Real 3D games

hi,

The N95 has hardware support for 3D games (as seen in the system rush demo), but I cannot find any real 3D games on the internet.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

a related question: would ngage games word?

NGage games won't as they are an older version of the series 60 OS. I have found a game called Oval Racer which is a nascar type game. Very hard to get to grips with but quite good. Still doesn't look a patch on SRE but much more like a real 3D game than most.
The problem is that the big market for games right now is java (as so many phones support it) wheras the graphics chip in the N95 is so new and rare companies aren't gonna make money developing for such a narrow market

thanks for the racer tip. I installed the demo and it works.

too bad there isn't any interest in making games for the n95. Perhaps I should port my own VERY old game, blix (a bomber version in a 3d maze. not very exciting I'm afraid, but it won a price a long time ago)
