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.

    Portal 2 also came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 but was a standalone and not part of the Orange Box. Portal 2 on consoles was interesting because I believe it also came with a Steam key for the game as well.

      As well as a version of steam that ran directly on the console. You could login and chat with your steam friends, if I recall correctly.

      It did, I bought the ps3 version specifically because of this. I was able to play coop with my gf at the time via the same copy and cross play. Valve ahead of their time honestly
