Not quite; it generated the "picture" on the fly and streamed the content to the client. Ganis, etc were shrunk and orientated on the correct x/y of the generated canvas (picture) to give the appearance of active gameplay.

More of a novelty than anything else, I'm surprised there's still interest in it.
