GFXBASENote:We couldn't test the version (we don't have Quake2 data files) and we also could not find any information or direct download-link regarding the Quake2 Amiga port at the
website of Frank Menzel except a
news entry in which he mentions the development of his Quake2 port (this entry is from 25.05.05). So try at your own risk (download link below).
Installation:
There's an installation note included in the archive, which is in german, so here's a translation:
QUAKE2 Port v0.5 (W3D PPC)
Please copy quake2 file in the directory baseq2 and create a baseq2: assign
via Shell by typing:

PS: If the screen goes grey, please set the gl_mode in config.cfg to zero( set gl_mode "0")
If you use FastFileSystem set the buffer to 1500.
