How do you play a game in PowerPoint?

Actually the use of the term "Powerpoint" is unnessessary. It is really just a projector (often used for Powerpoint) but using it to project (movies, games, whatever) results in a much larger image then one normally would get through a traditional TV or Computer Screen (much larger then even a large screen version of either).

Didn't know he had it in him.

I might have considered doing the same except that there's no way syssupport would ever let me borrow one. Somehow they've gotten it into their collective heads that I break things ...

True. I used the example of a powerpoint projector as the idea struck me when one of my collegues was using one.

You can get the old, big, huge clunky ones for much less. They do weigh in at a couple dozen kilograms though. Also if you game too much the cops might show up and search your house for grow lamps.

Grow lamps? Are those used for what I think they are?

I've always dreamt about playing some C64 or Amiga game on such things
Of course I wouldn't mind to play newer games also, but because of the resolution of these old games, it would be awsome


If I had a laptop, I would probably have testet the projector they have at my last school

I hooked up my Xbox to a projector and played at maybe a 70'' viewing screen or so. It was fun, but not as spectacular as I imagined.
