Sure, that's no Doom3, but the examples included in the pygame package do compare nicely to popular cellphone/gameboy/web games. These, at least according to some cellular network commercials, are considered "cool" :-) However, in our case, it seems that, at least for now, we will be limited to using a remote text terminal (due to external considerations) - so sound and graphics are out of the question...
