Frank,
    I have a Monster 3d and have the same problem. the game claims to
support Voodoo cards but I can only get option 1.  I get the same response
as you on Option 2. I have Direct X 6 installed and
when I try Option 3 it says I need something called draw primitive. No help
from  Microprose support. I think everyone has been eaten by Hasbro.
    Hope someone out there can help
    Bunyip
