogue Squadron. X-Wing Alliance, according to ViRGE
6: Deus Ex
7: ??? (I'm really curious about this one -- anyone know what this is?) Giants: Citizen Kabuto, according to ArchAngel777 and many others
8: ??? probably IL-2 Sturmovik, according to ArchAngel777 and 43st
9: Battlefield...something. Battlefield 1942? uclaLabrat confirms it's Battlefield 1942
10: Halo
11: ??? thilan29 and several other think it might be one of the Colin Mcrae games, Udgnim thinks it might be Rallisport Challenge -- I'd have to go with Udgnim's guess here, based on screenshots of Rallisport
12: Max Payne
13: ??? Age of Mythology, according to taltamir -- evidently, the distinctive overgrown beetles that gave it away...
14: Deus Ex 2
15: KOTOR, not sure if it's I or II sticks435 confirms that it's KOTOR 1
16: Sims 2
17: WoW
18: CoH
19: SupCom
Some of those are wild guesses and may be wrong. I drew a blank on many of the older games . Anyways, it's interesting trivia, both as far as the cards and the old games. Maybe they'll do a feature on the history of ATI at some point.
:beer: and for everyone who's weighed in so far and helped satisfy my curiosity.
