I've suggested the "art" tag for this one. You really nailed it, and made me remember a time when computers were just pure fun for me. Nice work.

Looks nice! If you want to go more 90s, incorporate .mod/.s3m/.xm/.it music in (maybe libmikmod?).

I always thought that keygens/crackers were kind of like a work of art and wish there was a place I could download and use them (even on Wine) even if I don't have any interest in the running the actual software the keygens was for.

I was thinking of making a visual frontend for ssh-keygen that looks like a warez keygen. It should be pretty easy to adapt this one to do that.

An alternative and even simpler way to make it useful is to make it a frontend for uuidgen, now that I think of it.

Where does the art come from?

Two of your images are slop. From looking at your work, I don't think this was intentional and you probably care about it. If you want to replace them, here's what I found by running exiftool <image>:

All in all, nice project!
