About the game

Dating from 1997, Quake II for Mac, Win, Zeebo is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the leap into 3D.

By 1997 the landscape around releases like this was set — polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. Reading Quake II against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.
