Matt named pretty much your best bets... Not many out there for other genres. Even Pirates of the Caribbean requires a download. The less the download time, the better. Browser-based games run on Java, Flash (or Shockwave,) and even Gameguard. All requiring a lil wait for downloading the application. Looking for an addictive RPG to accomidate your library, computer lab, or study hall fix? Runescape is probably your best bet. Remember... What happens in Runescape, stays in Runescape. Never mention it upon the message boards of other MMOs, you'll get heavily flamed (bring the smores.) Alas, this poor man's World of Warcraft does pack a punch with it's newer graphics and sound bites. The Hi-Def version does require a lil longer for load-time.
TELNET: Remember this age-old interfacing system? Its how the net was born. MU*s are the older version of MMOs, and they're still out there. MU* is short for many different names. MUSH is a Multi-User Shared Hallucination, while MUX is a Multi-User eXperience. These various versions of the same thing is a text-based RPG, capabale of being used by TELNET interface. Most users will attest utilizing a Mu* Client, such as SimpleMU and Pueblo. These games cover an unlimited range of genres. Although City of Heroes and World of Warcraft stole many members of these classics, they still somewhat thrive. Cosmic Muffin Mux, AnimeMuck, and Heroes Unlimited Mux are a few I frequented. I know they'll be glad to see a new face, get new ideas, and roleplay the heck outta you. :D
