Title: Cloud Impact
Post by: ElPolloDiabl on June 17, 2009, 11:29:38 AM

Take any low spec hardware (E.g. an 030@50mhz Amiga) add a browser. Next take an online portal, a reasonable monthly access fee (est ~$40). You now have access to hundreds of 3D games.

Think of it like a Cybercafe in your lounge room.

I'm not an astroturfer, but I am impressed with the technology.
Here is one site doing this, albeit only on PC and Mac, the free plug:

I doubt a 50Mhz 030 could decode the video stream quick enough...

Good point, maybe 2D games for them, but you're ruining my spin.:roflmao:
