Virtual Apple

For those of us who grew up with an Apple II computer in the home, Virtual Apple provides a timesucking trip down memory lane.  Dedicated to "preserving a generation of Apple 2 disks," Virtual Apple emulates old Apple 2 games in your web browser.  Ironically, because they're powered by Active X, the games only work in Internet Explorer for Windows, though the site operators promise Firefox compatible (i.e. Mac) versions soon.  For now just boot up in Parallels, and see how rusty your Lode Runner skills have grown.
