LAST UPDATED: September 12, 2007

THE LIST IS NOW SPLIT UP INTO THREE PARTS, SORRY! THE LINK TO PARTS TWO AND THREE ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST

No, this isn't a copy of my freeware list. This is a much smaller list of games that I think that you should seriously play rather than a comprehensive list of them. Anyway, uhhh... enjoy!

Cave Story



Cave Story is an amazing old-school side-scrolling adventure that is reminiscent of games like Castlevania or Metroid. Created by some Japanese guy who calls himself Pixel over the course of four years, his hard work and creativity has come together to create a game of utmost quality. I'm not just speaking for myself here, this game has quite a cult following. As far as I know, this is the only freeware game that has spawned it's own high-quality music remix project.

If you're into old-school games at all, you should download this game. If you're not, you should download it anyway.

The game doesn't really have an official site so the only places it can be downloaded are third-party sites. I recommend the following because it already has the english patch installed. Oh, and having a gamepad wouldn't hurt, but I've beaten the game on a keyboard so it's not impossible.

Frets on Fire



If you own Guitar Hero, you can probably pass on this one. Frets on Fire is an very unique and entertaining Guitar Hero clone for PC. To play, you actually hold the keyboard like the guy in the image above. Or if you have a Guitar Hero guitar and a PS2/USB adapter you can hook it up to play. While the game only comes with 3 songs, there's plenty of custom songs that you can download. Sadly, the quality of play you'll get out of each custom song varies heavily. You can also take one of your favorite songs and put in your own frets if you'd like.

But yeah, if you're looking for something fresh as far as PC games go, you should definitely give this game a download!

Trackmania Nations



Racing doesn't really get too much more off the wall than Trackmania Nations. Trackmania Nations is really just about anything but your standard racing game. Break-neck speeds, huge jumps, loops, wall-riding... Yeah, I think you get the point, it's crazy! One of the odd things, however, is that in online play you don't collide with other cars. I know why they did this, but it would be nice to at least have it as an option.

Racing game fan or not, this game is likely to please. Also, it comes with a track editor so that sends the replayablity through the roof!

Within a Deep Forest



Within a Deep Forest is a Metroid style game with a unique twist... You play as a ball that can only bounce. No attack, not nothin'. Just bouncing. Surprisingly, it's actually really good! You use your amazing bouncing powers to explore the world and collect different ball materials to get into more areas and so on and so forth. Also, the game has some really neat music that will immerse you into the game. It's all electronic but it gives the game a really nice atmosphere.

If you're looking for a challenge, you've found the right game.

The Ur-Quan Masters/Star Control II



So anyway, The Ur-Quan Masters is a mixed-genre space adventure (originally released retail in 1994) that many (including myself) claim to be one of the greatest games of all time. You're the captian of a potentially powerful spaceship and it's up to you to free Earth and the universe from the grasps of an evil, catipiller-like race called the Ur-Quan. To do so you will need to do many things, including: Talk with many interesting alien races to get them to join your ranks, slaughter those who refuse, collect minerals to build more ships or upgrade your flagship, and rely on information you get from aliens to complete tasks and solve puzzles.

All and all, Star Control II is an excellent, lengthy game that has a great story and over 20 different ships to fly in combat, each different in almost every way.

Toribash has gone shareware and has thus been removed

N



While being one of the most frustrating and mind-blowingly difficult games that I've ever played in my entire life, N still manages to be very likable. You control an agile, yet pacifistic ninja (WHAT KIND OF OXYMORON IS THIS???) whose life goal is to collect gold and, well... live to get to the next level. There are more ways to die in N than there is atoms in the galaxy. Now, if I wasn't just clear - you're going to die a lot, but it's quite a good feeling when you actually manage to beat a level.

N is worth a download. However, after a while you won't be able to play anymore because you lit your keyboard on fire due to frustration. I recommend you have some music playing in the backround or else the silence will get on your nerves.

The game also has a built level editor, but I forgot how you unlock it. Look on the N forums or something.

