The NVidia driver is not open, and most likely never will be; it will
not be imported before it's open.

 I use yours creation from release 3.0, and it completely arranges me 
 and on work and houses, however I should hold on a hard disk of OS Windows to 
 play games sometimes, actually in this connection has been asked a question 
 above, simply it would be desirable, that my computer completely  operated My

Most games wouldn't work on OpenBSD, anyway. Try some sort of emulator,
if you really want to, or just keep a spare box (partition) handy.

Or VMWare! The OBSD image runs quite excellently (I use it on my laptop,
actually), .. now that VMWare has made the sever free (though registration
is required), it's a pretty decent solution.

The option is to use the free/non registered VMWare Player, bu then you
are more limited on host OS.

You can use an exisintg VMWare player image to create a new image with a
different O/S.  We just built a new 3.9 image last week starting off with
the 3.8 image.

Sorry, .. didn't mean to get you excited. There was an OBSD *image* posted
last winter - it works fine on Server  * Player.
