quake 2 on amiga is complete , been for over 14 months now..

port was made by hyperion.

and they have an official quake 2 amiga site for it.

Its an Commercial game so u will have to BUY it from hyperion/shops to use it, its mainly PPC only but an 060(?) version has also been made by hyperion which u can download for free once u regged quake 2 purchase on the hyperion site.

i play it from time to time and we have tried to host a server (AMIGA Q2 server) and works well but sadly we dont have good provider with good speeds, so until then ..well i have to play it on official q2 servers or just play it in 1 player or whatever...

exellent port and the fastest Hyperion game to date (small requirements and huge options lists to remove*/add effects etc to make it faster)

cheers

kronos:about GPL , the gui aint gpl and its not a free game , he can compile his own version from sources though..  oh well this has been discussed to death allready...


anyway about 68k version , when we hosted server we had a guy playing on his a1260 with mediator and v3 , sure it wasnt as fast as ppc but it was PLAYABLE! , his name/nick is alkemyst ... (060/80mhz) , so stop beeing so PRO amithlon all the time :)

anyway i find the ppc version slow at times also , but thats because of my slow ppc (240mhz) and so on, but i get 22-24 fps so i am happy enough for now until a1micro and os4 is out ;)
