I have just looked around what's new in Application Manager and found "nspeed", which is a 3D racing game. Quite fast and good key mappings. Just wanted to point this out, because my search for "nspeed" here in the forums turned out nothing, so I thought I'd post this here.

The game is packaged by Sami Kyostila, but other than that, I can't find any page on the Maemo.org downloads page.

I try it on my N800 and I am amazed by the graphic speed, but + and - keys are hard to use for acceleration.

Feels good.
Is there a way to change the keymapping? Config file somewhere maybe?
Like dzahariev said, the minus button is not a very good choice for brake.

There's stuff at /usr/share/games/nspeed/ but can't find a config file anywhere.

Oh yeah, the secret for the fast graphics is low resolution. Avoid pressing the home/swap/menu key. What ever it is called.

The author has created an app page for the game:

I had been looking for a racing game especially after seeing all those iPod touch commercials.

I really like it, but UP and DOWN should be used for acceleration and brake.

Nice game. I agree that the key maping could be better. The source of nspeed is available (more info here http://unrealvoodoo.org/hiteck/blog/...rted-to-maemo/)
so somebody with more time than I do could figure out the key mapping.
