Quake II on the PlayStation 1 is an incredible port. Here is why.

This one was really an incredible port and although I also had the PC version, I still played a lot of this PSX port on split screen with my little brother at the time.

Indeed it is a great port. The engine is incredibly optimized and very well made.

Lots of hand optimization for occlusion calculations (reminiscent of Crash Bandicoot)

I posted a comment on the video - I made a patch for this game to allow for looking with the right stick and the cheat menu during single player (with some added debug options).
- Patches and other quality of life hacks for retro console games are an underrated often forgotten great part of emulation. Especially when it's something like a patch that brings a game to modern control standards.
  
  Thumbs up my friend
  
  Agreed. Romhacking has a lot of them and I usually check before starting a new game. The ones for earlyer Zelda games (GBC and SNES) are awesome.
This guy needs a new logo. I was not expecting MUG to be Modern Vintage Gamer.
I had this and the mouse back in the day. It was an absolute blast, although I never really played it on PC so I can't compare the two. The mouse also works great on Alien Trilogy and Alien Resurrection.
