Nowadays most videocards can handle more than one monitor. I have my tv, lcd screen and crt monitor connected and I'd like to play some games that make use of this setup.  What games could I try?

Are there actually PC games that already support this?  I've heard of people talking about adding support for it in new games, and I know there are ways of do-it-yourself multi-monitor gaming, but I didn't know there were PC games that support multiple monitors as a regular feature out of the box.

The Microsoft flight sims support multiple monitors.  I know there are other games out there, but I have never tried it.  It would be handy for WC3 and the like.

Some driving games would be nice with three screens, he he he Smiley or maybe 4 with a tiny little screen on top of the main monitor to act as a rear view mirror.

Hmmm... Deus ex supports multiple screens. I've got that game, but never knew that.  It all looks pretty impressive, but not very convenient. Especially not for me, with 3 very different screens. Still cool though.

I think Quake 3 supports multiple screens, I could be wrong though.

Oh, I see I am by that list  Tongue

Anything that runs off of the Quake III engine supports multiple screens, Deus Ex included.

I wish it was, it would make the game look a whole lot better. I believe they use the quake 2 engine, but it might also be a heavy modified quake 1 engine.

The problem with these games is that they all requre a matrox card, and I have a geforce, so I don't think it'll work. I can't even spread my desktop out over 3 screens. 2 is the maximum.

Actually, Deus Ex used the Unreal Tournament engine, at least from what little I found by doing a google search.
