Quake III on the iPod touch

No, it’s not ready for download, but here’s a sneak peek at the future of gaming on Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone and iPod touch, via HermitWorks Entertainment, a casual game developer based in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

It’s a port of Quake III Arena, modified for the new platform. Note the use of the accelerometers to control movement through the arena and the touchscreen to fire weapons. Note also that with two iPod touches, you can blow yourself to smithereens.

Thanks to 9to5 Mac for the tip.

We’re not the only ones who believe them to be ‘game changers’. The stock has climbed from 120 to 154 since release of the sdk. And it will climb more by June and beyond.

About This Author

Silicon Valley veterans like to joke that Steve Jobs must be surrounded by a reality distortion field; if you get too close to him, you start to believe what he's saying. Thanks to the success of the iPod, the launch of the iPhone and the renewed interest in the Mac, Apple has made believers out of millions of customers - and made a lot of investors rich. But Philip Elmer-DeWitt believes that an ounce of skepticism never hurts when writing about the company. He should know. He's been covering Apple - and watching Steve Jobs operate - since 1982, first for Time Magazine, then for Business 2.0, and now for Fortune.
