> What game is this?

It's Quake Mission Pack 1 "Scourge of Armagon", the same game that I tested successfully on a newer system.

But I don't think the actual game really matters - it's probably more important whether the optical drive can read the CD without retrys/errors. On that P3 machine there's just an old Sony CRX220A attached, which apparently has problems with that quake cd.

It's strange, because that Quake CD is in very good shape (virtually unused ) and OTOH the drive has no problems at all with 40 year old audio CDs...
