Quake II soundtrack is still in some sort of copyright limbo. It's easy enough to find on Youtube, but it's not on streaming services as far as I know.

EDIT: maybe it's getting sorted out, there's even a fricking vinyl release

Quake always had amazing soundtracks. Nine Inch Nails "nailed" it on Quake 1. Quake 3 soundtrack is dope as well, but my all time favorite is the Quake 3 Rocket Arena vibes: https://youtu.be/clkOT6vRKDg

I was a bit annoyed when I bought Quake II on Steam a few months back and found it didn't come with the soundtrack. I just grabbed it from archive.org and dumped the files in the right folder, worked fine.

Presumably this is a general comment, since this release does not (and wasn't intended to) include any of the Quake II models, levels, graphical assets, sound effects, or music. It's purely engine source code.

It's not engine source code, just gameplay code.

It was so good that I would sometimes put the game disc in a CD player just to vibe.

Unfortunately that CD cracked, so I no longer have access to the music nor the game.

I think Sonic Mayhem did QII. NIN did Quake I (or maybe just Trent). I remember the ammo boxes for the nailgun had the NIN logo.

If you buy Quake 2 on GOG, the CD images are part of it.
