Christopher Souvey has released a very cool version of the Super Mario Theme song in a multitrack acapella version. The track is actually called “Platform a Plenty” from Super Mario Sunshine.
Wonder what the rating is on this! This really makes me want to play Mortal Kombat now!

Doom for me is the most classic game of all time. Alon Zakai has ported DOOM to the browser via HTML5, thus no Flash required!
Use the normal Doom keyboard controls: For the menu, arrow keys and enter; for the game, arrow keys, control, space and alt (hold to strafe).
Use your browser’s zoom to adjust the screen size (usually control + and control -).
Loading and saving games do work, but only until you leave the page. TODO: Use IndexedDB for persistent storage.
You can play it here in Firefox or Safari. Warning: Insanely slow in Chrome, don’t bother. Technical details here.
