Fans Thank Innovative Gamer for Adding a New Dimension to a Classic Nintendo Console

There are certain games that one can’t get enough of and want to keep playing even after completing their entire quest. Well, Portal series falls under this category thanks to its unmatched popularity even after a decade of its first entry’s debut.

Now it seems like the game can also run on certain platforms that existed before its official launch itself. Yes, that’s actually possible now, thanks to a Demake that one passionate Nintendo and Portal gamer made for the latter to run on a retro console.

Portal Demake revealed to be running on a Nintendo 64 (N64)!

For the ones not well-versed about it, Portal was first released in the year 2007 by Valve. The game features a first-person perspective with the players taking on the role of the protagonist named Chell. She’s a woman who’s forced to undergo many tests within the Aperture Science Enrichment Center by an evil A.I. called GLaDOS.

Its direct sequel Portal 2 was launched four years after the first game. Not to mention that both the titles were well-received by the critics and the players themselves. At the moment, the series is considered among one of the greatest gaming franchises.
