Can I play Quake III Arena on PC?
Yes. Quake III Arena source release and FnQ3 run natively on PC, using data from your own copy of the original game.
Is there a Quake III Arena decompilation?
Not one Recomp tracks yet. The projects here are ports and rewrites.
Is it legal?
These projects publish code only. Where a build needs game data, you supply it from a copy of Quake III Arena you own; Recomp never links to game files.
