FWIW: Just got the new "Quake 2 Mission Pack: The Reckoning." It actually has the 3Dfx logo on the box. There are no other hardware logos on the product. Inside is a single sheet flyer extolling the virtues of Voodoo technology and how it makes Quake 2 look wonderful.

BTW, the Mission Pack itself is extremely Quake 2 like. The plot is that you are a different Space Marine in the same "drop from orbit" that the original Q2 Marine was in. You just land in a different part of the Strogg complex. So far I'd call the game play and level design that I've seen "uninspired" - by which I mean that it's look and feel is identical to Q2's levels. While this may be deliberate (given it is just a different part of the same base), so far it's kinda boring. Hopefully it will get better in the later levels.
