6502 assembler and emulator in JavaScript

There's a 6502 assembler and emulator in JavaScript at 6502asm.com.

Remember the 8-bit 6502 chip, built into machines such as the Commodore C64? Remember learning its assembly language? Would you like to? Here's a chance to try it out!

(I didn't learn 6502 assembly language, as it happens, because I didn't come into computing through the C64-Amiga route, the way a fair number of people in my vocational school class did, but rather through Z80 machines such as the Schneider/Amstrad CPC464 and Joyce, so I learned Z80 assembler instead. And, later, x86 assembler.)

Scary thing is it sort of sticks in the memory. I attended one of the talks where someone was explaining the assembler code under parrot and actually understood a lot of it much to my surprise. Theres also another piece of software floating around called a86 d86 which is based on the 8086 assembler stuff IIRC.
