The game looked quite Unreal for its time. Played the everloving crap out of it on my OG iMac w/ a 8mb VooDoo2 card.

Indeed, because NT 3.51was by no means meant for gaming, there is no DirectX support, only some Open GL support.
Anyways, Epic games decided to develop Unreal on a NT platform - so the game will start and will work in NT 3.51.

I played it first rendered in software on a S3 Virge GX/P233, but still looked incredibly good.

Think my Voodoo 2 actually came with this game, and Incoming and possibly Descent 3, and a weird racing game.

I do have an actual RTX card on the very same machine I installed this NT 3.51 running Unreal. It looks like older NT can get along with newer CPUs like Ryzen 3900X.

the original iMacs didn't use a Voodoo 2.
no macs did, though they could be made to work. i gave my stepdad my Voodoo 3 when i upgraded, he flashed it over to work on Mac. we had it in a 8500/200.
iMacs couldn't do this though, they didn't have a expansion slot.
edit: i was wrong. see the following comment.

The very first Bondi blue iMac (Rev. A) had a mezzanine slot for expansion. There was a VooDoo2 card which was produced to utilize this slot. I had the original Bondi blue iMac with the VooDoo2 mezzanine slot card.

Can't believe NT will even run it? I don't think I played UT until W98 maybe 95.
