Since Quake2 is already GPL'ed for a long time now, I am wondering why nobody has picked it up yet and created an alternative to the commercial version from Hyperion.
We have seen lots of ports for Doom, Quake, Heretic and so on, but why is there nobody interested in doing a WOS-port for Quake2? Or am I missing something here?
There is a MorphOS version since several years, and the source code from Hyperion's AmigaOS version is on Aminet for anyone who wants to rebuild it and put the WOS or 68k executable online. Obviously if you make any changes / improvements to the source then you have to make those available, as it is under GPL.
I don't know why nobody did it yet, but there are very few Amiga developers left now, and those that are left are working on other projects, and Quake 2 was a very old game even 4 years ago when the Amiga version appeared.
