Amiga Quake II problems

That's exactly the setup I've used successfully to run the game, if it's any help.  My system is a CyberstormPPC @200MHz/60MHz 68060, 18Gb UltraSCSI Seagate Cheetah drive on the Cyberstorm SCSI controller, 2x NEC external CDROM on A3000 SCSI native controller (internal cable passively terminated), 16MB 70ns zips on m/b, 128MB 60ns SIMMs on Cyberstorm, OS3.9, WarpUP5.1, Warp3D4.2, CybervisionPPC, CybergraphX4.

Thanks for the feedback.  What kind of framerates are you
getting?

I estimate it runs only about 25-30 fps in 320x240 mode.  It is playable but slows down some when there are a lot o' enemies, etc.  I think it'd run a lot faster with a Voodoo3 card instead of the Permedia chip on the CybervisionPPC.  GLQuake runs *very* fast on my setup however, even in 640x480 mode.

bah, on my system using warp3d the game sux... you cannot play q2 with that framerate... just run it for the "experience" but don't expect to enjoy it... there is no joy in running quake on 20-25 fps...

I agree, it's no great shakes. Maybe it's better on a Voodoo card though.  I think the 3D aspect of the game is a bit much for the older Permedia chip on my graphics card.
