Please see list on VOGONS for the latest updates: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=33483
Creep Clash - Retail release support. This game uses the same engine as Sento. The shareware version promises Impression support with 640x400 resolution with 65k color in the retail release. Uses Renderware API.
 
IceHawk - Bundled with the Matrox Impression as part of the 3D Superpack. Very little information can be found about this game and it appears this was not released in any other form. Ice Hawk, a jet-fighter simulation game, is also limited in functionality, but it displays intricate models of enemy planes and the 3-D terrain of the ice planet Valkor. Source.
 
Sento - Bundled with Matrox Impression as part of the 3D Superpack and also released as combo along with Creep Clash (image of disc). Also promises Impression support with 640x400 resolution with 65k color. Uses Renderware API.
 
Specter MGA (aka Specter VR) - Bundled with the Matrox Impression as part of the 3D Superpack. According to this source; Specter MGA is a port of the game Specter VR to use Criterion's Renderware 3D API and 3D hardware acceleration provided by Matrox MGA 3D video card.
 
 
 
Matrox Millennium:
Released: June/July 1995

CGW articles: [ August 1995 - Page 1 - 2 ] [ October 1995 ]

Supported games:
NASCAR Racing - Bundled with the Matrox Millennium. Retail release with the CD-ROM version of the game.
Youtube Video: [ Comparison Millennium/NV1/software ]
 
Impression supported games (Renderware) are supposed to run on the Millennium, but I have not been able to get the 640x400 mode of both Creep Clash and Sento running on my Millennium card. Could be some sort of hardware check.

Debunked:
Games that are debunked come from a 13th of November 1995 press release from Creative and a 20th of September 1995 news article/press release.
 
Al Unser, Jr. Arcade Racing - No support in retail version.
Azreal's Tear - No support in retail version.
Ballz Out! - Game seems to have been never released.
Cybersled - Game never released for the PC. Only arcade and PSX.
Descent - No support in retail version.
M.I.A.: Missing in Action - Game released in 1998 with Direct3D support.
Polychrome - Game not released in the west. No information can be found if asian release supported CGL.
SU-27 Flanker - No support in retail version.
The Aquanaut's Holiday - PC version never released, only PSX.
 
 
Paradise Tasmania 3D:
Announced: 11. September 1995 Released: End of 1995
CGW advertisement November 1995: [ Page 1 ]
 
The Tasmania 3D did not support its own API, but was backed up by the major API's at the time, namely RenderWare, BRender and RenderMorphics. Source.
 
Supported games:
FX Fighter - Bundled game.
Tank Commander - Bundled game.
Both these discs look identical to the retail ones on Mobygames, so it is likely that there are no special OEM versions.
 
Three other supported titles were:
 
Air Power
CyberSpeed
SU-27 Flanker
 
These are the official supported games that is known, but more games may in theory work with the Tasmania 3D as long as they are based upon a supported API.

Debunked:
3D Baseball - Game never released for Windows. PSX and Saturn only. Crystal Dynamics did mention this game in a Nvidia press release 12th of November 1995. Apparently this never materialized.
 
Absolute Zero - Again a game that was mentioned in the press release. I have searched through the retail CD and readme, with no mention of NV1 support. Internet also says nothing about NV1 support for this game beside in the press report. To put the final nail in the coffin, this game is not mentioned on Nvidias official NV1 site (archived).
 
Daytona USA - Listed on Nvidias NV1 site as a OEM / forthcoming title and as released with support in a Nvidia press release on 6th of May 1996. Though this should not be taken as proof as the Mechwarrior II version which never came out (see below for more details) are mentioned in the exactly same way. One person over at Assembler games mention this game running on the NV1, but he also speaks about Virtua Fighter 2 (which has to be VF: Remix). An explanation is that he could've mixed up Nascar Racing and Daytona USA. It is not bundled with the Diamond Edge 3D 3400XL, and I have found no proof that a special OEM version was bundled with any other brand. Remember that this game came out in 1996, at a time when the NV1 was getting outdated heavily with every passing month. The funny thing about the press release from May is that the game didn't ship untill October of 1996. Most of the files on the retail CD along with press reviews confirm this. The retail version readme.txt file only claims support for the Saturn NV1 controller, but this does not work, atleast not on my system with the Edge3D I own. Another point is that the retail release does not have any .dll files or any other indication (mentions in readme, double installers, etc) as Virtua Cop has, another Sega game that was released in retail with NV1 support. In the end I conclude with that support was probably included at some point of development, but it was pulled at some point before release. The team probably found out that the NV1 was outdated with inadequate performance and rather set to work on the Direct3D patch for Daytona USA Deluxe, and thus giving the new version of the game another selling point (profit deal as Michael Pachter calls it).
 
