+Thanks to recent advances in browser technology, it has been possible
+to port Progress Quest to run right in your browser. It wasn't easy;
+we started with hardware emulation of a 80386-equipped PC clone
+running a novel Windows XP compatable operating system called ProgrOS,
+implemented in a clean room in the Seychelles by a team of people who
+had never programmed before (to ensure no copyrights would be
+violated).
+
+Unfortuantely that wan't fast enough (too much lag death), so we
+instead emulated the much faster Cray-2 supercomputer and ran the
+80386 emulator in that. But the 80386 kept getting hot, so we switched
+to a 6502 overclocked at 120GHz with emulated liquid helium coolant,
+and ported ProgrOS to that.
+
+That seems to work pretty well with many of the modern browsers
+(Chrome, Firefox, Safari). At the moment Opera seems to work just
+okay, and Internet Explorer has some real problems. (But if you're
+running IE, you're on Windows, and so just download the game!) Things
+aren't as good as they could be on touchscreen devices such as the
+iPad yet either.
+
+This edition of the game is only single player - the saves exist only
+on your local machine, and there is no Hall of Fame yet. If anyone
+cares, that will come later.
