Porting Zelda Classic to the web
I remember about 20 years ago there was a (IIRC) Java Applet-based multiplayer clone of Zelda: A Link to the Past that was sort of a forerunner the to MMORPGs we see today. It changed names to Graal Online because of the lawyers.<p>Thinking back to it, it was really ahead of its time, not only because it was massively multiplayer, but it had a great level editor and was doing user-created content in the late '90s.<p>--edit--<p>Oldest I could find on the wayback machine is from 1999, but that's a later version that was a standalone exe. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19991012175711/http://graalonline.com/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/19991012175711/http://graalonline...</a><p>--edit 2--<p>Here's a nice writeup: <a href="https://graal.in/t/graal-zelda-online-historical-thread/14203" rel="nofollow">https://graal.in/t/graal-zelda-online-historical-thread/1420...</a>
