    All of these HTML5 games lack ambition. None of them seem to have the gameplay, fun-factor, playtime, or cohesiveness of say... original Super Mario Brothers. Apparently Freeciv online wasn't submitted, but I think it has a lot more polish and overall completedness than any of these submissions. Personally, I think the future of HTML5 gaming is wide open

      Give them a try, I don't see how a HTML5 MMORPG (far7) lacks ambition and in my eyes it is more polished (and original) than freeciv.net.

      I do agree that HTML5 gaming is wide open. Amazing work, a playable game using only Javascript would have been unheard of a few years ago.

    Favimon, you have my axe. I've got Slashdot with 10 armour and a stolen double click from interface.org.nz.
