Project mention: Show HN: C port of the (non-super) Star Trek game, incl. WASM for browser/phone | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-13https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
This is the best way to play short of hooking up your needle printer as a faux teletype terminal.
This is by the same person who made jspaint. https://github.com/1j01/jspaint Some of the other projects by the author are also very interesting https://github.com/1j01?tab=repositories&q=&type=&language=&...
There is this pipes screen saver for example https://1j01.github.io/pipes/
Project mention: Hoard-of-bitfonts: turns out I like bitmap fonts | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-15
Project mention: Solitaire: Authentic remake of the Windows 95 original | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17There is JS Solitaire as well which looks exactly like win 98 solitaire. https://github.com/1j01/98/tree/master/programs/js-solitaire

Project mention: The System Shock remake is excellent - and Nightdive's most ambitious work yet | /r/Games | 2023-06-03For what it's worth, Nightdive did release the source code for the old Mac version and there's currently a cross-platform source port in development based on it: Shockolate.

I did not know of a Java port, but this reminds me there is some kind of JavaScript-based environment for DOS that I see linked now and then (think it is bundled with FreeDOS?). Probably this one:
https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOjS
"DOjS is a JavaScript programming environment for systems running MS-DOS, FreeDOS or any DOS based Windows (like 95, 98, ME). It features an integrated editor, graphics & sound output, mouse/keyboard/joystick input and more"
Never tried it.
Project mention: Looking for a way to store and access games from everywhere | /r/selfhosted | 2023-09-06
Doom Retro - Doom source port for Windows. C, SDL2
