..which is actually a stealth request that people consider joining the MAME Artwork efforts, which allow beautiful renderings of machines to be clickable on machines. It's more in the Art than Programming sphere, and it would be great if more people joined it.

some incredible person rewrote warren robinett's Robot Odyssey (apple //) for a browser

if you've never heard of it: you explore an underground city of robots by... hopping inside of a robot, visually reprogramming it by picking up and dropping things, and then using it to do stuff

crazy great #ui design, especially considering this was 1984.

the code would be later torn apart and repurposed for other games in the Learning Company's library, like Rocky's Boots.
