No, 770 doesn't have floating point math support in hardware, that's why we have Doom instead

Searching for 'quake' and 'fixed point' revealed the following page: http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/readme.php
You can check their sources to test if they are better suited for ARM powered devices.

I get low fps (3-8fps?) but can shrink window for what i would guess is fast enough gameplay (15+?)
Rendering for a small resolution and then scaling it fullscreen should fix performance problems.

Anyway, I myself prefer turn based games on 770/n800, the controls are not very well suited for action
