Doom Ported to Nokia phone
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."
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)
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.
