Description: Experiencing the Creative Labs 3D Blaster VLB, a $350 graphics card from 1995 and one of the earlier attempts at a consumer 3D graphics standard. And specifically meant for 486 DOS computers! While others were catering to Pentium PCs and their fancy PCI slots, Creative took another route through this collaboration with 3Dlabs. So let's admire the card itself, go over some history and context, get things installed and configured in the LGR Woodgrain PC, and play some mid-90s 3D accelerated DOS games! ● LGR links: patreon.com/LazyGameReviews twitter.com/LazyGameReviews facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● You can grab the CT6200 3D Blaster VLB drivers and software here: vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=824 ● Here's an archive of the five bundled CGL games for the CT 6200: archive.org/details/C3DB_VLB_BUNDLE ● Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #Graphics
