The fact that Javascript is being used for programming hardware now is an indication of it’s maturity. On a lighter note, emulation of older computers for games is far better now. Here are some examples:
- http://bbc.godbolt.org/ - Acorn BBC Micro emulator. Play the original Elite in glorious monochrome, plus near perfect conversions of Defender (Planetoid) and Pacman (Snapper).
- https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games - Internet Archive’s MS DOS games archive.
No more having to faff about with software such as DOSbox, just play in browser. After years of hating the language, I love it for the above sites alone!
