Default Bringing More Violence To PPC Gaming - Quake Mobile

http://www.pulsemobilegames.com/QuakeMobile.html

"Quake, one of the world's most famous PC videogames, is back and now you can run and gun on the go. Quake Mobile takes all of the action, levels, weapons, and bad guys from the original PC title and transforms it all into the fastest, smoothest and most intense game ever to reach the Pocket PC. It's even 3D accelerated, meaning you get the best possible graphics that kill any other Pocket PC title on the market, PERIOD!"



Ah, it's happened to us all. We've been quietly working away with our PPC, checking email, browsing the web, and then the thought hits us: "I should be killing some virtual thing right now!". Well, now we can finally scratch the itch with Quake Mobile. The screenshots look gory enough, the manufacturer offers original levels with enough single player action to keep anyone amused, and a promise of future abilities to multi-player over WiFi or Bluetooth. If you're ready to start the death and distruction now, you can purchase the game for $24.99 at Handango.

You know, I'm thinking of getting the Dell, simply because of all the games and graphics stuff that ONLY seem to run on it. I wonder why it seems that NO other PPC is in the same league??

Hello HTC!

I am beginning to wonder if I am psychotic or something. Seems like I am in some tiny minority who has absolutely no interest in hunting down killing coloured pixels ...

Ahh I remember the old days of taking the source release for an old game and porting it to a Pocket PC for FREE! Doom, and even other ports of quake. I just hope that some of that $25 is going to the original creator of Quake, cause Im sure there are restrictions on selling his code.

Should have done it for free or not at all. Its all about grabbing as much cash as you can these days and not about the love of the platform.

I occasionally play a bit of Pocket Quake on my X50v.

Do I really need to shell out for a commercial re-release?

Sure, 3D acceleration is sweet, but i'm not even gonna consider it without a demo :/

Dan East's port ran fine on my iPAQ 3835. I'd never tried the game on a PC, so it was quite entertaining (terrifying too, at moments). Can't see myself doing it again though. Once through shareware Doom on my Casio EG-800 was enough Doom. Same for once through Quake.
