This is a bit tangential, but I've been completely impressed by a ton of the Bad Apple "ports" to various platforms (particularly the Sega Genesis and the Atari 2600). It's amazing how the simple choice of making a mostly-binary music video has made a song popular in hacker culture.

Theres an old japanese page that seems to explain how it works: http://web.archive.org/web/20121128095253/www.geocities.jp/submarine600/html/apple.html http://web.archive.org/web/20121128095253/www.geocities.jp/s...

I know the Sega Genesis one works in an emulator (I don't have a physical Sega Genesis anymore so I can't try it on an everdrive or anything), but I haven't actually tried the Atari one in any capacity, so that one could be BS.
