Are you kidding me!? These guys will have Crysis 3 running on a calculator in 10yrs time haha.
Call me a perfectionist but I prefer the original version. However it is quiet an accomplishment, so bravo Pekka !
Wow that is really very impressive.
Impressive!
Ultimately completely useless but impressive none-the-less :)

Why not!!
Anybody spotted games on kit that shouldn't be there? I work on laboratory analysis kit, Agilent famously had Tetris built in to the handheld controller on the 1100 GCs.
Very Matrix-esque!
While it may not be particularly useful of itself. By working under such extreme constraints, it forces you to consider new solutions which can then be applied in a more practical situation.
Same reason I installed linux and then doom on an iPod 4g (thats the white monochrome wheel iPod for younger readers ;) ). Utterly pointless but also utterly awesome!Quote:

Time to dig out the old beastie I think :D
Is there anything left that quake hasn't been modded onto?
To be pedantic: Quake is running on a PC. It's being displayed on a 'scope, but the 'scope is just doing what a 'scope does and plotting two XY input signals.
You could take the same XY signals and feed them to some galvanometers to make a laser-projected Quake. Or you could take a VGA output, connect the sync line to a basic waveform generator, and connect to a 'scope (turning the scope into a low-res monochrome monitor).
But it'll still be Quake running on a PC.
If you want something actually running on the oscilloscope itself, have Doom.
Absolute genius!
