Do you think anyone will write a web-based version of Worms? Multiplayer, in the browser. It seems like it would be hugely popular.
You could even turn websites themselves into arenas to battle in. :) Imagine blowing up a hacker news comment.

I built just the basic skeleton of a game engine, and stupidly handed over the code to the client before they paid me. They went on to find another contractor to dupe and turned it into a game called "Fat Super Heroes" which was online for a while on some sleazy website where you could gamble real money on the outcome of the game.
The original (horrible, terrible, hacky) engine I wrote is here:

I don't think it ever got much real popularity; I was not a fan of the theme and the second contractor added a bunch of bloat that made it load slowly, etc. But it was quite a fun learning experience.
I'll have to make Worms-as-a-Service, to keep up.
