A titolo informativo, ed anche come appunto per un eventuale sessione di gioco futura, annoto che è possibile giocare anche alla versione per schede 3dfx di questo gioco
(con i relativi ed evidenti vantaggi a livello di grafica) anche con i moderni sistemi operativi, e che esistono dei fan che ne hanno migliorato e aggiornato alcune textures.
Ecco la procedura:
quote:
3. 3DFX
- Windows XP
* Download and install the great Zeckensack's '''GlideWrapper 0.84c[http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/]''' using the self-install.
* Run '''Configurator''' (the utility coming with Glide Wrapper)
* Into ''Profile Selection'', tick ''Application specific overrides'' and choose ''Subculture''. Hit Ok.
* Access the SC executable file (''SC3DFX.exe''), right-click on it and choose ''Properties''.
* Choose Compatibility tab, and check ''Execute with a screen size of 640 x 480''.
* Hit OK and run the game. It should run, then ''appears'' to crash (back to desktop, with a grey window, and the mouse pointer stucked into it) : hit your Windows key to get your mouse back, then click on the grey window : you should reach the menu, and the game is fully playable.
- Windows XP Mode (Windows Virtual PC - Windows 7)
The game will run only in Software Mode, since Windows Virtual PC doesn't map correctly Direct3D. Several glitches and time-based problems appear, making the game poorly usable.

Ah comunque io ho smanettato un po' con il GlideWrapper settando la risoluzione limite a 1280x1024, la risoluzione nel profilo specifico con
"Try high res", Lod Bias +1.00 e Anisotrophy a 4X ed il gioco va che è una meraviglia. Credo che si possano alzare al massimo tutti i valori senza problemi, anche se probabilmente i risultati a livello visivo saranno pressochè impercettibili.
Qui il link al sito delle nuove textures:
http://www.ccalonnec.fr/DownloadCenter/files/subculture/rtpack/Sub_Culture_RTP20_750.rarLe textures sono dei semplici file BMP, e vanno estratti e sovrascritti a quelli presenti nella cartella
GAMETEX nella directory in cui avete installato il gioco
!
Si lo so tutta 'sta roba scritta può spaventarvi, ma in realtà è più facile a farsi che a dirsi, e comunque vale tutti i 5 minuti persi, perchè tra la versione win95(render software) e quella 3dfx passa per l'appunto un
"Abisso" <--(notato il gioco di parole 
) !
Spero di esser stato utile a qualcuno almeno 1/1000000 di quanto lo sia questo sito;D!
