I assembled a vintage PC setup from the early 2000s and am attempting to gather a few games from that era. I'm running XP 64 bit, so I won't be using the internet.
I'm considering purchasing a used Quake 4 copy to add to my collection, but before buying, I wanted to confirm it wouldn't need an online check or any other trick to play. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Quake 4 doesn't need any internet verification. I might think about using a 32bit version of WinXP for an old-style system. This would help because drivers are more reliable and many classic games came with 16-bit installers that won't work on a 64-bit OS. Regarding activation, WinXP stops working after 30 days.

Thank you for the clarification. And thank you for the useful information in your link. However, I lack a license for the 32-bit version of Windows unless the license covers both. That seems unlikely. It's hard to recall exactly how that used to work.

Great question! I'm looking for the best answer option that was previously on the right side of this conversation box.
