When I first read the article I thought they were talking about Quake 1. I thought, wow thats cool. But iIve already seen the same quake 1 engine ported to flash so not too amazing. That was all before i actually went to the site and found out this engine is actually a port of Quake 2.

All i can say is JS / HTML5 is going to be fun. Don't get me wrong. I'm a flash guy and do almost all my work in flash / flex. Still with that said. I'm excited for what opportunities this will end up bringing.

What Ben created is a JavaScript emulator that emulates the Nintendo Entertainment System. What makes it remarkable is that it's actually playable. Under Chrome and Safari I get ~50 fps. Firefox delivers about ~10 fps and the iPhone surprising works at a miserable ~.5fps.

What I think is cool about this is that it shows us how far JavaScript has come over the years. and how powerful HTML5 + Canvas will really be. I'll be excited to see what else comes out from the community in the upcoming year.
