Formula One Game
Written for Computer Associates, one of the main sponsors of the MacLaren Mercedes F1 team, this shows some of the things you can do with dynamic HTML on different browsers.
It's a game with fairly entertaining functionality and playability, and a nice front-end to a web competition (in this case to win tickets to the British Grands Prix). Click on the pic to launch the game.

Fact Pie Invaders
This has got to be the most arcane and silly index of links on the entire web. Before you can access one of the ridiculous Fact Pies, you have to shoot down a Fact Pie Invader
The game plays much like the classic Space Invaders, and works as a standalone game as well as a stupid way to access content.
