Suggestions for Multiplayer Browser Games (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Looking to play some games with a friend who has a really trash laptop. Browser games seem like the only way of doing that. If any of you all have suggestions let me know. Could be any genre (except maybe puzzle games?), as long as it is multiplayer in some way. I think they like cute games but it doesn't actually matter. ideally doesnt require making an account to play (but if it is good enough I might). If you have any ideas, post it in the comments.

Have you considered retro-gaming? If the laptop isn't much older than 20 years it should probably manage to run dosbox, and with it you can get a ton of old IPX multiplayer titles running, for instance Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, Transport Tycoon, or Command and Conquer: Red Alert.

(Transport Tycoon also has an open source remake, OpenTTD, that can run on a potato. OpenTTD also runs in a browser, but afaik the browser-version is limited to single-player.)

Edit: Of course there is another thing about dosbox: Back then hot-seat or split-screen multiplayer was much more common, so this might also be an option.
