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."

    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)

      Cruising down the highway at 65Mph. You kill the guy in the beat up shitty truck 3 lanes over and a few feet back.
      He finally snaps, hangs up his phone, and procedes to side swipe you while yelling, "YOU FUCKING HACKER" out his window...

    I'm reminded of that Sprint commercial where the guy is like:

    You were bored so you decided to do some kung fu.

    I'm can now imagine some guy running around with a gun shooting people, then the sprint guy comes up and goes:

    You were bored, so you decided to play a little doom.

    I bet that'll be a BIG hit in Columbine. </sarcasm>

  5. 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.

    I've seen it. I've played it. It's awesome.
    I was talking at a Nokia Developer Day (about Java in mobile phones), and was talking to another developer about choosing the appropriate games and applications to write to put on the phones.
    I actually said, "It's not like you'll want to play Quake on a phone", and they showed me the Doom port.
    It's pretty sweet, but using the little joystick thingy didn't make for a greatly easy gaming experience.