Destruction Derby - Diamond got a exclusive agreement with the developer of this game Psygnosis to make ports for both the Diamond Stealth 2000 (S3 Virge) and Diamond Edge 3D. No information found if this version for the NV1 ever came out, but the S3 Virge version did. My guess is that Diamond cancelled the NV1 version when they figured out that the NV1 had no future and that they already had a large and good bundle on the Edge3D.
 
Mixman - Spin Control - This is not a game, but a music program. Very hard to find any information. Is mentioned at the Nvidia NV1 site as a released title.
 
US Navy Fighters - Mentioned in the Nvidia press release as a game with upcoming support. I have checked the released CD and readme with no mention of NV1 support. Internet also has nothing on support. My guess is that the port was cancelled by EA.
 
 
Other possible games:  
From this source I found this:
Quote:
...already announced Tomcat Alley, Ecco the Dolphin, and Comix Zone. These titles will all be uniquely enhanced for the NV1 accelerator chip...
 
This caught my attention as those games are visible in the Diamond Edge 3D 3400 bundle on Assembler games forum. Blueshogun who owns this bundle says he has not been able to get his NV1 running and that these games have not been tested. Anyway, all of these are not 3D games, but 2D and FMV. NV1 support is still unconfirmed.
 
Mechwarrior II NV1 version:
This version got cancelled during production. An interesting interview with a programmer at Activision explains what happened. Nvidia was apparently so sure it would be released that they made a press release about it on May 6th 1996.

Debunked:
The 3D titles ATI had on their own website is well documented with the API they are running on.
 
Hyperblade - A user here on vogons said it was supported, it is not. Direct3D only.  
Heavy Gear - Stiletto (a forum moderator) said this had a rumoured OEM release. I can not find the source for this, but the game only supports Glide, Rredline and Direct3D.
Interstate 76 - Another rumored supported game from Stiletto, only support for Glide, PowerSGL, Rredline and Direct3D in the Gold edition.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99 - Support stated on this webpage, but the game itself only supports Glide and Direct3D.

Official wrapper games:
Quake - Patch available. GLQuake wrapper. Guide with downloads to get it running here.
 
Debunked:
Most of the games and programs listed below come from a press release from S3 in May 1996 and a driver readme.txt file:
 
Games:
Actua Golf - PC version never released.
Alien Trilogy - No support in retail release.
Confirmed Kill - Game cancelled. Had an advertisement in the December 1996 issue of CGW that it would ship with support.
Cyberspeed - No support in retail release.
Demon Driver - A 3D racing game, "Demon Driver" were in development when the company went out of business in 1997. Source.
Flight Unlimited - No support in retail release.
Flying Nightmares 2 - PC version cancelled.
Hyperblade - Released with Direct3D support.
Mega Race 2 - No support in retail release. Even had an advertisement in the December 1996 issue of CGW that it would ship with support.
Microleague Baseball 6.0 - Unknown, but no information about support can be found on the internet or on the box/system requirements.
NCAA Final Four 97 - No support in retail release.
NHL 97 - No support in retail release.
Stratosphere - Game released in 1998 with Direct3D support.
Syndicate Wars - No support in retail release.
Rocket Jockey - No support in retail release.
Terra Nova - No support in retail release.
Virtua Fighter - No support in retail release.
 
Programs:
No information has been found if any of these programs actually supported S3D API.
 
3D FX - A tool for creating 3d graphics and animation, later called Asymetrix Web 3D. Source
Brender - BRender (abbreviation of Blazing Renderer) is a development toolkit and a real-time 3D graphics engine for computer games, simulators and graphic tools. Source.
Pioneer - VRML browser.
Pioneer Pro - VRML browser.
Render Ware - RenderWare is a 3D API and graphics rendering engine used in video games, Active Worlds, and some VRML browsers. Source.
True Space 2 - TrueSpace (styled as trueSpace) was a commercial 3D computer graphics and animation software. Source.
Stereo VR & VR WorkShop+ - 3D graphics tools. Source
Web 3D - A tool for creating 3d graphics and animation.
 
