People have been using scientific calculators as math class distractions for years, from gunning down Nazis in Wolfenstein to hunting demons in Doom. But our jaws dropped in amazement when we discovered that an enterprising fellow that goes by Builderboy from Omnimaga has ported over Portal to the humble number cruncher. Dubbed Portal Prelude, the monochrome game is built only for the TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus series of graphic calculators and was based on the Flash clone of the popular video game due to the two-dimensional nature of the platform.

Indeed, you can go ahead and download it right now if you have a compatible calculator.