Soldat



I had a game just in Soldat in my head for many years and when I finally discovered that such a game existed, it was hard to hold in my excitement. Soldat is an online deathmatch game that's like a mix of Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, and Contra. You would think you would be fairly limited in movement in a 2D game, and you would be right were it not for jetpacks. Shootin' bitches up AND flying?! Does it get any better? Yes! Shootin' bitches while flying around with the enemy flag! There's enough variation in modes to keep you playing Soldat for a while.

The site looks kind of shoddy, but you can rest assured that the game itself is quality!

http://www.soldat.pl/main.php

F.E.A.R. Combat



What's that? You never got around to buying F.E.A.R.? Well, isn't today your lucky day?! Not all that long ago, the multiplayer portion of F.E.A.R. was released for free! While F.E.A.R. multiplayer has never been the best multiplayer around, it's far from the worst. Fatal clost combat moves, intense gunfights, on the fly grenades, a fair assortment of maps and weapons, and mind-blowing graphics make the game one of the best free online shooters available. If you already own F.E.A.R. already, however, there's nothing new to see here.

http://www.joinfear.com/main

GeneRally



Does anyone remember classics like Super Sprint, Micro Machines, or RC Pro-AM? ... No? Uhh, well okay. In GeneRally you control a little car from a bird's eye view and, obviously, your goal is to get the best time or beat the other little cars. The game is more challenging than other games of the sort because your car actually takes damage when it crashes. When you ram yourself right into a tree, you better hope your not too far from the pit stop because that's the only place that's going to fix you up. There's plenty of different vehicles to choose from and it even comes with a track editor so you can make the race track of your dreams!

If you have fond memories of the games above, this is at least bound to keep you entertained for an after-noon or so. If not, it might. :)

Neverball



If you've played Super Monkey Ball or Marble Madness, you know what you're getting into. If you haven't, you don't know what you're getting into. Basically, you try to get your ball to the goal by tilting the playfield. Sounds easy, right? Well, it really isn't, I'm afraid to say. There's plenty of things out there that can cause your innocent little ball to fall of a ledge. Games like this can get really challenging, but for some reason you won't stop playing!

I can really only see someone getting a whole lot of satisfaction out of this game if they have a joystick. Controlling with the mouse seems a little bit troublesome, but I only tried using it for about a couple of seconds so I don't know. I'd also like to let you know that the production value here is spectacular!

http://www.icculus.org/neverball/

Penumbra



One thing I can't believe is that there are people out there who think Resident Evil 4 is scary. Apparently they've never played games like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, or Penumbra. Penumbra is not your standard survival horror game. It's all about puzzle solving since you don't actually get a gun. That's not to say there aren't monsters though. The game has some pretty kickin' graphics for a freeware game which certainly adds to the horror.

Are you man or woman enough to play? Of course you are!

http://frictionalgames.com/?q=penumbra

Little Fighter 2



Little Fighter 2 has a couple different modes and I'm not really sure which one is supposed to be the main one. My personal favorite mode is the one that plays like Streets of Rage or Final Fight. The game throws generic enemies your way and it's your job to beat the everloving snot out of each and every single one of them. Then there's the mode where you fight characters that are just as powerful as you are. Each character is fairly different and has a couple different special attacks which you need to look up how to do on the main website. It's also possible to play online so you can knock the stuffing out of some dudes you totally don't know!

Grand Theft Auto 2



If you call yourself a gamer, you know about the GTA series. If you're not a gamer, you probably know about the GTA series also because of all of the controversy. You play as some random thug who is dropped into a large open-ended world to do as you please. Complete missions that you get from different gangs, reek havok on the hapless citizens of the city, or just drive around... whateva. In my opinion, GTA 2 has held up rather well over the years even though the series has been 3D-ified for a while.

http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/index.html

Black Shades



Black Shades is just about anything but your standard FPS game. First off, it has the blockiest graphics I've seen since the original Star Fox. Some people may be turned off by this, but I like it because it brings me back to a time when games weren't all about graphics. You're a psychic bodyguard whose goal is to protect the VIP (guy in white) by any means necessary from various kind of assasins and zombies. Even though there's almost absolutely no variation in the environment whatsoever, Black Shades somehow manages to keep things fresh by mixing up the enemies you fight and the weapons you can use.

