Unreal Tournament, Red Alert 2 And Other Classics Are Now Playable on Web Based Versions
Party Like It’s 2000 With Classic Games Revived On The Web
Ars Technica discovered a treasure trove of classic multiplayer games which have resurrected as web based versions you can play whenever you feel like it. We are talking about classics like the original Unreal Tournament, Chrono Divide which is C&C Red Alert 2 with a different name, Half-Life: Deathmatch, Doom, Quake 2 and 3. They aren’t all located on the same webpage, it’s not like NewGrounds has returned but the links from Ars will take you where you desire.
As is tradition, all these games have their own Discord you can join if you so desire. The work that went into these is impressive, and thanks to being web based you can play these on Windows, Linux or Mac without extra effort. Check them out when you have a chance!
The project initially started out as an experiment and was meant to prove that it was possible to have a fully working, cross-platform RTS game running in a web browser. Now, with a playable version already available, the end-goal is reaching feature parity with the original vanilla “Red Alert 2” engine.
