"It was a hold over from the Brew and Java development of the game," Hollenshead said. "Wolfenstein has been fighting censorship since 1992 when Nintendo made us change the blood to green and the dogs to rats.

"Some day people may realize this is a game and it's supposed to be fun and we're making fun of these things, not endorsing them."

id decided to take out references to Nazis because of concerns raised by cell phone carriers for the earlier version of the game. When it came time to move the title over to the iPhone it got a new look, but Hitler remained mustache free.

"We wanted to be consistent with the versions," Hollenshead said.

The issues id faced with mobile phone development will soon be coming to an end, Hollenshead added.

"Doom 2 RPG may be our last Brew and Java game we develop in-house," he said. "We're are shifting our mobile development toward the iPhone."

They're announcing a bunch of stuff at QuakeCon later today.

Carmack is working on finishing Doom Classic, which will include Doom, Final Doom, Ultimate Doom, and Doom II. He is also working on porting Quake 1-3 with multiplayer.

Looks nice. I've been playing bits and pieces of this on my phone recently. It's pretty fun if you enjoyed games like Orcs and Elves.

I didn't know this came out.  Doom RPG was great.

Never played the original, but unlike Orcs and Elves the movement on the iPhone Wolf RPG is more like regular Wolf3D than Orcs and Elves (where you could only move one square at a time and have to keep tapping the directional).

Holy crap @ some of these easter eggs, the id guys are definitely smoking something (and it's awesome)
