+Note that this requires that you have a 100% full OpenGL compliant
+3-D video card and driver. Quake III Arena uses the OpenGL API for
+3-D hardware acceleration. There is no software-only version of
+the game. If your computer is not hardware accelerated with a game
+compatible graphics card, you will NOT be able to run the Q3A demo.
+Currently, only drivers for 3dfx based cards are included in the
+demo install. For updates on GL drivers, in particular for the
+Matrox G200/G400, see http://www.lokigames.com/support/gldrivers/.