Not only do you get a variety of weapons to protect the VIP, you also get some useful psychic powers! You have the ability to increase your thinking speed momentarily (bullet time), or you can use Soul-release to get a view of the situation.

The only problem I have here is that there's no save feature, so it's either you use the debug mode to skip levels or you start at the beginning.

Warzone: 2100



While I'm not a huge fan of RTS games, I like Warzone 2100. At the beginning of the campaign mode, you start with hardly anything besides contruction units and basic tanks. As you move throughout the map, you find artifacts that you can research that allow you to build different kinds of units. And I do mean 'build', because you construct your units yourself by connecting different parts.

If you like strategy games, you should find some fun in Warzone: 2100. Oh, and the game appears to be missing it's Cinematics.

Go to downloads and download the Warzone: 2100 source code, the game will be inside.

http://warzone2100.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/

Ground Control



Ground Control is an RTS game that's all about combat. You don't even get any workers! No resource gathering, no building contruction. Pure combat. You're probably wondering how that works and I don't blame you. Ground Control is all about using everything you've got to your advantage. Everything from the environment to the lighting in an area will have an affect on combat.

The game is extremely unique as far as RTS games go, if you're sick and tired of the run-of-the-mill RTS experience, look no further.

http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/groundcontrol/

Raging Skies



Raging Skies is a challenging and fun Shmup (Shoot-em up) where you play as some guy named Cliff Spoon who is an arrogant yet highly skilled fighter pilot and Earth's final hope against the Talon Lords. Unlike most shmups, combat takes place on an open 360 plane where you can fly anywhere. You also earn cash from every enemy you kill which you can use to buy better parts for your ship.

The game's dialouge is extremely humorous and will keep you playing, the music is pretty darn good, and the combat is fast-paced and challenging. The only problem I had was in the intro when I saw some text that wasn't aligned correctly. That's a real pet peeve of mine in freeware games. Raging Skies is certainly worth a download, if you're into shmups or not.

There's more than one game on the downloads page. You're free to try them but Raging Skies is the only one I've tried.

http://www.darthlupi.com/?page_id=4#

Crack Attack



If you've played Tetris Attack on the SNES, you'll feel right at home with Crack Attack. It's pretty much just a bare-bones version of Tetris Attack but even then it's still a damn fun puzzle game. You move blocks left and right to try make combos and whatnot. In my opinion, it's the best tetris-esque game you're going to get on the PC, even if it lacks any sound whatsoever. You have music to listen to right?

There's online play aswell, but there's no master server or anything so if you plan to play online with anyone you're going to have to kick it old-school by entering in his/her IP. If you're not planning to, there's some AI you can play against but it doesn't seem to show what they're doing.

There's not much meat here but it's an alright clone of one of the best puzzle games ever made.

http://www.aluminumangel.org/attack/

Tribes



Tribes used to be a game that was far ahead of it's time. Released in the same year as Half-Life, the game featured vehicles, huge maps, highly customizable load-outs, and jet-packs! The real downfall of the game is that it lacks almost any sort of singleplayer whatsoever besides the tutorial missions. But of course the singleplayer was never the point, it was all about the multiplayer. Now you might have some trouble locating servers with people in them, but it would be great for LAN parties!

http://www.fileplanet.com/140246/140000/fi...ribes-Full-Game

Beneath a Steel Sky



These days point-and-click adventure games are few and far between, but back then they were all the rage! In Beneath a Steel Sky, dystopian-future story revolves around a guy named Robert Foster and his snappy robotic companion, Joey. In the beginning, Robert is kidnapped and brought to Union City. He manages to escape and now he's going to have to use his smarts to make it out of this mess. The story is serious but the game's dialogue is funny and interesting.

