I am aware it’s not really a game. Nevertheless:
Noble Avatar Generator - http://www.nobleavatar.com/

I used it in my other game (Aevum Obscurum) to allow players to create their own avatar. Noble Avatar is the standalone version. You can create your avatar via Java Applet, Java Web Start or download the application for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and UNIX. There are about 15 trillion combinations, give or take a few!

Java Webstart: http://www.nobleavatar.com/webstart/NobleAvatar.jnlp

A randomizer - great idea. I put it onto the to do list ;D

I am not so sure how well the Applet loader works for everyone. I am using jQuery to load a file with the actually applet tag when the placeholder image gets clicked. Here is the code if anyone is interested?

header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="script/jquery/jquery.js"></script>

body:
<div id="applet_location"><img id="applet_placeholder" src="webstart/applet-placeholder.gif" style="cursor: pointer;"></div>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    $("#applet_placeholder").click(function() {
      $("#applet_placeholder").attr("src", "webstart/applet-loading.gif");
      $("#applet_location").load("webstart/applet.inc");
    });
</script>

Then the actual applet.inc file:

<applet code="com.nobleavatar.client.AppClient" 
        codebase="http://www.nobleavatar.com/webstart/unpacked"
        archive="jarfile1.jar,jarfile2.jar"
        width="760" height="460">
  <param name="image" value="http://www.nobleavatar.com/webstart/applet-loading.gif">
  <param name="boxmessage" value="Loading Noble Avatar...">
</applet>
