3dfx Press Release:
"And the Winner Is ... Aaron Breceda, You Rock!
Aaron Receives 3dfx's Latest Voodoo5 Board Hand-Delivered by Eidos
Cyber-Vixen Lara Croft
LA CRESCENTA, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- 3dfx Interactive® Inc. (Nasdaq:
TDFX - news), today declared Aaron Breceda, 14, winner of the ``Win Voodoo
with Lara Croft''(SM) contest. Today, at 10 a.m., his grand prize, the full
retail Voodoo5 5500 AGP package, will be delivered to his doorstep by Eidos'
Tomb Raider® cyber-vixen, Lara Croft, in the flesh. Aaron is the first
customer in the world to receive this hot, new, high-end 3D graphics product
featuring full-scene hardware anti-aliasing in such unparalleled fashion.
The thrill of Aaron's enviable victory will be web cast live exclusively by
DailyRadar and carried only on www.dailyradar.com, www.3dfx.com and
www.3dfxgamers.com.

``Lara Croft in the flesh was a major reason for entering the contest, but
let's face it: I wanted a Voodoo5 card,'' said Aaron, a junior high school
student. ``What I really want is the Voodoo5 6000 AGP, but this is cool
either way because I don't have to buy new software. I can run all the games
I have right now. And, yeah, Lara Croft is hot. I can't wait to see her
too.''

``This unique contest has attracted a high level of interest about our next
generation of products,'' said Scott Taylor, director of corporate marketing
for 3dfx. ``Aaron and over 100,000 others were not only clamoring for Lara
Croft, but the awesome power of our new Voodoo5 product. I think Aaron's the
luckiest guy on earth -- Voodoo5 will let him be one of the first to play
Tomb Raider with our true, full-scene hardware anti-aliasing technology.
Lara Croft at his front door will give him bragging rights for years to
come.

Aaron will also receive the entire Tomb Raider game series: Tomb Raider I,
II and III; I, II and III Gold Series; and The Last Revelation.

The five second place winners receive the Tomb Raider game series. Over
100,000 US and Canada residents entered the contest either through the 3dfx
website or any of a variety of leading retailer's sites including Babbages,
Buy.com, CompUSA, DailyRadar.com, Egghead, and Value America.

The new Lara Croft is 17-year-old Lucy Clarkson. For more information about
