Wow. Descent? I haven't even thought about that game in a decade and a half. I feel like the hardware required to play that game doesn't really require lugging, these days.
Most people run a newer .exe in higher resolution and a high framerate. You can run it moderately well with reduced settings on a Raspberry Pi, and we have people bring mini-PC's to LANs. A big CPU tower is no longer necessary.
What almost everybody lugs is their preferred controller (gaming keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.) and a good monitor.
