levelsio's browser nostalgia projects: Windows 3.1 and Quake multiplayer in a tab
banteg · x · 2026-10-11
levelsio looks back at two years of "nostalgia engineering": getting Windows 3.1 running fully in the browser, then solving the fiendishly hard dial-up internet emulation (with help from @bai0, seemingly the only person who'd cracked it). He also ported classic games like Quake to WASM with ready-to-go multiplayer servers, including Quake III ported by @lukathedev. A quoted post lists AAA titles — Black Ops zombies, Skate 3, Halo, MW2 — now playable in a browser tab with no local install, hinting at a school-gaming wave.
