What is Quake II?

Ported by Logic Software.

Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses, and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

Larger, mission-based levels: You have a series of complex missions. What you do in one level could affect another. One false move, and you could alert security, flood an entire passageway, or worse.
In-your-face sound and graphics: Hear distant combat explosions and rockets whizzing past your head. And with a compatible 3D graphics accelerator, experience smoother 16-bit graphics and real-time lighting effects.
Superior artificial intelligence: This time the enemies have IQs the size of their appetites. They can evade your attack, strategically position themselves for an ambush, and hunt your ass down.
Wicked multiplayer capabilities: More than 32 players, friends or foes, can go at it in a bloody deathmatch via LAN and over the internet.

Quake II utilizes Redbook audio. It is recommended that you burn a CD from the MDx image (requires Windows) and have it inserted in your Mac while playing to get the full audio experience.

OS X 9.2.2, G4 800 MHz, ATi Radeon 7500 compatibility report

Quake II runs very well. Only issues noticed is a little bit of audio latency and a red tint effect on textures (although the latter is likely OS-related).

OS X Tiger, G4 1.5 GHz, ATi Radeon Mobility 9700 compatibility report

Quake II runs, but has major issues.

Software rendering causes a low, constantly stuttering framerate.

OpenGL rendering causes intermittent artifacting and 50-100ms of sound latency.
