Why does everyone always want to play Quake 2 on an Amiga?  I've seen that game, specifically, listed on more threads than I can count.  Yes, it can do it, but it will be a poor experience compared to playing it under emulation (or the native PC version, for that matter), and you'll have to shell out a lot of $$$ for a fast enough processor card.  IMHO Amiga does many, many things well, including games.  But Quake 2 is not one of them.  :laughing:

I'd recommend downloading Amikit and seeing where it goes from there.

Amikit makes your Amiga feel too "un-Amiga like".  I would never use it.  Just IMHO, plenty of other folks seem to like it.  ;)

ROFL!  I wish I could like this video two or three times. :lol:

Here it is on my A2000, it's playable at full-screen and smoother if I make it a bit smaller, but this is with I don't even want to think about how many $$$$'s of dollars worth of hardware expansion.  The things we do for our hobbies.  ;)
