HUZZAH!
I can't wait to snag that, because ... I never played it before :| Yet I've played just about every other Apogee title. I hope Blake Stone is next to be put on there. I also hope that my thumbs wont cover up the whole screen like with some of the igames

You could just get it here on GOG.

Oh thats right...

Wow.

I'm afraid I'll never understand the appeal of playing games like that on a touch screen that small where your fingers block half the screen. Is it just a case of people wanting to make themselves enjoy it to justify paying that much, or am I genuinely missing something? For adventure games using a stylus, I can well see the appeal but games such as Wolfenstein 3D and this just seem terribly fiddly to play.

Doom works, and so does Wolfenstein 3D.

But how? Is there a virtual gamepad overlay on the touchscreen? That must be extremely awkward.

Doom can be played on a steering wheel as well. The question is rather: is the fiddling worth it? Your fingers take over the lower left and right of the screen for starters - I just don't see how it could even be half as accurate and effective as a keyboard, especially when fast action is needed. I've seen quite a few Youtube vids and they make me wonder why on earth they would put up with such poor controls.
