Well I am making this thread for posting links of legal freeware Games available on Net. It is diificult to found such free games. Size no limit.

:arrow: Rules to be followed:

Post as many links as u can [ with game name and little description ] Links should be verified and proper.

No Spamming allowed.

Games should be legal and freeware / Open Source.

Browser based Flash games are allowed.

Don't post direct download links - instead use publisher's web page.

Try to post the size of game also. It will be useful.

This NOT a game discussion thread - so don't ask how good a or bad a game is [ or start a long discussion on a title ] - If you like the name / description / Screenshots just try it out to know for yourself


My Contribution

Little Fighter 2 v1.9

They are both shareware (Not free). However, the original Dx Ball is free. I have posted links to free games many times before, but maybe nobody reads them or plays them. Anyways, here goes again.

Dx Ball:
*www.magicwandsoft.com/games/dxball/download.html

Choren68k:
This an incredible space shooter. It hard, and the very best ever made.
*www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~yosshin/
If you find it hard, you can find demos on this website. These demos can be autoplayed with Choren68.
*www.kit.hi-ho.ne.jp/zapzap/choren.htm

Abuse:
Probably the best sidescoller on pc:

Hi Navjot,

I appreciate the effort you are making, but let us just post the best freeware here. Anyway, since you posted some chess software, here is more: ;)

My (freeware) chess program Natwarlal:
*www.ironcode.com/chess-game.html
Download link:
*www.ironcode.com/data/nat_setup.exe

It is a master strength chess program. It can be used with arena also. It is a winboard engine.

Arena is a very good freeware chess GUI:
*www.playwitharena.com

SCID is a good freeware chess database:
*scid.sourceforge.net/

Super Strong chess programs (Use them with Arena) They are all UCI engines. Note again: UCI engines.

Toga:
*www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/TogaII/togaii.html
Pro Deo
*members.home.nl/matador/prodeo.htm
Aristarch and List (2 engines here)
*www.zipproth.com/chess
Spike:
*spike.lazypics.de/index.html

However, you don't need to download these engines to get your butt kicked. Natwarlal can do that with ease ;) These engines are very, very strong and don't bother playing against them unless you are a GM strength player.

Enjoy!

See the thing is that one cannot go through dozens of freewares to select the best but I will try my best to review some of the freeware games and post the best out of them.

Thanx for the support.

I agree, that you cannot go through all the freeware software. And that is why I have posted only those which I know to be good. I have tried a lot of games and I have posted only which I found to be the best.

This means that the user who reads this thread won't have to play through badly made games.

I know the official Ragnarok Online is not free, but there are so many free servers out there.

*www.gamesites200.com/ragnarok/

enjoy!

I visited rockstar's site and it looks like they are also offering GTA 2 and Wild Metal.
However, to get any of them they want you to sign up for thier mailing list.

Here is a new link
*www.rockstargames.com/classics

Any one who has played this game knows how addictive it is. Here is a link where you can dl it for free. Its a small file only 25K (for those of you who are on dialup)

*www.geocities.com/frankbannon/same/

*www.natural-selection.com/
Available if you have a copy of halflife 1 (cs, dod, etc)

*apexwebgaming.com/

Rather large site listing all sorts of games.

You can download GTA 1 & 2 for free. They are addictive.
*www.rockstargames.com/classics/

There is a free PSO:Blue Burst Beta out for a month...

Get it here: www.psobb.com

Also have a look at www.mume.org - online text game

www.freeciv.org

The original civilization for free (the whole game) configured to run smoothly on today's computers

for all who are paranoid about giving info to anyone here is a direct link to GT2
*63.236.94.185/classics/gta2/eula.php
I will take this off if it breaks a rule of some sort.

www.romhustler.net

It's got games and emulators for:

Thats a nice list but it missing a pretty good mmorpg thats called outwar. The site that it is found on is *www.outwar.com I play there on the fabar server. If anyone here starts playing my SN is Faxare or Drusade.

*fabar.outwar.com/page.php?x=14450

You also forgot Kal-Online, you can look it up at there site below and another below.

www.kalonline.com

www.mmorpg.com

I don't think anyone has posted this one yet:

*www.shot-online.com/

It's a MMO Golf Game. It's free to play to level 10, but you'll have to pay if you want to get higher (your don't have to), there are other benefits to paying as well. I havn't played it, but I hear it's alot of fun.

Is this you are talking about: *www.caesariv.com/uk/downloads/caesar_i.php

If you download the game and get it installed, don't expect a great deal. The game is very crude by current graphic standards.

It's a small download, about 800Kb.

They are all unofficial modifications of LF2 since the LF2 developers stopped working on LF2 so others started making modifications of it!

*www.nisnevich.com/pse/mycreations/little_fighters_25.htm

Is the link to modded LF2 named as LF2.5!

LF2 developers came out with Little Fighter Online Game...Its all in Chinese and no English support is to be seen! We are waiting for English versions to be released!

And this time its a commercial game than a freeware one and download would be 1.2GB!!!

Info is here at *www.littlefighteronline.com/

All direct download links to LFO are illegal and don't use them because you can never understand it...all chinese and getting a account to play is difficult!

Wait for English versions and be prepared...it would be a paid Game!

More info: *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fighter_Online
Also try a google search for Little Figher Online for some info and links if you need!

Great post!!

My contri-
Google for 'abandonware' . This should get you pleeenty of results.
the great thing about abandonware sites is that they archive games that aren't available from anywhere, including from the publisher of the game. So if you can't find any old game, check of abandonware sites.

It's old - granted but only a 6 page thread anyway so it's not a overloaded thread for which we need to have a new thread and there's not lots of free / OSS game threads we have in TDF nor there's lots of free / OSS games have been shared so it still has vast importance.

I thinking of bending the rules a little - there's lots of games for which there's no seller available anymore [ mostly old rom / emulator games ] but they can be found for free and for some they are just as good as sweet memories ;)

Will this game run on this configuration is going to be renamed to Game System Requirement Thread where we will post the requirements of newly released games and as a gaming backlog / diary most of us gamers do post in the Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report! thread so there's no need for make it a sticky thread as it will be always on the front page for sure ;)
