And Quake 3: https://thelongestyard.link/q3a-demo/ https://thelongestyard.link/q3a-demo/ And Unreal Tournament: https://dos.zone/mp/?lobby=ut https://dos.zone/mp/?lobby=ut There's also https://noclip.website/ https://noclip.website/ which, while not playable, has hundreds of levels from dozens of older games that you can explore freely. Including Half-Life 2, with more accurate rendering than this web port (which seems to be missing many shaders including character eyes).

What a time to be alive
- rvnx 4mo ago
  What a time, but at what cost ? Interestingly, these Wasm ports are all about nostalgia games. I sort-of wish we would live in 1998 (when HL1 was released). Less social network, a more creative internet, LAN parties, IRC / ICQ, easier new connections. We now have tailwind / material UI, a locked-down Apple ecosystem, Photoshop with millions of nagging screens, centralized mega-corps like OpenAI, and the first bits of World War 3 where drones and robotics are made to kill people. Misses a lot this free internet (though 1 USD / minute)

    It is so easy to not use tailwind, apple, photoshop, or openai. It's really easy to stay off of social networks. Computers are smaller/easier to move so lan parties are easier (although as a real adult with a real job they're harder to pull off). The world war 3 bits suck, i'll admit, but most of the "early internet" stuff that people are nostalgic about still exists, you just have to look for it.

I vibe coded this for exploring levels in the original Deus Ex: https://dxwebview.pages.dev/ https://dxwebview.pages.dev/ (https://github.com/addrummond/dxwebview https://github.com/addrummond/dxwebview). It's a bit janky owing to the vibe coding, but the basic functionality works pretty well. You need the original game data files to use it.

  I visited this page in Firefox and was presented with a message that essentialy said (paraphrasing): "this site best viewed with browser X". Now, I'm not a professional web developer, and maybe there are legitimate reasons why this app is depending on new cutting edge browser features that aren't yet supported by Firefox, but it seems to me that this just shouldn't be a thing anymore.

  - notsentient 4mo ago
    You can load and get into game with Firefox, you can click the proceed anyway link at the bottom to try it, however performance is worse and some features don't work. Namely Firefox is missing support for the `FileSystemFileHandle` locking mode which prevents multiple tabs from running (cannot share file handles), and they have a negative standards position on implementing some other parts of the File System Access API like `showDirectoryPicker()`.
