        there is a PC game--has it been ported?

        It hasn't been ported, but there are quite a few people running it through WINE, so that might be an option here with a fair bit of effort. There is also a 2600 'Polybius', but it's a different project and doesn't seem to be as engaging as the Windows release.

        Edit: Remember, as with any game, if you start to go mad from playing 'Polybius' and your eyes begin the bleed, it might be time for a nice game of chess.

          @backstander Both of these titles were made as PC games. @mediamogul Doesn't WINE require x86 architecture? If there's a way to emulate a windows environment, I think I'd rather have the WinIPAC utility than either of these!

            For the most part yes, but there is work

            on marrying it to Qemu-i386. It might not ever be anything to fully depend on, as WINE itself can be pretty finicky on a good day, but minor applications and utilities should function just fine. Also, I might be underestimating 'Polybius', but it doesn't look like it would require much more horsepower than what could be achieved with this approach. The Pi itself might need a few speed bumps though.
