It&#x27;s pretty amazing how much classic software can actually run, and works pretty well. The Wolf3D clone is totally playable, and you can actually use LSDJ (one of my all-time favorite pieces of software), and it seems to be actually running the real LSDJ, too, which is pretty impressive, considering that it means that the site actually has an <i>embedded gameboy emulator</i>

This seems so amazing that I had to close it immediately, scared of how much time I would lose with it.

Awesome site, make sure you play the Castle Wolfenstein game and check out chapter 2 - &quot;Operation Stallman&quot;.<p>It&#x27;s the most &#x2F;g&#x2F; thing I&#x27;ve seen all day.

Solitude even has the victory animation: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;IlSm5pE.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;IlSm5pE.png</a><p>Funnily enough if you leave the tab in the background, the events queue up and when you tab back there are a bunch of cards bouncing around at once: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;dNObRGb.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;dNObRGb.png</a>

Clever and artful, with a little nostalgia thrown in.<p>1993 was the year I started my undergrad and would not see a &quot;web browser&quot; until the following year. It&#x27;s nice to re-capture a little of the spirit of what computing was like back then.<p>Tip: Be sure to click on the virus and after what happens happens, fling the icons around. Moments of mindless fun.

It has probably been shown plenty of times before, but here is a linux command-line javascript one too.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bellard.org&#x2F;jslinux&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bellard.org&#x2F;jslinux&#x2F;</a>

The trick in the &quot;simulator&quot; is to drink coffee, smoke cigarette, smoke weed then take lots of acid and procrastinate until the operating system is finished. Then launch it to finish game. I got 194 #Hero<p>You can also go to Paris at some point.

This is bringing back strong memories of messing around with QBASIC and Clickteam&#x27;s The Games Factory.<p>My first game was called &quot;Money 4 Nothing&quot; and you moved a mouse-cursor locked guy around collecting floating cash piles and avoiding guards who usually just shot you on a loop.

Pretty brilliant site. Unfortunately it locked up Chrome tight after I ran the 3d program and tried to close it along with running Wolfenstein.

If you open the recycle bin there&#x27;s a zip file that actually downloads through your real browser to your real computer. I didn&#x27;t bother opening it. It has a filename not everyone will immediately know how to delete. That&#x27;s really not a funny thing to put out there.

You can cheat on the &quot;Solitude game&quot; (that I finished few times already) by double-clicking on hidden cards to add them to the top if they are the matching cards.

The Window Manager and opening&#x2F;closing&#x2F;dragging&#x2F;resizing effects were really impressive for 1993. Way more than Mac at the time, or even Linux 3-4 years later.

It&#x27;s tricky to win at SOLITUDE when the first deuce played to a foundation just disappears.
