Eugene Esterly III let us know about a missing news item from last month and as there are hardly any Playstation 2 productions, we report about it now 🙂 (Better late than never). Here is what Eugene says:

Quake has been ported to the PS2. As for the latest binary release, it specs full speed graphics but no sound yet and for the moment only supports booting from host and usb mouse and keyboard support (no joypad).
