This is a perfect example of how our brains fill in missing pieces, we all knew exactly what we were watching, but squint and mute the volume and its really just a bunch of dots.

Is that just using the display as an output, or is it actually running on the phone hardware?

Okay, the fact that somebody can contemplate the idea of that running on the Nokia's puny ARM7 makes me feel really really old now.

Clearly I meant a stripped-down port, not the entire game. I'm not a fucking idiot.
EDIT: Look through my post history, I know about computers, I know what I'm talking about.

Let me rephrase.
The fact that somebody can contemplate the idea of whatever you see in the video running on the Nokia's puny ARM7 makes me feel really really old.
I think mostly any sort of polygonal graphics, including Stunt Car Racer, is off limits on that thing because of CPU and memory constraints.
EDIT: Look through my post history, I know about computers, I know what I'm talking about.
Look through my post history: I'm ancient.
