So the classic video game has been ported to the web. All you need to play is just a web browser.

News here:-
Doom ported to the Web, video inside - TechSpot News

Link here:-

I run it from FF 4.0.1 for a couple of minutes and the demo feels very solid.

What do you think about it guys? Useless thing, nostalgia or some new direction? Please pour in your comments.

I don't think it's a very good and innovative idea at all.

BTW, thanks for the news ;-)

Er it's only a demonstration to show the power of HTML5 with Canvas, WebGL and JavaScript.
