I'll never forget the moment I fired up Quake 2 after getting my first Voodoo1 with its massive 4mb of VRAM and experienced 3d for the first time.

Changed my life man.

the first game i played with 3d acceleration was interstate 76

Nah, just a CD caddy. Before CD-drive manufacturers had settled on a standard for physically mounting discs in the drive, some manufacturers went with a caddy system. Put the CD in the caddy, caddy slides into the drive.

Despite being pointless and unwieldy, I thought they were kind of cool in a retro-futuristic kind of way.

if you were swapping discs a lot this meant that they didn't get all scratched sitting on your desk because you're too lazy to keep putting them back in their cases, as long as you had some extra caddies

The highlight? A 1600x1200 4:3 display. No good for movies, but there's nothing better for writing.
