We've heard previously about Nokia's Maemo 5-powered flagship smartphone the N900 running emulators up a treat, and it seems the homebrew community has been delving deeper into old code for some great classic games.

A video has appeared over on MyNokiaBlog showing the classic Blizzard games Warcraft II and Starcraft playing a treat on Nokia's new handset, though obviously certain legal boundaries have presumably been crossed in order for them to do so.

The original Blizzard games came out in 1996 and 1998 respectively, and were immensely popular RTS precursors to the MMORPG World of Warcraft that the developer is now famous for.

Quite how Blizzard might feel about this particular line of emulation I wouldn't like to say (certainly Blizzard is a friend to the modder, though emulation is a different game), but this looks like a damn fine port considering the mouse controls have been replaced with touchscreen input.

Check out the vid below (and thanks to Will for the tip).
