"From Myst to Atari 2600: A 30-year journey showcasing our technological progress"

TL;DR Summary
Vince Weaver, an associate professor at the University of Maine, has created a "demake" of the iconic game Myst for the Atari 2600, a console released in 1977 with limited capabilities. Weaver's project aims to adapt the graphically-rich game to fit the older hardware, presenting a unique challenge. While he doesn't plan to port the entire game, he wants to create enough puzzles to make it a "real" game. Weaver's demake showcases the evolution of gaming technology over the past 30 years.