In order to play, you're going to need to download SCUMMVM: http://www.scummvm.org/

And the game itself. I recommend you download the CD verson, which has voice overs. The sound quality is poor, but the voice acting itself isn't bad.

http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php

Gunbound



While I'm not into Gunbound anymore like I used to be, I have to admit that I used to be somewhat addicted to it. It's a team-based multiplayer semi-clone of Scorched Earth/Worms. You get to select from a variety of vehicles at the start of a round, and the one that you pick you're stuck with unless you're playing tag mode. The game also has an upgrade system, where you can buy different clothing for your avatar which looks cool/adds to your stats in some way. This portion of the game can be quite annoying because I recall these items of clothing to be really expensive.

Also, the game can be very luck dependant. The teammates that you're randomly matched up with when you play, and where you spawn can make all the difference in match.

Overall, though, Gunbound is not a bad game. Not the best, but it should keep you entertained if you're looking for some Worms action and you don't have any worms games.

http://www.softnyx.net/

Curator Defense



Curator Defense is more or less a free version of those defense games that you've probably played 1000 times before in Starcraft or Warcraft III. For those of you not in the know, the goal of these kinds of games is to build stationary defenses to prevent enemies from getting to the other side of the map. Obviously, unlike the maps in StarCraft or WarCraft II, the game is centered around this entirely, opening up more options than either of the games would probably be able to offer.

The game has a weird story though. You own a musuem and it's under attack by armies of modern art. You need to destroy the crappy modern art before it replaces the masterpieces you have hanging on your wall. Yeah...

Yeah, it's pretty fun though. The only thing it doesn't have that Starcraft or Warcraft would would be multiplayer.

http://www.davidbhowe.net/cd/main.htm

Clonk Planet



Clonk is like a mix of Worms and an RTS game. You control these little guys named Clonks who can perform a variety of tasks. You can get them to gather minerals, build structures, blow stuff up, command vehicles, etc.. There's a variety of different single-player missions to play, as well as online multiplayer. While my time with the game has been limited, I can assure this is quality stuff.

There's some other Clonk games to download there as well which, of course, you're free to try.

http://www.clonk.de/contents_en.html?/classics_en.html

Narbacular Drop



While Narbacular Drop might look like a platformer, it's actually the spiritual predecessor to Valve's upcoming Portals. Like Portals, you place down portals on any stone surface, and when you walk into one, you will come out of the other. It's a very awesome concept and it works well. It's a pretty tough game, too, which really requires you to think about how you're going to complete the level.

Narbacular Drop doesn't really have too much in terms of high-intensity action, and it's also really short (however, you can download custom levels which are also on the website), but it makes up for both of those things in total awesomeness.

http://www.nuclearmonkeysoftware.com...culardrop.html

Vantage Master Online



Turn-based strategy games along the lines of Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem are a true rarity among PC games, but luckily there's Vantage Master Online. The game is Japanese developed, so it'd be a good idea to expect some engrish. Hell, some of the game's cutscenes are in japanese... but the game's not about the story, it would seem, since it throws you right into the game.

You control a 'Master', or one who is capable of summoning monsters to do your bidding. Your goal for each mission is to kill your opponent's Master before he kills yours. Unlike most tactics RPGS, the only character that seems to level up permanently is the master. If you're into tactics games, you will definitely find fun in Vantage Master. If you're only into fast-paced action fests, then you can skip this one.

By the way, the game doesn't appear to have any sort of manual, so learning what everything does might involve some trial and error.

http://www.falcom.co.jp/vantage/index_e.html

Torus Trooper



I'm quite surprised at how few shmups there are on this list. I though I would shmup it up with Torus Trooper. You're a little ship thing and it's up to you to shoot other ship things for whatever reason. The difference from your usual shmup is that you're playing in a tube and you're moving at insane speeds.

