  1. Ahh... No multiplayer? by Hays · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This seems like the a great port for multiplayer reasons, but that's not mentioned anywhere on the page.

    I guess modem play wouldn't work? Hmm... Well there has to be some way to port the multiplayer. Whether people would want to burn up their minutes to kill their friends on their phones is another story (I would)

  2. Snake and memory.. by Malduin · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I was content with snake and memory on my phone. Now it's just not going to be the same knowing that a classic FPS can be played on a cell phone!

    Heh, enable bluetooth or something similar and play multiplayer with the guy sitting next to you in the airport or something.

    I still wish I had a port of the Gameboy version of Tetris on my phone music and all.

    Id Software also released the source to Doom';s 1&2, Quakes 1&2, and i believe Wolfenstien. This is why i want to go ahead and pay full price for Id Software. You can almost call their business a sucessful open source model.

      Ok here is how i say that. They make money. The source is open (eventually). They make a whole lot more money than open source companies do and personally i wouldn't mind if every company did what they are doing.