Other possible games:
Screamer - This game has no retail support for S3D, but several sources [ 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ] state this game was bundled with the Number Nine Reality 332FX card. The question is then; was it accelerated for the S3 Virge? Chances are high, as two press releases [ 1 - 2 ] mentions this game along with FX Fighter, Destruction Derby, Mech Warrior II, Havoc, Actua Soccer, and Terminal Velocity, which all have in common that they are released games with confirmed S3D support. If anyone owns this version, or have any information, please reply.

Tomb Raider - Patch available for retail release.
 
UEFA Champions League 1996/1997 - Retail release support. (mystique fix)
 
 
Debunked:
The Matrox Mystique doesn't have alot of games to debunk. The main reason behind this is that Matrox produced all the cards themselves and also that MSI was so quickly abandoned infavour of Direct3D and also the Matrox m3D card. The archived Matrox website also have good information of what API the games are running on. All games listed here are Direct3D. The ones listed in the "Energized" section are Direct3D or MSI, the ones that are not specified I've added below.
 
iF-22 - Not defined on the Matrox webpage, but is a Direct3D game.
Moto Racer - OEM version that was part of the bundle with the Mystique 220, but it is running on optimized Direct3D.
Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business - On the disc there is just an empty folder with a .txt file for the Mystique patch. According to several sources [ 1, 2, 3 ] found on Google Groups, the patch was never released. CD Access who sold Tomb Raider also states no support for Unfinished Business.
VR Sports: VR Baseball - Direct3D, though there is a patch for Mystique cards, which is a fix/optimization.
Winter Race 3D - Not defined on the Matrox webpage, but is a Direct3D game.
War Gods - Not defined on the Matrox webpage, but is a Direct3D game.

Debunked:
 
Games:
Actua Golf - A press release states that this game will get support, but it never came out for the PC.
Actua Soccer / VR Soccer 96 - A game which is listed with support not one, but at several places. Here on Vogons it comes from Swaaye's post and this thread. It is also listed in two press releases (1 - 2) and here. The game never game out with Speedy3D support. It was probably intended to be supported at some point during development, but the confusion probably comes from the fact that it was CGL supported. The Creative 3D Blaster PCI also supported CGL along with Speedy3D and the driver CD included a patch to run the game in CGL mode on this card. This is probably what Jankjaer was confused about in his statement. The different bundles on the V1000 cards are well documented and none of them include Actua Soccer / VR Soccer. Bjorn3D, a Rendition webpage back in the days also lists this game with only CGL support.
Agile Warrior - Game released with Direct3D support, but is said to support the Verite here and here.
Confirmed Kill - Game never released. Verite source.
Cyber Gladiators - Bundled with the Sierra Screamin' 3D. Game released with Glide and Direct3D support. The bundle version was Direct3D as well (but advertised as Rendition Ready). See my thread for more information.
Deathtrap Dungeon - Game released with Glide, ATICIF and Direct3D, but was apparently intended (Source: 1 - 2) for the Verite too at some point.
Flight Unlimited - Mentioned in this press release. Game only released with CGL support.
Flying Nightmares II - Game cancelled. Verite sources: 1 - 2 - 3
Fury 3 - No retail support for the Verite (or any other accelerator). Mentioned two places ( 1 - 2 ) on the web.
Grand Slam 96 - Game released with Direct3D support. Verite source.
Heretic II (vHeretic2) - Listed by Stiletto in his post. According to this source only OpenGL is supported, which means you have to use Rendition's Mini-GL driver. Could be technical possible to use vQuake2 files (since the game is idTech2), but that would be an unofficial hack.
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries - Comes from Swaaye's list. Probably due to confusion since Rendition support was added in the Titanium editions, which was a re-release of all the Mechwarrior 2 games with expansions with some extra flavor.
NASCAR Racing - The game was according to a press release ported to the Verite as a hardware demo. Game not released with Speedy3D support.
NHL Powerplay 96 - Game released without any hardware acceleration support. Verite source.
Silent Thunder A-10 Tank Killer II - Bundled with the Sierra Screamin' 3D. Game released in retail with no 3D acceleration support. The bundle version was Direct3D exclusive (but advertised as Rendition Ready). See my thread on this subject.
Terminal Velocity - Mentioned in this press release. Game only released with S3D support.
Terracide - Game released with Direct3D support. Verite source.
The Divide: Enemies Within - Direct3D only. Rumour comes from here.
Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business - While the full game has support for Speedy3D, you would think the expansion has as well, but it doesn't.
Wipeout XL - Game released with Direct3D support. Verite source.
Zone Raiders - No support in retail release. Verite source.
