Stockfish works for me.

(I've used it to open PGN-files created by Stockfish as well as game files from Chess.com.)

You can always manually re-construct the game from the record into any computer program.

There does not have to be a technological solution.

PGN files are plain text and can be opened in any text editor. Most chess programs can handle the files natively.
