Not only does Wolf3d run beautifully on the iPhone, the controls (and options for modifying them) actually make the iPhone a viable platform for 2.5 dimensional FPS games.

I'd like to see what he can come up with for Quake (a fully 3D shooter - which adds aiming up and down)




You'd need some kind of giro for the z-axis. Right now the iphone can only tell if it's facing uyp or facing down, but can't tell by what degree. Maybe in later edititons they will make the z-axis giro like the others. Alternatively, you could make a device you can attach to the iphone that tells it its position along the median plane.
