Parhelia's legacy

[Steve]

Surround gaming is back. Matrox have taken their DualHead2Go technology and extended it to support three display outputs. The result is triple-display surround gaming, driven by whatever graphics card tickles your fancy. Widescreengamingforum has a review.

an’t wait to replay all the games I have that work with the TripleHead2Go, and can’t wait to find out what future games will work. As we all know there are one or two developers/publishers that seem to have an inability to think outside the 4x3 box, but I believe things are changing. With top games like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, F.E.A.R and Half Life 2 happily working in widescreen, and now in surround with the TripleHead2Go, the “box thinkers” in the game dev/pub world must be feeling a little inadequate, or just plain lazy. We will just have to wait and see if they decide to accommodate us in the future.

Actually David pointed this review out to me, although I do recall talk about this last week, but I was busy uprooting and moving back to Bristol at the time.

Incidentally, my very first computer had a Matrox graphics card. It was a 2MiB Matrox Mystique 220 PCI
