This is brilliant. I love finding old pages, my uncle used to have a page way back in the day and I remember (as a kid) being absolutely fascinated by it. Seemed like magic to me. It's now mostly defunct (nothing works anymore, the tabs don't even show up, but it still has a landing page) http://wildrock.de/

I've seen this exact java support before and modernized it. Here's some new source for your uncle, though without the colored glow effects added by the java applet: https://gist.github.com/Efreak/7d51382bb1787b9e34f3428a61ad7...

Since I first did this years ago and this was a simple copy/paste of that on mobile, it uses javascript to change img src instead of css :hover to change a background.

that's so awesome, thank you!
Weird -- I reloaded the page, but the view counter didn't update!
