Any developers out there looking for a good game to port to PPC/HPC (and Jornada 720, pretty please!), look no further than Origin/LookingGlass Software's original System Shock. I'm not certain of the status of the license but I believe it's abandonware. Not being a programmer of course I'm wholly ignorant of how difficult a project it would be, but I know the game was developed in 1994 and the 3D engine is much less sophisticated than Quake's. SShock has a small but dedicated core of rabid fans, not a few of whom own PPC's I bet.<br><br>[note: the extra space on a Jornada screen would be perfect for adapting the somewhat clunky original GUI--hint! hint!
