Gaming on the iPhone - a Real Possibility

Posted by iphonefan

If you haven’t seen this video, it is real, and it is pretty amazing:

This video comes from a developer called HermitWorks.  They have (obviously) already ported Quake 3 to the iPhone, and they are currently working on Space Trader as well as an original title called Quest which will be a casual adventure game.

Now, I know that gaming is exactly what some iPhone users are looking for, while others are sure that they will be a waste of time.  Despite the differences of opinion, it is obvious that the iPhone has some serious power under its scratch-resistant, glass hood.

If games like this are possible, then who knows what serious apps are waiting to be revealed.  Also, keep in mind that this demo is being done on current iPhone hardware.  With the revision waiting right around the corner, I think things are going to be getting very interesting in the iPhone computing world.  There are only about 60 days left until WWDC; the suspense is killing me.
