The devices are now more than powerful enough to run the game, and there are enough memory options to allow for the various map sizes. Navigation is simply forward, back, left or right, and fire, switch weaps. Pretty simple, yet no one has done this yet. What's going on?

I guess it must still be in development. I don't see where to download it anywhere.

I wonder if the game is gonna be free or not. It doesnt' seem so. I'm not sure what kind of open source license Doom is under, but hopefully, if anyone made changes to it, their new code would have to be free as well.

I really loved DoomII and still play it whenever I get a chance, so I'm sure i'll play it a lot on my Zod (plus deity didn't run on my Zodiac right anyway, hehe) Know this probably wasn't useful for anyone without a zodiac, but I know id software open sourced doom so anyone with enough savvy and time on their hands could probably port it to other sufficiently advanced hardware like the clies or the new palmone devices probably. __________________ "percent sign, ampersand, dollar sign" "and colon, semicolon too"
