Successfully Ported an Old Game Using Cursor Cloud Agents
vinvan · x · 2026-07-18
A developer shared a stunning case of using Cursor cloud agents. He wanted to replay an obscure 2008 Windows game, so he had Cursor work autonomously in the cloud.
- Task Execution: The agent combined multiple broken open-source clients and searched web archives and old forums for missing files, ultimately creating an Apple Silicon version and a Mac launcher.
- Cloud Advantage: The entire testing and gameplay process occurred in the cloud, avoiding the risk of bricking the local machine from downloading unknown forum files.
- Workflow: All operations were performed via the Cursor mobile app while on the subway, with his Devin agent handling other tasks in parallel.
