edit:
Have you opened the multiverse repository?

top open closed repos edit this file
/etc/apt/sources.list (you can do this with the sudo gedit command)

then typ sudo apt-get update in terminal

-------------------
apt-cache show quake2:

Description: improved version of id Software's Quake II engine
Quake II is a 3D action game engine in first-person perspective, commonly
known as a ``first person shooter''.

This package contains no data files. You will need to either install the
commercial data from the Quake II CD-ROM with the ``quake2-data'' package,
or install some free data files.
.
This game currently supports software rendering with X11, SDL, or SVGAlib,
or hardware accelerated rendering with OpenGL (directly or via SDL).
.
NOTE: The network part of Quake II has several unfixed security problems.
It should not be used in untrusted networks.
