| The
new 3D games could be available in a few months. |
|
|
A
Hampshire company has developed groundbreaking software to allow mobile
phones to play games that have previous only been available on computers
in arcades. |
|

|
|
Up until now mobile phone games like Snake and Tetris have been fairly
unsophisticated because the chip in a mobile phone is about 1,000
times less powerful that an average home computer.
 |
| Friends
will be able to play the games together. |
Superscape has developed a 3D software which allows mobile phone users
to play decent interactive rally racing, Sumo wrestling and shoot-em-up
games which you can play against your friends.
The software is suitable to run on to run currently available mobile
phones and for 2.5 and 3G mobile phones, which are likely to be available
in the next few months.
It's estimated that the invention, could be worth up to £20 billion
a year as phone companies charge people to download new games to their
phones. |
