One of my favorite first person shooters was the Mac game Marathon from now Microsoft publisher Bungie. I won a level designing contest Bungie held with my 3 level map "Megiddo", and I later participated in a popular Total Conversion for the game "Tempus Irae" and follow up levels "The Lost Levels" ( http://nardo.bungie.org/alephone.php ).
Bungie released the source code to Marathon Infinity some time ago, and the game has been re-worked into a cross platform SDL open source project called Aleph One. ( http://source.bungie.org/ ). One of the neat things about Marathon is that Bungie also released the game data files for free too. ( http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org/ ).
Graphically Marathon is about on a par with DOOM, so techically the Wiz should be able to run it with no difficulties. There was also an earlier attempt at porting Aleph One to the GP2X, and it largely worked except that it had no key for "swimming" so it was not possible to play the game completely with it, and the port author abandoned the project after releasing the one and only version he did.
Pretty Pretty Pretty please, can someone port Marathon to the Wiz? All of the ingredients are there - its a game the Wiz can technically run with ease, source code and data sources are available. You'll be my hero for life if you can pull it off.
