One of my all time favorite games is Nintendo’s Game & Watch device “Donkey Kong II”. You can now play it on your iPad in HTML5. It is without sound on your precious tablet, but that’s due to Apple’s lack of proper audio support in Mobile Safari.
To play with sound effects, point your desktop browser there.
On the iPad it plays offline too, right after you’ve installed it on your home screen.
I hope that Nintendo will engage and support this tribute to a game long forgotten, in a similar way that Activision is endorsing sarien.net. Whatever Nintendo’s response will be (if any) - it would indicate that the games industry should take HTML5 more seriously, as it’s becoming a more mature gaming platform.
