Quake Ported to the Palm Pre

,----[ Quote ]
| The Pre is a bit short on milestones these 
| days, so I suppose it's worth noting that a 
| crafty developer has successfully managed to 
| port ID's classic Quake to Palms flagship 
| phone. The frame rate looks a bit low, and it 
| crashes at the end of the demo, but the 
| developer assures us they have cleared all 
| these issues up since the last video was 
| shot.

webOS DOOM Paving Way For Future SDL Ports

,----[ Quote ]
| Since its initial release less than two days
| ago, development has proceeded apace on the
| webOS port of classic FPS DOOM. The latest
| news, however, has implications beyond just
| this particular port itself. For starters, the
| game no longer requires any fooling around in
| the Terminal to get it started: you can now
| load it from an icon in your launcher, just
| like any other app. You can also fire up
| multiple instances of the game in multiple
| cards - possibly useless in of itself, but
| it's great for that geek cool factor.
