Quake II hits S60 phones

All egoshooter fans with a S60V3 FP1 device(nope, my N71 is out of the game) will rejoice - they can now enjoy the virtues of Quake and Quake II on the go.

People owning devices with an ARMv6 CPU and at least 28MB of free storage RAM can download the game; it comes in a hardware-rendered and a software-rendered version. N95-users are advised to stay clear from the hardware-rendering version as it needs too much memory..

Last but not least, here are two screenshots that the developer made on an N95 8GB - they show the software and hardware-accelerated versions next to one another(the developer did not state which is which):
