More specifically, the 2001 and 2002 Sega games, Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2, can now be played for free via a web browser. A solo developer who goes by Twilight has specifically ported the pair of games to a website, where they can be accessed for free. And according to those who have played them, the web browser ports are very good, though, as you will notice in the video below, the characters are missing, which does reduce some of the nostalgia factor of each game.

It remains to be seen if Sega will go after this project. Given the existence of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, it probably will. Some companies aren’t as protective of their IP, but Japanese game makers tend to be, and Sega is no exception.
