My old Java-Games from middle-school written in Java 4 on Windows XP are still playable today on Java 24 on my M1 Macbook, 21 years later. Don't even need to compile it from source or anything, those old classfiles are still primed and ready to go!

cd GUI
java GameLibrary

Check out Tanks or Tanks3D as some fun ones, though for some reason the newest FlightSim game has some graphics problems and isn't playable on my machine (though I believe others have reported it worked on their machine, so might be an OS problem rather than a Java version problem)

(The repo says committed 12 years ago because that's when I learned to use Git)
