Portal Ported To The Atari 2600
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 6:40 AM on September 12, 2008
If the Flash version of Portal was just a tad too hi-fi for your discriminating needs, perhaps the Atari 2600 "demake" of the title will do. From The Independent Gaming Source's Demakes contest, in which developers were tasked with remaking current titles on old platforms — Shadow of the Colossus for the TRS-80 Model III, for example — comes Super 3D Portals 6.
The 8-bit re-imagining is playable on the Atari VCS emulator of your choice, but the author recommends Stella. It's also free. We're firing up our copy of Stella on the Kotaku Towers West PC to partake right now.

Wasn't the 2600 technically considered, like, 2-bit?

Let the cake puns ensue. This actually looks very intriguing and it is a good thing I still have two Atari systems with me. I might give it a whirl . . . if I can actually find the systems though. xD

2.Press button

Bravo. Now I'm waiting to see if someone has made Gears of War for the Commadore 64.

There are lots of other finished demakes, so be sure to check those out as well! Current big favorites seem to include Squish, HouseGlobe, and Soundless Mountain 2!

Man, now if only they would make it into a proper 2600 cartridge I could play it on my TV with an original Atari joystick. =)

@Human Bomb Committed Solaricide: Are you kidding? That's at least, like, Secret Collect 3.
