I guess Matrox wasn't the inventor of "surround" type gaming.

:eek::eek:

With all the hype ooo and ahhhs about the Matrox Triplehead2go. They weren't the first to do surround/super wide gaming.

This been done OVER 20 YEARS AGO!.

Here are a few arcade games I found that uses multiple monitors. (they are played via Mame32 emulator + matox th2g).
Their release dates are as follows:
1986 Darius
1988 Ninja Warriors
1989 Darius II
1992 X-men












This one is dual screen though

I can confirm this also works across 3 monitors hooked up to two video cards (no TH2G required!) when using MameUI.

In fact, there are lots of multi-monitor customizations in MameUI, meaning using a TH2G is actually a handicap here.
