The Mystique and Mystique 220 are 2D, 3D, and video accelerator cards for personal computers designed by Matrox, using the VGA connector. The original Mystique was introduced in 1996, with the slightly upgraded Mystique 220 having been released in 1997.
History
Matrox had been known for years as a significant player in the high-end 2D graphics accelerator market. Cards they produced were excellent Windows accelerators, and the company's Millennium card, released in 1995, excelled at MS-DOS performance as well. With regard to 3D acceleration, Matrox stepped forward in 1994 with their Impression Plus. However, that card only could accelerate a very limited feature set, and was primarily targeted at CAD applications. The Impression could not perform hardware texture mapping, for example, requiring Gouraud shading or lower-quality techniques. Very few games took advantage of the 3D capabilities of Impression Plus, with the only known games being the three titles that were bundled with the card in its '3D Superpack' CD bundle: 3D fighting game, Sento by 47 Tek; 3D space combat game, IceHawk by Amorphous Designs, and Specter MGA (aka Specter VR) by Velocity.
Moto Racer: Matrox Mystique Enhanced Edition was a classic Windows motorbike racing game bundled with Matrox Mystique 220 cards in 1997, and like many OEM bundles, had a renderer that was optimised for this early 3D accelerator. So lets take a look!

The Matrox Mystique 1996 Build
Way back in 1996 I was enjoying life with my Packard Bell 100mhz pentium system and with the rise in the 3D accelerator, that Christmas I backed the Matrox Mystique. The card originally came with 3 full games to enjoy, scorched planet, mechwarrior 2 and destruction derby 2. Back in the day I couldn't play DD2 as my processor wasn't fast enough. This weeks build then is all about getting that game running, yes I still have the original disk and while some may think it a waste of time its one I'm super excited for.
BTW I can only apologise for the extremely poor quality of recording the screen. I'm still looking for a means of capturing these odd VGA resolutions but I hope to have something sorted soon. Also just noticed the microphone for the second half of this video has developed...

Hey everyone,
Playing around with some old hardware again. I hear these Matrox cards have superb VGA quality. I was curious and wondering if I could patch a problem with some Apogee games at the same time. More info bellow.

BTW I can only apologise for the extremely poor quality of recording the screen. I'm still looking for a means of capturing these odd VGA resolutions but I hope to have something sorted soon. Also just noticed the microphone for the second half of this video has developed a hissing sound. Aargh... I admit this video is a bit of a mess!

Way back in 1996 I was enjoying life with my Packard Bell 100mhz pentium system and with the rise in the 3D accelerator, that Christmas I backed the Matrox Mystique. The card originally came with 3 full games to enjoy, scorched planet, mechwarrior 2 and destruction derby 2. Back in the day I couldn't play DD2 as my processor wasn't fast enough. This weeks build then is all about getting that game running, yes I still have the original disk and while some may think it a waste of time its one I'm super excited for.
BTW I can only apologise for the extremely poor quality of recording the screen. I'm still looking for a means of capturing these odd VGA resolutions but I hope to have something sorted soon. Also just noticed the microphone for the second half of this video has developed a hissing sound. Aargh... I admit this video is a bit of a mess!

Hey everyone,
Playing around with some old hardware again. I hear these Matrox cards have superb VGA quality. I was curious and wondering if I could patch a problem with some Apogee games at the same time. More info bellow.
To find the patch for Keen Games and more on the issue:

The Mystique and Mystique 220 are 2D, 3D, and video accelerator cards for personal computers designed by Matrox, using the VGA connector. The original Mystique was introduced in 1996, with the slightly upgraded Mystique 220 having been released in 1997.
History
Matrox had been known for years as a significant player in the high-end 2D graphics accelerator market. Cards they produced were excellent Windows accelerators, and the company's Millennium card, released in 1995, excelled at MS-DOS performance as well. With regard to 3D acceleration, Matrox stepped forward in 1994 with their Impression Plus. However, that card only could accelerate a very limited feature set, and was primarily targeted at CAD applications. The Impression could not perform hardware texture mapping, for example, requiring Gouraud shading or lower-quality techniques. Very few games took advantage of the 3D capabilities of Impression Plus, with the only known games being the three titles that were bundled with the card in its '3D Superpack' CD bundle: 3D fighting game, Sento by 47 Tek; 3D space combat game, IceHawk by Amorphous Designs, and Specter MGA (aka Specter VR) by Velocity.
