Battlezone2

Johnny
I cannot get Battlezone2 to run under Win2k. It installs goes into the menus but when you go to start the game, it crashes back to windows. It is the already 1. 1 Updated version, and no new patch from Activision.

Quake 3 in SMP mode

*mojo*
System specs: Dual PIII 500's Tyan Tiger 133 256 MB Ram CL Anihilator Pro (DDR) I love win2k. This is O. S. is by far the best that Microshaft has put out in my opinion. The only small problem I have is that Q3 won't load if I turn on SMP in the game.
