Reverse-engineer a 1997 PC game and make it run on modern hardware
Claude Code got an old DirectX game running on modern hardware, decompiled much of it, built a headless parallel runner, and now writes full level guides with screenshots.
Developers showed OpenClaw playing Forza Horizon on its own, imperfectly, and built playable bots for a multiplayer web game.

The article summarizes community reports, not its own test. A developer on LinkedIn showed OpenClaw driving Forza Horizon with the keyboard and mouse untouched. The agent screenshots the game, a vision model reads it, and it sends inputs in a loop. A Hacker News developer used OpenClaw to build bots for a multiplayer web game.
Forza driving was autonomous but far from good, and not competitive. The web-game bots were the first that competed meaningfully, after several failed attempts with standard LLM-based bots.
Frequent vision-model loops can cost an estimated $5 to $30 per day on API models. Online games with anti-cheat may ban accounts for automation.
Open [game or web game name] on my computer and try playing it on your own for [10 minutes], aiming to [objective, e.g. finish one race or reach level 3]. Narrate what you try and where you get stuck, then give me a short summary of how well it went. Don't make purchases, sign into accounts, or send messages without asking me first.

An OpenClaw agent told about a check engine light ordered an OBD2 scanner from Amazon, read the results, identified a sensor issue and cleared the light.
OpenClaw built and shipped a live landing page, wired lead capture with duplicate protection, set up a geo-targeted Google Ads campaign and a consent-mode tag.
