I play it regularly on my K6/233 with a Voodoo (Diamond Monster 3D).

Quake 2 is a sequel only in name, same as Quake 3 will be, I'm sure.
It really has very damn little in common with original Quake, but of
course that only means that original Quake (or at least QuakeWorld) is
still very much worth keeping around.

BTW, everything I've read suggests that Id wanted to ditch the demonic
motif of Doom/Quake to get a bit broader audience.  I thought they
pulled it off pretty well.  (At least in Doom it made sense.  I
thought it was rather forced in Quake.)
