Is there a good clone of Acrophobia?

Apparently Uproar.com just kicked the bucket, and they were the last remaining source for a good clone of the original Acrophobia (albeit in Java form).

Is there an applet version that retains all the aesthetics of the original? Or better yet, a downloadable version? AcroChallenge certainly fits the bill of being downloadable, but it's kinda lousy in that it doesn't really recreate the game all too well and its interface is almost unwieldy.

http://www.acrowars.com/ was pretty decent. The G&T IRC chan messed around on there for a while one night, good times.

Unfortunately it's not downloadable, but it's pretty faithful to the original from what I remember. Just without all those annoying ads of course.

The interface is certainly clean (although far from the original Acrophobia's look), but the lack of a "topics" feature is kind of annoying.

I played a whole hell of a lot of Acrophobia back in 1997. One of my fondest memories and favorite inside jokes is:

"walking penis invented, scientists pleased."

No one voted for it.

I can see why, most of the people playing in acrowars right now are truly stereotypical anonymous internet cockwads...
