You've Been Railed By... Quake 3 Development For PPC

Sure, the game still runs at like 5 FPS, but at least we know how to make it faster for future builds. Expect continuing development on this port. In the meantime, enjoy the 1.0 release!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/q3.jpg" /><br /><br />It'll be the weekend soon, and if you're in for a long boring one, you may want to relax, sit back, and blow something up. The Noctemware team is busily working away at Quake 3 Arena (Not to be confused with the Quake 1 version we posted on last week) for PPC - why not take a look? Sarge, Uriel, Minx, Orb, and the rest of the gang are waiting.

It's more of a slow, painful slideshow, than it is 3D action.
