official lists for freeware games

i'm not really a hard core gamer and so i don't spend my money buying games but i want to relax sometimes and play some games ocassionaly. That said, i'm asking members of this forum to give me some freeware games. Any kind of game will do (mind games etc...).

Thanks!

 

Well, they aren't the greatest games in the world, but they're fun little games. Go to cartoonnetwork.com and adultswim.com and surf around to find the games section. I have played "Iron and Flame" and "Breakfight" a few times over, as well as the InuYasha turn-based game.

 

Check http://www.liberatedgames.com/ for a few ideas.

 

Check out Home of the Underdogs and gamebird.dk

 

Hey this is a great thread~!

I never thought about thirdparty FREE games based off of best seller mainstream games.

Thanks guys~!

 

Indeed a cool idea for a thread!

I don't play a lot either these days but even when I was younger I had no need to buy them because there are so many former 'freewared' versions of popular games out there:

Here are some I still have on my machine:

Adventure:

Star Control 2 :
http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Strategy:

Steel Panthers (and other's in the WoW series) :
http://www.steelpanthersonline.com

Battle Island 2 (Advanced Stratetig Command) :
http://www.asc-hq.org/

Action:

Star Wars / X-Wing (Battle of Yavin, Battle of Endor)
http://www.bruneras.com/


hmm...

have to think of some more...

Thanks guys! i'm trying some of it now!

 

www.dosgames.com has lots of good freeware games on it. Not many XP machines can play dos games tho..

My laptop runs dos games fine tho

 

Two GREAT game sites:
www.addictinggames.com
www.miniclip.com

i love www.mofunzone.com

also, there are many emulators (ONLY if you own the real game..) to download, provided that you can find them.

pb,out.

 

a good one, continuum. Its like a an asteroids game with multiple online players.

go to www.trenchwars.org for more info or to download. REALLY FUN

 

5 Days A Stranger
Ignore the old-skool graphics. Its a throwback to the classic adventure games. Short, but sweet. Some head scratching going on! If you like it, try to complete the others in the John DeFoe series... but warning they get more difficult seemingly

Chick Chick Boom
I posted this in TRT over in off-topic and seems to be getting love, so here you go!

For the geekier gamer (It's a compliment m'kay?)

Desktop Tower Defense. Really, really good fun

Boomshine. Music is a little... but its different

Beyond the Red Line. Fan-made conversion of Freespace 2 (for those who remember it!)

Impossible game. Seriously, if you get 1min, you have my congratulations and respect

 

There's also America's Army...I think it's still free...

Actually it had very good graphics and was a decent install, like for pay games.

BUT, there is a really addictive game in Online Boggle. I have lost many hours playing this

Narbacular Drop is the game the spiritual predecessor to the upcoming Valve game, Portal.

 

Battle for Wesnoth is a great, free fantasy TBS.

www.wesnoth.org

 

gamehippo.com

Great site, with many freeware games. Some are actually pretty decent, and most you can play with any graphic cards .

 

http://www.abandonia.com
Almost 1000 games some free, some not, but lots of great classic games.

 

If you want something more up to date you can try some free online games like Gunz, a 3d online shooter [ http://www.gunzonline.com], Rakion, Fantasy action MMO, or my favorite, Albatross18, anime-ish online golf game [ http://albatross18.com/season2/]
All free and weekly updated.

 

Don't know if you're into RPG's (I'm not) but I was on cnet today and saw this:

http://www.download.com/Rating-the-free-MMORPGs/1200-2012_4-5172100.html?tag=bubbl_4

Rates the free MMORPG's.

 

I recently ran across this strange "game" called Souptoys. Actually it's not a game even though you can "play" with it. Just try it and you understand what I mean. A little warning though: Don't be surprised if you find yourself spending hour or two into it and feeling like you were under 5 years old again.

 

If you like strategie games you will love this free game:

http://spring.clan-sy.com/download.php

It's a remake of total annihilation in 3d.

 

Trackmania nations - time trial racing game with great graphics and its free. I second Addictinggames.com and i also recommend ugoplayer.com

 

Maybe a kind mod will sort my posts into one neat posting... or not

US Air Force Fighter pilots apparently meant to get over 2 min! Though that is more unverified internet goodness
