Main article: Browser game
As the World Wide Web developed and browsers became more sophisticated,
people started creating browser games that used a web browser as a client.
Simple single player games were made that could be played using a web
browser via HTML and HTML scripting technologies (most commonly JavaScript,
ASP, PHP and MySQL). More complicated games such as Legend of Empires or
AQWorlds would contact a web server to allow a multiplayer gaming environment.
The development of web-based graphics technologies such as Flash and Java
allowed browser games to become more complex. These games, also known by their
related technology as "Flash games" or "Java games", became increasingly
popular. Many games originally released in the 1980s, such as Pac-Man and
Frogger, were recreated as games played using the Flash plugin on a webpage.
Most browser games had limited multiplayer play, often being single player
games with a high score list shared amongst all players. This has changed
considerably in recent years as examples like Castle of Heroes or Canaan
Online show.
