Heheh, I ended up in the same boat. Enamoured with tile based rendering (and the lower price) I bought the PowerVR based Apocalypse 3dx which also had a shortage of supported titles.

All my school friends had 3dfx cards. Didn’t get to do 3D gaming until I bought a Radeon 8500 many years later!

Still have my 3dx actually...it was a very interesting card:
