Staff Commentary

Usually we don't comment on game pages, but this one is a riot. First of all, there are two versions of this addon that have been released commercially. Juggernaut for Quake II Deluxe Edition and Juggernaut for Quake II. Contrary to common sense, the Deluxe Edition is NOT the full version of the game.

You can tell which version you have by either spotting the absence of any 'Deluxe Edition' branding, but also by the ad-blurb on the back of the packaging. If it notes that you get 26 levels instead of 13 levels then congratulations, you own the full version. You can also spot that one by its UPC code which should be 737514211638. The incomplete 'Deluxe Edition' has the UPC code 737514211645.

This game also caused id software's Paul Steed to rant on his .plan file. We are in the process of tracking that text down. Update: We have found the follow-up post, which does not have anything nicer to say.
