Q2 on Mac
I recently installed and played on a Mac G5 with a 30" display. Here is a screenshot.
notice the
wide
aspect ratio and the
tiny
text
Q2 in Java (thus any Java capable platform)
You can also try the Java version:

Pretty neat since this means you could play at a coffeeshop without bringing a CD, dongle, or having it up on FTP.
You do need a baseq2 directory, though the shareware may work

it means what it means, is it good to use, worse, does it require more cpu usage... so far all i know is it is portable, if my inquiry does not apply to the intentions of this post, ignore it.

I have noticed that Q2 runs very well in Linux.
If I set my Q2 resolution to 1280 x 1024 in Windows it's all choppy, but in Linux at that res, it's very smooth.

Will someone please muzzle and leash that barking dog? it's projections and delusions and now endless babbling are comically pitiable, just treat it like you would Beaver - that's what it deserves.

Quake 2 needs a public square.

If you were attached to reality, you'd realize that.
Quake 2 needs a private bathroom.
