Portal 64 is dead...long live Portal 64; or the sad cancellation of Portal 64

I 100% DONT blame Valve for not wanting to get involved in a potential legal pissing match with Nintendo even if something like Portal 64 involved Nintendo SDK libraries that are nearing 25+ years old at this point in time but the specter of Nintendo haunts basically everything and Portal 64 was sadly the lately body stacked along the way.

If you haven't seen Portal 64 yet it was a retail level impressive demake of the OG Portal, on Nintendo 64 that worked on real hardware and on MiSTer FPGA. The level of polish and attention to detail on the demake was at such a level that it just felt like a retail game and in a lot of instances more impressive than what we got on N64 back in the day. But sadly it's no longer as it used libraries that were used by developers to make N64 games back in the day.

It still exists out there but unfortunately it will never be properly finished. Curious who got a chance to play it?
