Trivia
The UK Windows Version Quake II CD has the following printed on it:
"This product is intended for sale outside North America only and will not function on North American operating systems."
Upon testing this seems to be a lie, it works on every North American version of Windows I've tried it on.
I assume this was to prevent people importing the CDs from the EU and selling them in the US.
