Some of the guys over at Google had some spare time on their hands so the decided to port Quake II to HTML5. They started off with the existing Jake2 Java port of the Quake II engine and then used the Google Web Toolkit to cross compile it into javascript.
Check out the video below of Quake II running in a web browser with HTML5, very impressive.
Once the guys at Google got the game running in HTML5 they were more than a little surprised to see the frame rates of around 30fps running on their laptops.
You can find out more information about the port of Quake II to HTML5 over at the Google Web Toolkit Blog.
