People who loved playing Doom can now do so via their iPhones as Doom: Resurrection has been released by Escalation Studios. Similar to the classic game, the only difference now in game play is perhaps the changed from a first person view to an “On Rails” play format.

Movement is handled for you as you progress through the levels, but it’s your job to take on hell’s minions with an array of wickedly gruesome assault weapons.

The Doom: Resurrection game app is now available at the iTunes Musix Store for $9.99. It also supports the iPhone and iPod Touch with OS 2.2.1 or later.

Another classic game is going to be available for the iPhone soon. Thanks to the efforts of First Star Software and Chillingo, Boulder Dash will be soon playable on iPhones which was first seen via Apple. First Star Software has re-engineered Boulder Dash for the iPhone and iPod Touch to make use of “multi-touch; ‘pinch’ zoom; the ability to switch between portrait and landscape modes on the fly”.

The major hurdle for this game to make it to the iPhone is one of controls. Past iPhone Boulder Dash clones have failed to successfully make this transition. In the original version, quick joystick control was required to navigate some of the more complicated mazes. First Star Software has chosen to go with a variety of control options to accommodate different players.

There are two virtual pad controls and one swipe control. Virtual control pads offer the up/down/left/right buttons in a standard plus-sign configuration (screenshot) or divided (screenshot) into separate up/down or left/right controls. Meanwhile, the swipe controls allow you to swipe anywhere in the direction you want to go. Swiping and holding allows you to continue moving in that direction.

And while they do seem primitive compared to the new array of games that are available today, it is certain to be a game that any generation would love to have on their iPhone as far as recommendable software is concerned.

Ever since its 1978 release to worldwide acclaim, pioneering video game SPACE INVADERS has been enjoyed by millions and played on a wide variety of platforms including arcade game machines, home and handheld consoles and mobile phones.
