The game To Boldly Go is completely run using HTML. The turn sheets are sent
by e-mail, which is okay if you've got an e-mail client that supports HTML
mail, and they're also put on the web, so basically anyone on any system can
play the game. Details are at
http://www.angelfire.com/biz/JeremyMaiden/index.html and it's probably worth
checking out. I want to find more games like it.
