I was miffed that my Big Box copy of Quake 3 Arena for Linux (which was a metal cookie box, basically) was basically developing rust or some kind of corrosion, but this was offset by how hilariously quaint the System Requirements read in 2026
@mr_daemon those were great! i found two of them in a dollar store once and that was the only way i could afford Q3A as a kid. i never got Linux working but they were 100% compatible with the Mac and Windows binaries if you grabbed those off id's update site
@vyr Hah, I did the same to play it on windows, I had completely forgotten the core memory of getting the point release and fetching the pk3 files from the cd
