Making Mario 2 - Let's animate!

Making Mario - Creating a pixel rendering scheme with CSS and JQuery

I decided to try a fun thought experiment. With the advent of HTML 5 and technologies like canvas and OpenGL, browser based video games are going to become more prevalent. However, what if you want to do a browser based video game without HTML 5 technologies? What about the poor unfortunate souls who are stuck on IE 7? (Feel free to insert tsk tsk sounds here).

Is it possible? Is it easy? Let's find out!
