Doom Classic Graces the iPhone
I am of the strict school of thought that a platform has not truly arrived until someone has a working port of Doom running on it, this goes for all things electronic from iPods to toasters. One gadget that has sadly been off that list up until recently is the Apple iPhone which is quickly becoming quite the gaming platform nowadays.
John Carmack of id software himself, has announced they are porting Doom or Doom classic as they are calling it to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Knowing id, this is not just just going to be a bare bones port release we are getting some real features with this game. With remasterd sound effects, an online multi-player via wifi with bluetooth support for multi-player coming soon this sounds like the next must have app for your iPhone. One thing they are not updating in this release is the graphics, apparently the updated graphics for their Wolfenstein 3D port “ruined the old-school look and feel”. It’s nearing the end of its run in testing and they are looking for a June release, and I honestly can’t wait to deathmatch against the wife while we’re in the doctor’s office. Check out the much more detailed blog post by id here.

When I read a sites, I really hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I’m talking about, I know it was my choice to read, but I essentially reckoned you may have some thing useful to say. All I see is actually a bunch of whining about something that you could resolve in case you werent too busy looking for attention.
