I'm thinking about getting a new desktop, but I'm worried that I won't be able to load Quake 2 onto it because the game is now so old.

Will the latest desktops still accept & load Quake 2?

Any advice appreciated

Yes.

Thanks Sigma. But are you sure?

I don't want to spend $800 - $1000 on a new computer only to find it won't load Q2.

As a fellow Quake 2 player I'm sure you can understand my anxiety around this issue.

I'm just worried that the game may be too old for a new computer to recognise or accept.

Thanks.

I was able to drag the whole folder containing the already installed game and years of maps models and addons from my old computer's harddrive into my new one's c: drive and run it without problems despite the old running XP and the new one Vista. Did the same to my ancient version of Photoshop when it refused to install normally.

Why do I have this feeling that this thread would become another trolling attempt..

If he replies with anything other than a, "thanks for the prompt direct reply. I'll lock the topic now." Should earn him a short bus.

No it's not another 'trolling attempt'. None of my posts ever were.

Thanks for the advice. If my new computer doesn't run Q2 I'll send you guys the bill
