As far as I can remember, the Velocity 200 was sold in shops within the UK!

I remember a few years ago, just after the V4/V5 series were launched, I went into the GAME store, in a shopping Mall near where I live called Meadowhall.  As soon as you walked into the store, the V3/4/5 series were right in your face, and higher up on the shelves were the Velocities.  I remember picking up the Velocity 100 and I'm pretty sure I picked up the 200 as well.
I remember because I remember thinking "What the hell are these?  I've never heard of these 3dfx cards before".

The Velocity 200 box was copper/brownish in colour.  But EXACTLY laid out like the velocity 100 box.  I remember reading the back of the boxes, and when I realised they weren't mainstream cards for games, I soon put them down and browsed around the rest of the shop.

Back then, I wasn't the big 3dfx fan I am now, although I was still interested in the Voodoo series nevertheless!

Unfortunately not.    Like I said, I put it back.  I never bought one.

At the time, when they first hit the shops, I wasn't looking for a new card upgrade as I was still satisfied with my Creative 12Mb V2 SLI setup (which was getting on around 2 years old at the time).  I remember going in that day and spending about half an hour reading the back of every Voodoo3/4/5 and Velocity box! 
I remember the Voodoo5 being about £279.99 GBP, and one of the Velocities was around £160.00, although I can't honestly remember which, the 100 or the 200. Sorry. 

But back then, because the Velocities weren't the top of the range cards, nobody took any interest in them.  They  already had plenty to choose from with the Voodoo series and nVIDIA's GeForce2 family hitting the shops!

If I can remember correctly, the 200 may have been a 16Mb card, but cannot be 100% sure!

Just imagine the 100 box, but where there's blue, there's a .
Hope that helps. 

Someone been busy in photoshop?

The thing I fins strange is that there are no real photos of the card anywhere!  I cannot believe this.  Surely, there must be some, somewhere.
