You can use dgVoodoo / dgVoodoo 2 to replicate and replace / wrap the original 3dfx acceleration and offer modern video options to render the game with filtering options at higher resolutions. Just be aware the 4:3 screen ratio will be lost and you will be left with a stretched image.

Just make sure you download it from a safe source before installing and virus check it. Firefox currently gives a warning about unsafe software for this website, so be wary. Although I've used it in the past few years, I haven't used it lately. I'm not sure why the site has a dangerous software warning now. After downloading Firefox actually indicates it contains a virus. I don't know the current status as I haven't used this site or software for quite a few years. Just use caution testing this if you're going to use it. IE: Use at own risk! I'm not going to link it for these reasons. You'll be able to find it.

You can also use dgVoodoo for some other old 3dfx games. ie:Need for Speed 2 SE

In 2020 (aka the year of the virus) the game isn't running for me on Windows 10. You also might need DirectPlay compatibility turned on. Although at this point that still isn't fixing it. I suspect it's the game copy protection kicking in. You may or may not experience this depending on whether you have a cd/dvd/bluray drive in your pc.



Options (which I'm not going to try right now).

• dgVoodoo 2 - Might get around this
  
• GoG version of the game - more compatible, better tested, better maintained.
  
• Virtual machine - run in a true Win 9x environment
  
• Old PC - run on a Jurassic era PC and experience the game in its true glory!

I may revisit this game at a later date.

Opinion:
My personal preference is to run the game as intended, whether with a graphics wrapper or not, @ 640x480 with black bars and the original 30fps framerate, as that is how the game played and and looked best in its day (as I first played it) and now. It's a retro game and that's how it should be treated.

I also want to take this chance to recommend another motorbike game which is a blend of arcade and sim style racing, with a graphics style similar to the era. Although it leans more towards arcade racing which is why it's still a fun game to play. While it's not as extreme and colourful as MR1, it's still a great game in its own right.

Although it's labelled a GP racing game, the graphics reminded me a lot of MotoRacer 1 (the best of the Moto Racer series imho). You can probably still get this game somewhere / somehow. I still own the DVD version. From memory the extreme mode was very arcadey and unrealistic but probably fun for the same reason. Featuring the amazing Valentino Rossi on the box cover.

Have fun!
