Nokia N900 Running Warcraft II

Ever since the Nokia N900 was released last October, the modding community has been going nuts with it to see what can be accomplished.  We saw it run a Super Nintendo emulator, kick some cop-pig butt with Duke Nukem 3D, and even rigged to be a Playstation 3 controller.  The latest Nokia N900 mod allows users to play a classic Blizzard title: Warcraft II.

The emulator used to run Warcraft II is called Stratagus, which is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy game engine.  As you’ll see in the video, the game runs very accurate to the original game on the PC.  My only concern is how your eyes will feel staring at the N900′s screen for hours at a time.

If you’re down to do a bit of tweeking, instructions on how to have Warcraft II running on your Nokia N900 can be found at the link below.  Just remember to poke the living daylights out of your units. They sure do say the darnedest things.
