First Person Shooter in Your Web Browser

We really are seeing some seriously cool advancements on the web these days. From the sweetness of AJAX interfaces to this amazing piece of work from Rasterwerks – a single and multi-player first-person shooter, called Phosphor, that runs in your web browser (via Jason Bradbury). If you are a skeptic like me, you undoubtedly assume that the game is full of low-resolution, 10 frame per second hardly playable gaming. Amazingly, you and I would both be wrong.
According to Jason, the game is decent enough that “you’d be proud to buy for your PSP…” Aside from needing a few more levels, the game – which is still in Beta – plays very well. Multiplayer gaming can accomplished using peer-to-peer Internet or LAN connections, so you can game with friends on your quick LAN connection or over the Internet. Also, if you’re sporting a decent gaming machine, you can crank the graphics up and get a full screen experience from Phosphor. You will need the Macromedia Shockwave player to get into the game, but once installed, all you need to do is head to the site and play. Amazing.
