Today I fell in love with my Droid all over again. It is already the best phone I have ever had (for those that don't know me, I work in the wireless industry), but now it's even better. What made today so special is that I just installed a fully functional and working direct PC port of Quake 3. Ye,s the controls may be a bit wonky but for a PC game running at an average 25-35 fps (with sound!!), I would say that that this phone has some horsepower. It gets even better... the Multiplayer aspect of it is fully functional!!! I haven't played around with that yet, but I'm assuming it will only work over WiFi with is too bad cause 3g MP would be PHENOMENAL, especially since I have several friends with Droids.
This is not the first time I've tried messing around with PC games on mobile platforms. Doom is fully downloadable on the Android Marketplace and I was able to get Quake 3 to load the main menu on my old HTC Touch (but that was as far as I got).
Check out a video of the game in action here.

***Although I may be pumped about this, it still doesn't measure up to having Sunset Riders, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, and A Link to the Past OR the 700+ NES games with me at all times... that was my little bragging moment***
Anyone else have a Droid out there?
UPDATE: decided to check if there were any active MP games and to my surprise it found OVER 2000! Granted, I would be pitted against a PC user but its still amazing it works over 3G too!!!! I was able to successfully load into one game but after 5 deaths in 30 secs I gave up.
I'm gonna post on my own because I don't expect anyone else to...
