John Holland's ECHO
Echo is a simulation tool developed to investigate mechanisms which regulate diversity and information-processing in systems comprised of many interacting adaptive agents, or complex adaptive systems (CAS).

Hardware Artificial Life (HAL)
Lotus Artificial Life's Java cellular automata substrate capable of supporting evolving, self-reproducing organisms which are capable of universal computation.

Red Bird Island: Artificial Life
Simple world with automata that act to form complex systems. Implimented on the Macintosh.

The MatremPage
An experiment in artificial life, and a game as well, where players create new animals to struggle and survive.
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~romans

JuhasWorld
JuhasWorld: Yes it's alive! You have to see this applet to believe it. Just let those actors evolve for a few generations and they suddenly seem quite clever indeed. Wait a few more generations and you will be completely hooked: How good can they get?
