My version in childhood also didn't have the actual OST, only the ambient noises and gun sounds. I much prefer it that way, recently got the remaster and turned the music off. This makes the atmosphere so much more desolate. Also railgunned some dudes who were online lmao, even with 300ms ping I still got it
@@retroshowcase I have an old voodoo 3, 16mb I think...i put it in an old Sony Viao that I haven't used in years...I sorta ruined the computer putting it in, cuz the stock graphics card was wired to the sound card for some reason, and I couldn't figure out how to bypass it, so now the puter has no sound =( Anyhow, you might still be able to find ones on Ebay all these years later, maybe even in the original box...I think theres huge stockpiles of unsold ones because tech was advancing fast and they soon got outdated, that and serious compatibility issues...most pc gamers would opt for a Geforce 2.
I will see what I can do --- I've got a P133mz PC coming soon that may be more suitable for that! Discord is the best way to push me dsc.gg/retrogodx ... cheers!
People say "memories" and "nostalgia" but i still regularly join Quake 2 deathmatch servers and it's still one of the best online experiences.
same, even better with the remaster
Still an awesome game to play! I actually played a bit on this rig online haha worked like a charm!
Same! Q1,Q2,Q3 are all a blast. Though Q2 was very, very special to me.
Me too! I only play quake mods nowadays and no other games
We used to play Quake 2 death match in college in our engineering lab. This brings back memories. Quad Damage!
Funny how many people played this AT school! Me too!
I remember playing this with a analog mouse having to pull out the rubber ball everyday and clean the gunk of the track wheels. good memories.
Cleaning them is part of the fun lol!
every day? how dirty was your desk...
@lmaololovsky old mouse pad florida heat bad ac and sweaty wrists.

I'll keep looking! Thanks
Came here from reddit! Now I want to get my hands on quake 2 lol. I used to have the original cd for it but I'm gonna see if I can get it on gog
I think it's on steam too! Find me on Discord if you need some help! Dsc.gg/retroandpim thanks for commenting
Good old days 😀
Good current days too!
Sounds better without the music. Not that the music is bad, but this is how I remember playing it.
I played it growing up without the music too! For a long while I didn't even realize it had music :)
I played quake 2 first on win 2000. It was great
I'm all outta gum! DUKE!!!
very cool
Cheers! Thanks so much!
Next time please figure out the candle situation *before* you start recording 😆 Great vid!
Im going to move it even more times next vid... thanks for watching!
@@retroshowcase haha and give it a good squeeze for me
i'm drooling
I've got an awesome Monkey Island video incoming! Get a napkin!
Very nice. Some requests, if I may:
Descent 1, 2 or 3
Doom 1 or 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Mechwarrior 3
Quake 1
Tomb Raider 1
Heck, and Mech Warrior 2 for that matter...there were some aspects of it that were better than MW 3.
I will see what I can do --- I've got a P133mz PC coming soon that may be more suitable for that! Discord is the best way to push me dsc.gg/retrogodx ... cheers!
There will 100% be a MW2 video coming soon :)
why cant i have fun like this
You can it's easy! Start simple :)
...on a Sony Trinitron monitor.
YES! I have a few others to show soon too :) So nice!
