Back in 2007, I talked one of my grad school friends into writing a Therac-25 UI simulator so that we could release a fake April Fools' assignment asking the students to do some hands-on experiments with a real Therac-25. ("Bring a partner and a signed liability release form. How many rads did you receive while doing this assignment?")

I am delighted to discover that, for the last five years, the Wikipedia article has featured a screenshot of that simulator... and for much of that time suggested it was a screenshot of a real Therac.
