Somewhat related, but you can also play CS 1.6 in your browser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23497236

The site itself seems to currently down but I was using just a few weeks ago. I found that port pretty impressive because multiplayer also works and still had lots of active players! (though ctrl-w for crouch and move forward doesn't, so I can't say it was a seamless experience)

There's also Doom 3 on the browser: https://wasm.continuation-labs.com/d3demo/

This is what i was reminded of, but didn't remember the URL.

Sadly main reason i was reminded of it is because the Doom 3 one seems to have better responsiveness for mouselook - the HL version feels a bit too laggy.

(though even the D3 version has a tiny amount of lag which i do not remember when i tried it a couple of years ago - perhaps changes in the browser are to blame)

On Firefox, Ctrl+W is only unfortunate if you press Ctrl THEN W, holding W and pressing Ctrl afterwards is fine.
