I feel like there is a renaissance afoot. These old school emulators are highly performant in the browser. And it's only a matter of time until some intrepid developer releases a full fledged app, akin to Briklin & Frankston's VisiCalc, that launches them from the creative ghetto of "retro computing" and into the mainstream!
