Solitude even has the victory animation: http://i.imgur.com/IlSm5pE.png Funnily enough if you leave the tab in the background, the events queue up and when you tab back there are a bunch of cards bouncing around at once: http://i.imgur.com/dNObRGb.png

You mean Solitaire...Solitude sounds so odd...

They called it Solitude.

We, the Dutch call it 'patience,' as how it sounds in French.

Personally, I used to call it 'sol.exe.'

It has probably been shown plenty of times before, but here is a linux command-line javascript one too. http://bellard.org/jslinux/

The Bellard one isn't just a graphics simulation though... it is actually an x86 emulator running the real program. (Bellard is the author of qemu too)

Clever and artful, with a little nostalgia thrown in. 1993 was the year I started my undergrad and would not see a "web browser" until the following year. It's nice to re-capture a little of the spirit of what computing was like back then. Tip: Be sure to click on the virus and after what happens happens, fling the icons around. Moments of mindless fun.

I was just doing that, when the girlfriend goes "oh I remember when the computer used to do that" - my response: "you had a virus then..." :D at least back then viruses had a bit of class to em

I had that virus on Windows 98SE.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I noticed a few other French easter eggs, like the names of the city "stive" is visiting during his acid trip, or that "the national train company is on strike, but you managed to reach Lille in less than 15 hours. #WIN".
