Freeware games

[mmsven]

This thread is devoted to freeware games. If you know of or find any good ones, post them here, but PLEASE GOD NO MMO'S. Here are some ones I found myself.

Retail:

Ground Control - An excellent RTS.
http://www.fileplanet.com/156136/150000 ... (Free-Game)

Grand Theft Auto 1, 2 - These have been released for free and updated to run on XP.
http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/

Command & Conquer Gold, Red Alert - These haven't updated at all, and force you to burn or mount the disk images, so you may as well have downloaded them illegally. This way is legal atleast.

Non-retail:

I Wanna Be The Guy - Masochists will love how this game rips their balls off.
http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/

Trackmania Nations (Forever) - You race in cars... IN THE SKY!
http://www.trackmania.com/tm/index.php?rub=nations

Narbacular Drop - Portal's father.
https://www.digipen.edu/fileadmin/websi ... cularDrop/

Toribash - A crazy physics-based fighting game where you determine every body joint's movement. I'll see you online.
http://www.toribash.com/

Stepmania - DDR + custom songs + online.
http://www.stepmania.com/

Temporal - An excellent Braid-like platforming puzzle game.
http://www.potato-factory.com/temporal/

Closure - Another excellent platforming puzzle game.

Legend of Princess - It's like Zelda if Zelda games were 2D platformers with a lot more emphasis on combat.
http://www.konjak.org/section.php?section=princess

Hurrican - A remake of Turrican, seems awesome.
http://turrican.gamevoice.de/hurrican_site/

Battle for Wesnoth - A good turn-based strategy game.
http://www.wesnoth.org/

Eversion - Awesome, original platformer with an old-school look.
http://zarat.us/tra/offline-games/eversion.html

Chalk - Another Konjak game, where your mouse is your weapon. Sorta shmup-ish.
http://www.konjak.org/section.php?section=chalk

Penumbra - They are calling it a tech demo now, but it's still awesome. I also recommend picking up the commercial games.

Frets on Fire! (someone had to say it)

Ancient Domains Of Mystery - an excellent roguelike RPG

It'll take a while to browse through each of these lists, but most of these games are worth it.

Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst.

The official servers have gone down, but a free private server as well as the official download for the client are both still up at the above link.

Neverball

This is a Super Monkey Ball clone, but it seems development has slowed.

[gebbss]

Armadillo Run is a pretty fun game. Addictive and fun - IF you don't stumble on a near impossible level.

What happened to my open-source and free gaming topic?

[anthman852]

mmsven deleted it so he could make his own :p

mmsven deleted it so he could make his own :p

Yeah, mmsvens will do that to you, that's why you should spray your topics with "Raid", "Pam" or "Eau de Toilete"

[blazingamer]

No, it still exists, it's just not that active.

[Scutch-Nukem]

No, it still exists, it's just not that active.

The joke

Your head

Just out of reach, ain't it?

Also, I played Temporal.

Awesome game, hard as hell at points but awesome, I highly recommend it, it even has a good sense of humor.

[JanZuKa]

Trackmania nations forever is really good, thank you for this

[Kotti]

Needs more ragdolls: http://jet.ro/dismount/

Stair Dismount
Truck Dismount

And a game every Finnish person must play at least once in a lifetime:
Areena 5

Legend of Princess... best freeware game I've ever played besides Cave Story, WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE ON THE LIST HINT HINT

Great games so far :)

This thread is pretty damn pontless. There's already a more-or-less complete list of Indie/freeware games. Go there. There are some awesome games there.
