Up until now, games on cellular phones have resembled the first Atari 2600 VCS games. But Imagination Technologies has ported Quake 3 Arena for deployment on cell phones, and is showing it off at the Korean Games Conference. Quake 3 Arena was released to the public under GPL licensing and the company has ported the game to Windows CE devices such as the Dell Axim x50/x51 and Windows Mobile phones.

Imagination says that the game achieves 25 frames per second on a Dell Axim x50v, but other devices will probably be slower. The Axim is an actual PDA with a decent processor, the 624 MHz Intel XScale PXA270, which is more powerful than CPUs found in the typical Windows Mobile phone.
