Using the latest Chrome dev (20.0.1123.1 dev, OSX 10.7.3), I've been stuck on a black screen for the past 15 minutes. I do see the number of FPS and there are some x/y/z values which change in the top right when I press the arrows on my keyboard. Rendering issue ?

It worked for me after I clicked the screen, not sure why.
It's GTA1/2 rather than GTA3, if anyone was curious. Still cool, but slightly less impressive.
Chrome on OS X 10.6.8, worked with no issues after giving it a minute or two.
Exactly the same on Firefox 12 and Chromium 18.
It loaded for me after a while. Ran around a bit. It's a cute demo / experiment.
The loading time could be significantly lowered if the files would be converted into a more accessible format for JavaScript. Especially the sprites/textures, if they would pre-processed into PNG's or something more understandable by javascript, the loading time could already be dropped by a second or two.
Works fine here, FF15 on Ubuntu w/NVidia, 60fps.
What kind of graphics card you got?
