Online browser-based projects which you can play or create with from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive:
YATTA!

There are various sets including classic animated emoticons (both Western and Japanese) and sprite blocks from old Nintendo games (such as Super Mario Brothers, pictured above).
You can try it out for yourself here.
