Not really other then text based stuff. Flash is the only thing that comes to mind, but that's super hard to do.

Gilbot had a CSS based game online for a while. But there are a lot of limits.

Firefox has some bitmap drawing functionalities for HTML... But I hear they're very hard to fiddle with. So far, all that's been made is a simple 3D maze.

I'd stick with AGS if I were you.. Or learn Flash.

Are you looking for something like this (http://www.gmacwill.com/lassie/index.shtml), perhaps?

i've given LASSIE a try and i'm impressed, it doesn't have a large script base like AGS but its early days for the project
games need compiling with Macromedia Director to play on the net, but a new LASSIE is on the cards to create a SWF file


LASSIE (http://www.gmacwill.com/lassie/index.shtml)
my first game (http://www.rottengames.co.uk/uploads/escape1b.zip) just to see if i could use it! its aÃ,  simple, short game, bit buggy(self inflicted!) this isn't the final version

this post isn't a blatant plug for my game or lassie, i'm following up on what people suggestedÃ,  ;)

IndyJava would be great as long as you're willing to use something that hasn't been supported or updated in the last 7 years, and is unfinished :P
