Or playing Doom. It will be slow as hell and you’d also have to implement a lot of stuff that has been created IRL for decades, but it’s possible. A CPU is a CPU, it can do the same things all CPUs can, some are faster, some are slower. I guess you could eventually run out of space to build the in-game CPU, but I also heard the maps are ridiculously large.
