I don't make many (or any) threads, I just came across this and thought it was pretty awesome, so here we go.

Visiting that link will allow you to run (on the fly) a Phosphor, a death-match game for a stand alone engine.
It uses Direct 7, I think is the highest setting, the graphics are almost on par with HL1 (that is, upon the release of HL1, of course). It runs a server through the browser interface. You can play the game windows or full screen. You can host Internet games or lan games too. Or play with bots.
Now, this is purely a novelty, It's not really that good ... beats the pants of Urban Dead though. :smile:
As far as I can tell, the thing pretty much doesn't work in firefox. It works in mozilla, however, (netscape too), and (obviously :rolleyes: ) IE.
[EDIT]Apparently, it does work in FF.
Oh yes, you can also define all your settings, there's mouse control and all that jazz.
Post up your comments ... start clans, if you're that much of a douchebag. :smile:
WARNING: This is not intended for low bandwidth users! So, don't bitch about it
[EDIT]
http://www.rasterwerks.com/ is the main site ... not much there, however. I can only assume that's the company and/or engine name (RasterWerks).
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
