Didn't manage to play any of those... after the loading the controls do not seems to work (or at least it is not clear to me how to control the games).

Also I doubt it runs within the browser due to the fact there is a "stream only" label on the right, maybe they run it on the server and stream the video to the browser?

worked for me and it technically ran in the browser. I clicked play and it worked. May not be truly running by the browser but as long as the end user doesn't see the difference I guess.

Ok after checking further... it seems indeed an emulator done in JS. So yes it runs within the browser. Still I can't make it work :D

a found a few games too that not sure of controls. The Bruce Lee one is just arrow keys and space bar. Seems they do need better instructions. Looks like they are adding in a gamepad soon. Very smart idea as that can bring in a lot of ad revenue. Especially if they get multiplayer working.
