id Software's games are ported over to nearly every platform, in part because it freely provides the engine code for most of their older game titles (hey id, when are you releasing the Doom III engine as open source?). Now some enterprising folks from Google have found a way to put id's 1997 shooter Quake II in a web browser that's running HTML5.

As you can see from the above YouTube video the game looks pretty good, even if the frame rate is a bit dodgy. HTML5 is the web site coding standard that is being used as a possible competitor to Flash for things like videos and, of course, games. While this Quake II experiment is just that it could lead the way to having more games ported to HTML5.