Basically, Torus Trooper has that 'techno music + simple graphics = zen state' kinda thing going on. I'm not sure how long I'd be able to play this if it weren't for that, but in it's current state, you'll have something to do for a couple hours tops, or possibly more if you're really into this kind of thing. It's just that it can really repetitive because there doesn't seem to be that many enemy types.

But then again, shmups aren't really meant to be played for hours on end, so I guess that isn't really a problem. I would say it's worth a look!

You should mention that a stripped-down version of N can be played on the Web without a download, and that Frets on Fire requires a fairly modern system to run- my 64-meg graphics card chokes and crashes my computer when I try to run Frets.

Does Penumbra have any nudity? Because from that picture, it seems so. And, no. I'm not desperate for porn, quite the opposite infact.

While I've never actually completed the game, I'm pretty sure that's just a monster. They usually don't give monsters in games wangs.

Edit:

I have that game on my computer but I haven't had the chance to get full enjoyment out of it because nobody plays it anymore.

That's a freeking mutant. it's face is a mouth.



Porn... are you... god just don't post.

There is about 400-500 people that still play, there are two main servers, both are run by Deadly Family and just run base, so it is just normal Tribes, no modifications or anything, it's good fun

Google a game caleld seiklus, it's alot like within a deep forest,
I feel obligated also to tell you guys to add a game called Destruction desire

Here's one to add: Chex Quest




It's a Doom I total conversion made in 1996 that shipped free in boxes of Chex cereal. To sum it up, you are a piece of chex cereal, who has to kill various monsters made out of green slime using tazer-like guns. :D The Ultimate Chex Quest is basically an updated version made for the Doom Legacy engine, meaning you get OpenGL support, multiplayer deathmatch and co-op, and all that nice stuff. Yes mostly everything is sprite based, yes the textures are pretty low res, but its still a lot of fun!

I don't suppose anyone knows any fun RTS games?

Edit:

Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. Although comparable to Earth 2150 in many significant respects, it does contain aspects that are unique. These include various radar technologies, a greater focus on artillery and counter-battery technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as game play progress, as well as a different vehicle design method. It was released in 1999 for both PC and Playstation.
Warzone is an open source game which can be downloaded from FilePlanet. The source files contain a fully playable version minus the in-game movies. The game is also available from several other sources. To play online you will need version 1.10 and sign up for GameSpy Arcade. The single player game consist of three campaigns. Each campaign features a large campaign map and six or more sub-maps. As key objectives are reached on the campaign map, missions are activated on the sub-maps. These missions are very varied from hit-and-run attacks to building structures to hold territory. A complete mission guide can be found here. Edios no longer supports the Warzone 2100 but you can get answers to most of your questions at the Warzone 2100 forums.

You can get download from other places than fileplanet, have a look at the links on the site and search the various forums.

Well that penumbra game fucked up halfway through the download >.<

Awesome list, thanks Rapspat.

Wow, this kicks ass.

Can I be helpful?

Cube - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cube/
--------


Cube is the original game that started it all. Though it has been surpassed in almost every way by Cube 2, it is a game in its own right. Most importantly, it comes with over 100 (!) maps, most of which are not available in Cube 2, with extensive single and multi player content.

Sauerbraten - http://sourceforge.net/projects/sauerbraten/
--------


Sauerbraten (a.k.a. Cube 2) is a free multiplayer/singleplayer first person shooter, built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS.

Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eyecandy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine.

Battle For Wesnoth - http://www.wesnoth.org/
--------


# Build up a formidable fighting force, starting from a single leader and a small amount of gold.
# Over 200 unit types in six major factions, all with distinctive abilities, weapons and spells.
# Experienced units gain powerful new abilities as they advance.
# Several multi-player options available, including internet play.
# Scores of different custom-designed maps, and unlimited random maps.
# Hundreds of campaign scenarios available for download via a simple in-game procedure.
# 'Fog of war' feature available for a true test of generalship.
# Sophisticated mark-up language lets advanced users make their own maps, factions or campaigns.

A turn-based strategy game.

