Doom ported to iPod

I didn't think this was real when I first read it, but apparently it is. The iPodLinux group has ported a playable version of Doom to the iPod.

If you're comfortable with that and willing to try it out, we'd love to hear about your experience. Drop us a line in the comments or via our tips form.
