Way back in November 2020 I bought a random cheap Pentium MMX 233 PC on ebay - and discovered to my delight that it contained an S3 ViRGE, an early 3D graphics card introduced in 1995. This set me on a journey to track down, test, document and preserve every single game released that supported this obscure and not very good graphics card.

But one game eluded me until today - Gremlin Interactive's DOS racer Fatal Racing, or Whiplash, depending on where in the world you're from. In this video I tell the story of how a very helpful viewer helped me to preserve the game and finally take a look at it myself!