Black Shades - http://www.wolfire.com/blackshades.html
--------


In Black Shades you control a psychic bodyguard, and try to protect the VIP (dressed in white) from a horde of zombies, snipers and other assorted would-be assassins.
Unique Features:
•Infinite randomly generated city
•Rag-doll skeletal animation
•Soul release mode
•Fluid aiming system
•Stop assassins by shooting them, knocking them unconscious, disarming them, tackling the VIP out of the line of fire, or any combination of the above.
It's recomended you read the readme in the place where you downloaded the installation file. Be warned, this could get addictive.

Raging Skies - http://darthlupi.com/?page_id=4
--------


A top-down shooter. You can purchase upgrades for your ship and such, which is a great addition to any game.

Savage: The Battle for Newerth - http://www.theendlessloop.com/savage/
--------


Originally a commercial game, but underrated. Released free later.

This game is a combination of real time strategy and first person shooter games, similar to a mod for Half-Life 2 called Dystopia, and a few other games. One player plays a commander in a RTS, building a base and other things around the troops on the ground, who are controlled by individual players in first person, shooter-style. I really enjoy this game, it's another great reccomendation. Be sure to grab the patch found here.

Tribes - http://files.filefront.com/tribes+fullgame...;/fileinfo.html
--------


A multiplayer shooter at its best. This is another classic commercial game, released for free later. In fact, it got *very* good ratings from reviewing companies. A must-have.


Ground Control - http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/groundcontrol/
--------


Once again, a famous commercial game is released for free. This is a great real time strategy (RTS) game. It's got full 3D and excellent graphics. And, it's not all about base-building and resource gathering, it's about combat. Pure, and complete combat. Wonderful game, but the only download I have found is on Fileplanet, a site where you need to register, wait in a 20 minute line, and download a client for the game. But, then again, it's worth it.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - Download.ComBittorrent (Bittorrent Link)

I'm really a fan of these commercial games that were released free. Enemy Territory was originally being developed as an expansion pack for Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and the developers had finished the multiplayer part, but then they decided to scrap the game and just give it away. Turns out you don't even need the original Return To Castle Wolfenstein to play it! It's a squad-based Nazi-Vs-American World War Two shooter, and I love it.

Edit:

Fixed the weird post.

Where the hell is the download link for Trackmania Nations?

There's a black box on the main page with 'download' written in white on it. It's kinda hard to see so here's a direct link for ya:

Trackmania! fun fun.

I have a right to post. Just like everyone here.
Tell me. Prey has it. F.E.A.R. has it. Games nowadays have it. So, what's wrong with me asking?

Good games, all of the ones that I've tried there have been excellent. Your free lists are the bestest :D

F.E.A.R has what? porn? I think that a skeleton hardly counts as porn.

My god, this thread is awesome, I love free games! Although all games are free if you know where too look ;)

Oh and you people on page one talking about Tribes, Tribes 2 was free a while back too, they were handing out cd keys on file planet, I got a couple, and now I want tribes again, but I can't find the download link anymore, the original one is down, if anyone finds the link, I've got an extra key that I believe isn't being used.

America's Army! One of my favorite games.

Wow Thanks!
You've made the list even better!

You mean when alma is released? You sicko!

Alma may not have any cloths but she isn't supposed to "sexually exite" you. it's nudity and it's not to be feared. (F.E.A.Red !)


Not porn

Porn

Warning porn link contains porn

I do and I use a remote controller, with analog sticks and all.

Oh my god, Within A Deep Forest makes me want to punch a hole in my wall.
Not nearly as much as N did, though.

U.r-Quan Masters is officially the greatest space game ever. I am now hooked.
But man, that game has the funniest dialogue I've ever seen. Those Spathi aliens are just so brilliant.

Within a deep forest has some of the coolest puzzles ever. I got all but two of the balls before I left my friend's house :/

It's more like wario than metroid, though :D

Post More Games

what about wolf:et, or aa?

Wow, Within A Deep Forest is beautifully addictive and challenging.
