you
can load the software on the cd, read the manual, and run it in keyboard
emulation mode.

You
should be able to play the new "enhanced" version with just about any
semi-decent accelerator. It's not just "voodoo" enhanced, in fact is
comes bundled with the STB Riva 128 card.
I
was wondering , though, and never got a good answer.. Okay, so BZ is
enhanced.. do any of the graphics enhancements carry over to the Voodoo1
cards? I don't see why it couldn't handle the extra jet plumes, chunky
explosions, dust, and other special effects..are these Voodoo2 extras
only or not?

The
difference is that the Enhanced version uses new, larger textures. The
reason it will not work on Voodoo1s is due to lack of texture memory.
2Mb just won't cut it. SO you need a card with more texture memory!
The
only exception for the Voodoo1s is the Pure3D, which comes with 6Mb
of RAM (2Mb Frame Buffer, 4Mb Texture RAM). This is why I bought a Pure3D!
No lame "reference-copy" cards for me (i.e. Diamond, Creative Labs,
etc.)
The
"enhanced" BattleZone works just fine on a Pure3D.
Of
course, now I just got my Quantum3D Obsidian2 X-24, the Pure3D is relegated
back to my old P-133 :)
Anyway,
hope I answered your technical question.
