The full story

Getting SimTower running through emulation proved too fiddly, so the author spent six months with Claude Code decompiling it and rewriting all of its code from scratch. ConciliaTower is a faithful recreation you can play in a web browser. You bring your own SIMTOWER.EXE for the original assets.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
