The ProtoRPG engine aims to be "something between Ultima V and Ultima VI" and I think it's already well on its way there. In the demo game you can walk around the world, talk to different people and if you go downstairs you get to fight some rather big rats. Nice job, I hope some cool games come out of this endeavour.

There are several pages on the website dealing with development of games using ProtoRPG, so if you've ever wanted to make your own roleplaying game, here's your head start.

The game relies heavily on the Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries (the reason for the name ProtoRPG, I presume).

Noah Hayes decided to recreate the old Pong, but instead of making it the usual game of trying to out-pong your opponent, you must now try to do the exact opposite and keep the ball from going past your team mate. Nice touch on an old game, implemented through good old DHTML with a touch of Prototype and Scriptaculous.
