Doom Ported to Nokia phone

Posted by chrisd on from the waiting-for-wolf-3d dept.

HellKrisp writes "UK based game developers WildPalm have released a port of id software's Doom for the Nokia 7650. Features of the port include audio support and bilinear filtering. The download weighs in at around 1.5MB as it is just the shareware version featuring only the first episode. The port was made using the source code publicly released by id software in 1997."

    When I got a Nokia 9290 last year, it had already DOOM installed on it.

    Doom was actually earlier ported to a Nokia phone, namely the Communicator 9210. There was also a C64 Emulator available to Communicator, which might be a lot cooler and have an endless amount of classic games.

    Unfortunately I had an earlier 9110 model of Communicator, but it had a cool emulator for old Infocom text adventure games as well as Space Invaders.

    Nokia is launching a new phone with the same operating system as the 7650, but shaped like a portable gaming console.

    I'm not really impressed by any phone these days (wasn't we supposed to replace them all with 3G any day now?) but once in a while Nokia strikes the jackpot. Check out the 6800 phone with revolutionary keyboard-thingie. If it does run with the Symbian OS, I think it really could bring your PDA needs to your pocket.

    This phone should make controlling easier:

  5. Nokia Doom - The Catches by Joel+Rowbottom · · Score: 4, Informative
    I've got a 7650 and thought I'd try out this version of Doom on it.

    Well, it's not too bad - certainly playable, although I couldn't get the sound to work. The catch is that it requires so much damn memory to run that you have to shut down *every* application on the phone, and free up as much memory as possible. So while it's installed, you can't even add addresses.

    Not worth it for me, but it's a nice gimmick. Shows what these devices are capable of if they had at least a little bit more memory in - 4MB isn't enough, are you listening Nokia? ;)

    It's called ttyquake or Textmode-Quake, depending on who you ask. Anyway, it's located here, and is sick, sick, sick. Quite cool.

    QNX did this too for their OS. They offer a guide to porting doom for embedded systems. I'm not sure what OS they are using on this phone but here is the info from www.qnx.com

    they have the other 5 steps; just search for doom!
