Playing Quake 3 on OS-X
April 15, 2016
I was surprised to see how easy it was to get Quake 3 up and running under OS-X 10.10.5. With these simple steps you'll be up and running in no time. I think I see a dedicated server in my near future.
- Download a pre compiled ioquake3.org/get-it (Windows, Linux, Solaris also available)
- Copy
pak0.pk3
from yourbaseq3
folder on your Quake III: Arena CD or Steam installation to your/Applications/ioquake3/baseq3
folder - Start it up and enjoy!
If you don't have a Quake III: Arena CD you can easily find one on eBay, I picked my copy up for $8.
