I just noticed that I can actually compile my Chip-8/SuperChip runner to JS with Scala-JS:

https://joaocosta.eu/Demos/Chip8/?program=games/chipcross.ch8

Some games might look a bit janky - that's intended, as I'm keeping the clock speed at around 1kHz. But that can be increased with a query parameter: e.g. &clockSpeed=5000

To play the games:

ChipCross: Move the cursor with WASD, select with E.
RPS: Just use z, x and c to pick "Rock", "Paper" or "Scissors"
Rush Hour: Move the cursor with WASD, select with Z. Keep Z pressed and move to drag objects.
