Yeah, it might.  Too bad S3 Virge doesn't do bilinear filtering.  I
suggest the Virge be scrapped and the port be done to Glide for 3dfx.

Even easier, just do a Wolfenstein Quake TC (TC for "total
conversion").  Then you get Verite' and OpenGL support, meaning 3dfx,
NEC PowerVR, RIVA 128 (at least under Windows NT), Permedia, etc.
