NaClBox brings DOS-based gaming to Chrome along with sweet, sweet nostalgia
Now that Angry Birds has come to Chrome , none of us have any reason to leave the house. But if you like your games closer to 1fps, NaClBox may be more your speed. The Chrome-only emulator revives such DOS-based classics as The Secret of Monkey Island , Falcon 3.0 , and Alone In the Dark . Most are demos, meant to show off the browser’s Native Client potential and tug the heartstrings of retro-gamers . And we’ll admit getting a little misty at stepping back into the blocky shoes of Guybrush Threepwood — but maybe even more so at the bleepy-bloopy Soundblaster-era soundrack.
