Q2 questions

[Colonel Sanders]

Suprising when I was looking at the hardware requirements for this game - 90MHz pentium 16MB RAM, I still think it has excellent graphics though!

Anyways, I'm trying to install this antique game on my PC with Win2K/SP3. I thought there was a way to run short-cuts in a 95 or compatiability layer?(I know this "compatiability layer" has ben very useful at times ).

I sorta got the game to run pretty good. I downloaded a patch from ID, installed it(without haveing Q2 installed), ran the patch, and it produced a ~40MB folder which I was able to run Q2 with the CD-ROM in the drive.

Now, 1) I don't think this it is very legal to run the game this way, 2) it abruptly crashed, and 3) I would much prefer to have all the files on my HDD so I don't have to have the CD in the drive.

Besides those "slight difficulties" I would also like to try to extract some of the soundtracks(this game has excellent music ). I don't know about how legal doing so would be, or if I could even use the files.
