That’s interesting. It must be one of the most ported games ever. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia_(1989_video_game)#Ports https://en.m.wikiped

  I think that title goes to Pac-Man[1]. It helps being older, not to mention one of the most recognizable games ever made. As well as the 80's being a time when many unique platforms rose and fell. And honorable mention goes to Lode Runner[2] which doesn't have quite the fame as Pac-Man but has still managed to create a lasting legacy (pun intended).

    Pretty sure Adventure beat out Pac-Man for being the first ported game, being that it was ported back in '77, before Pac-Man first went to arcades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure Note that Pong and Space War were both ported before Pac-Man, as well, though Space War didn't get a home version before Pac-Man to my knowledge, it did get ported from mainframe hardware to an arcade cabinet before Pac-Man existed.

    Give it time but watch out for Attack of the PETSCII Robots!

    What about Tetris? Though the line gets blurry about "official" ports of Tetris, I'd wager that the core game concept is one of the most ported of all time.

    There's this interesting backstory about Lode Runner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnl-NTzlumM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnl-NTzlumM It is by far my favorite game.

  I would guess something really old such as Colossal Cave Adventure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure), Star Trek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_(1971_video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_(1971_video_game)), or Hunt the Wumpus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus) or a computer version of hangman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_(game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_(game)) takes that crown. There were a lot more platforms to port to in the early days.
