I'd like to play it, but unfortunately the motherboard of my computer is 
sent to repair, and the laptop I'm using in the mean time can't handle 3D 
graphics at all. Maybe later.

However, I've played Narbacular Drop a year or two ago. It's free and I 
highly recommend it!

AFAIK, the people who made Narbacular Drop were the ones later hired by 
Valve to help make Portal, and it's very easy to see the that technology and 
gameplay is the same. Narbacular Drop is more children friendly and more 
primitive graphics wise, but the portals and resulting gameplay is almost 
exactly the same as in Portal as far as I can see, although perhaps not as 
adrenaline intensive.

So if you think the puzzles in Portal look interesting, but aren't prepared 
to pay the $20, give Narbacular Drop a try for free for starters! Or if you 
beat Portal and would like more of the gameplay set in a different universe 
(and see what Portal started out as originally) also try out Narbacular 
Drop!
