Quake 2 for AmigaOS 3 - Download Version

Quake 2 is without doubt one of the most famous 3D shooters. Quake 2 was released on the PC by id Software in 1997. In 2002, Hyperion Entertainment released a version for AmigaOS 3.x, based on the GPL source code of the game. In addition to the AmigaOS 4 version, Steffen Häuser has now also realised a new port for AmigaOS 3 (68k) with numerous features that did not previously exist for any Quake 2 port for 68k.

This game, based on the GPL source code, also requires the data files of the PC version, either as a CD or the data of the Steam or Gog Classic version (for the latter two, simply copy them to a directory on your hard drive and select this directory during installation).

Features

• 68040, 68060 and 68080 compiled version (selectable during installation)
• MiniGL and software renderer
• Full support for mission CDs "The Reckoning" and "Ground Zero"
• Ports to the unofficial mission CD "Zaero" and to about 50 multiplayer mods will be released on Aminet soon, these downloads require the new version of Quake 2, they do not work with other ports
• For Vampire users: The USB gamepad of the Vampire is supported
• For Vampire V4 users: Background music will be played via AIFF (the Ogg Vorbis music files of the Gog/Steam version of Quake2 will be converted to AIFF format during the installation of the 080 version)
• For PiStorm users: background music is played via Ogg Vorbis (requires the Gog or Steam version of Quake 2, which includes the Ogg Vorbis files)

System requirements

• Software: AmigaOS 3.x and the data files from Steam, Gog or CD version.
• Hardware: At least Vampire V2 or PiStorm Pi3 (currently not fast enough on a 68060, but possibly a future update will run fast enough on 100 MHz 060 systems)
• 1 GB free hard disc space
