+<h1>Progress Quest in Your Browser</h1>
+
+<p>
+Thanks to recent advances in technology, it has been possible to port
+Progress Quest to run in your browser. You no longer need to download
+or install anything to play Progress Quest; just hit the button:
+</p>
+
+<button id="go" onclick="window.location.href='roster.html'">Play!</button>
+
+<p>
+Does that sound easy to you? Well it wasn't; 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 keep the lawyers at bay).
+
+<p>
+Unfortuantely that wan't fast enough (there was 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.
+
+<p>
+Between you, me, and that talking pony over there, this is pretty much
+beta software at this point. Browser support breakdown:
+<center>
+<table>
+<tr>
+ <th class=good>Chrome, Firefox, Safari
+ <td>Aces! Works great! (We think!)
+<tr>
+ <th class=ugly>Opera, Mobile Safari, Internet Explorer
+ <td>Some visual glitches. Should play fine.
+</table>
+</center>
+
+<p>
+This edition of the game is only single player - there is no Hall of
+Fame yet. If anyone cares, that will come later.
