You don't need a 3D card for Unreal Tournament 2004 :p

Does UT2k4 utilize 3d cards? Yes.

Scorched Earth - The Mother of All Games. Although, suppose that is more middle aged than old. Old would be more of the kind utilized with a tape drive (for you young people, tapes preceeded those large 5.25" floppy diskettes). Zork and Forbidden Forrest come to mind.

Now curious if I saved any of the tapes. Even better, wonder if I have any of my first punch cards applications (perhaps in the box with the 8" drive for the Wang 720C).
