Very interesting and you have to ask, why wasn't this thought of before?

Pass. Seems kind of silly and gimmicky. I think it would get pretty boring after a short time.

For me it was the time length of the video.

Doom RPG you mean?
I played it all the way through on my then Symbian phone. It was a pretty neat game actually. They turned Doom into this very simple turn-based combat game where turns were more like micro-turns that lasted just a tenth of a second or so. It was all done very smart and brave of them to realize a classic style of Doom wouldn't work well on the mobile phones of that era.

Yeah, pretty rare these days, most mobile games are just cash grabs instead of well thought of games.
