Does anyone have any ideas how to run this on Windows XP? Googling doesn't reveal any patches or fixes and fooling around with compatibility modes doesn't help either.

If anyone has been able to run it in XP, please share your wisdom.

Was it designed for the Windows 9x series ? AKA Windows 95 to ME. If it was, you might be better off tinkering with it yourself. I've had lots of problems getting games from that era to run on modern machines. Oh, and that compatibility mode doesn't even work have the time. All I can say is keep trying. One thing that might help ( might ) is changing the color resolution of your monitor, from 32 bit, to 16 bit. It worked on one of my games.

Well, if everything else fails, there's always the M$ Virtual Machine.

It seemed to be a 3dfx -game only but since I found out there's a -nofx option to the command line so that's not it either.

Maybe I should just install it to my oldies computer that has a voodoo card in it.

It might be better to do that.

Windows early 3Dfx games, these are of the nastiest kind. Maybe a glide emulator will help
