Cross platform gaming

I have a shiny new 9500. My mother has inherited my 7650, and my brother or father may well inherit my 6600 (though I may hold onto it for use when the commie's a tad too bulky). My other brother has a P910, courtesy of his employers at SE.

What I'd like to know is, are there any games we could play across any or all of the handsets? The new C2Doom runs on Ss 60 and 80. I've got it installed on the 9500, but not had a chance to install it on a S60 device and see if you can BT multiplay play across the UI divide. Does anyone know of any other games which can be played wirelessly (ie via BT, IP or even SMS) between these disparate platforms? I would have thought that chess games, for example, should be quite easy to do, and not just by texting each other moves to enter into the app by hand...
