Although it was "removed due to copyright violations"[1] in 2003, TinyWindowsGames.com was a work of art. If you don't mind downloading random binaries you can still grab them via the Internet Archive. I will see if I can create a new screenshot of the playable, tiny thumbnail near the system tray (probably microscopic at today's resolutions).

[1] Nintendo reported us to some software theft agency over "Tiny Donkey
Kong" (I forget what the agency was called) and that got us threatened
us with scary emails. We tried to protest that we just supplied
emulators, and not ROM images, but it fell on deaf ears and we were
too young and intimidatable to stand our ground. It's a shame, since
it was a popular site in its day.

- girvo 9y agoI miss GameHippo. Back when I had dial-up and a Pentium 100mhz with 16mb of RAM, it was the best place to download tiny games that would actually run; and it's why I got into programming -- a README with one of the games said a single person wrote it in Pascal, and that gave me the inspiration to learn to program myself!
