What is the evidence for 3DFX on this title? Mobygames is the only reference online currently that links this game to hardware acceleration.

The original attribute was added too long ago, so there is no source, but perhaps there was some confusion with the "Creative 3D labs" support, there was a Voodoo variant.

What I could find out by some googling, there was no 'Creative 3D Blaster' with 3DFX chips in 1997, and the first such card was 'Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2' (with 8 or 12 MB RAM) released in 1998.

(The 1995 'Creative 3D Blaster' used a Rendition Verite 1000 chipset).

So I guess the backside cover specification text (also listing 4MB ram with the gfx card) refers to the older card - it is dated 1997.

I've removed the attribute.
