Several years ago PCG reported on the early stages of a project by programmer James Lambert, who really loves the N64 and decided for the hell of it to make a version of Portal that runs on hardware first released in 1996.
Well, Lambert is clearly the type of chap who commits to something and then follows through, because he’s spent the time since then continually adding bits and bobs and now has something which, to my admittedly uneducated eyes, is the most impressive homebrew game I’ve ever seen.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

He’s documenting his progress on YouTube, pretty interesting!

The mad lad poured more effort in this than multimillion studios put into ports or remasters.
New itrunsdoom category? Impressive.
Does someone sell the cartridge? I would like to play it on my N64.
Could probably get a flashcart and load the ROM on there
I think the youtube video that’s linked in the article has the rom as a download. The game isn’t finished thought I think.
Now Portal is a game I’d love to see ported to just about every single device on the planet. I absolutely support what is being made here/there/wherever.
Yeah I’ve seen videos of his work and it’s goddamn impressive.
