Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are even Easter Eggs and additional tasks. If you click on the system description button for each emulator it will give you a list. I couldn't get the later emulators to work correctly though. My mouse kept flying off to the right of the screen for some reason. Also unfortunate is the scaling and tilting effect makes the screens look real bad on my machine. Just ugly aliasing artifacts everywhere.

The PowerPC Macs and NeXT boxes are emulated with a lower-level emulator that wants to get raw deltas from the mouse, not an absolute pixel position. If you just wave the mouse over the emulator, you'll get something approximating the…
