You thought that someone was going to play actual 3D portal on 40 year old computer that runs at 1/1,000,000th the speed of modern computers?

  Well I'd be fine even if the framerate was bad. Maybe it could play the game full speed using cloud gaming?

    Get in the corner right now. Nerd shaming time, everybody line up.

    You think a computer that came out in 1977 with 4KB of memory could play portal at full speed using 'cloud gaming'? You might have to explain to me how that would work. These chips don't even have floating point instructions. A single frame would take weeks to render even if they somehow had 100,000 times as much memory.

      >You might have to explain to me how that would work. You render frames at a very low resolution and send them in a format that is quick to decompress. Then you send keyboard / mouse input to the computer that's running the game for you. Streaming games has been done on the game boy so I'd imagine you could do it on other ancient hardware.
