OpenAI Codex Agent Successfully Boots Up 25-Year-Old Game

A developer tested OpenAI Codex's Computer Use capabilities to run a 25-year-old Swedish Windows 95 game from their childhood.
Initially, the CD was read as an audio file, but under the autonomous operation of the Codex agent, the game made significant booting progress. This case vividly demonstrates the potential of AI agents in handling complex, non-standard legacy system tasks.
