It rocks, it really does. Very enjoyable gameplay in UAE. I've been playing it for months and through at least 2 revisions of AmiQuake itself.

The most recent are mostly from 2019.

I suppose it's possible the reason for that is that it runs with fewer issues on more configurations than AmiQuake (I). If so, disregard.
