L505 ('http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=869') (aka Z505 of Z505 Software ('http://www.z505.com/')) has started a Quake 2 source translation project to make a FreePascal version of the engine's source. The project is called Quake 2 FreePascal! L505 is the same person that started the [b:PGDN]Doom Total Conversion[/b:PGDN] project some time earlier this year.
This is nice to see, as the Quake 2 engine was a nice step up in 3D real-time game engine technology. At it's time one of the best since the original Quake engine shocked id Software fans with it's bliztering speed, when 3D was thought to be too consuming on your system without all the heavy-duty hardware.
