Shotgate: Portal Clone For The (Yes!) Commodore 64

9:20AM Stuart Houghton | Get me Valve on the phone. Tell Lombardi that the Portal prequel dev team can go home – their services are no longer required. And yes, that Portal fan mod can sling its hook too. The Commodore 64 remake ‘Shotgate’ has rendered both games utterly pointless. Yes, it’s a Portal clone for the C64.
