A bit like DOOM<\/a>, id Software’s first-person shooter Quake<\/a> has been ported officially (and unofficially<\/em>) to just about every platform under the sun that’s capable of running 3D natively. Did you know though there was also a version in development for Nintendo’s 32-bit handheld the Game Boy Advance?<\/p>\n

In 2002, Randy Linden<\/a> – a veteran programmer known for the “impossible” SNES port of DOOM and the creator of the BLEEM emulator – was working on a Quake prototype for GBA. The video game archivists at Forest of Illusion<\/a> have now been supplied with a working ROM of Linden’s prototype:<\/p>\n

“This unreleased prototype we present to you today was recently discovered on a 256M Flash Card in Linden\u2019s storage, and is certainly a far cry from anything else developed for the handheld.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
