- Spizzat2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Be wary of Trackmania Nation. I believe that's the one with the Starforce program that breaks Dameon tools as a means of copy protection (yes, for a free game).
"TrackMania uses a controversial copy protection / anti-reverse engineering system called StarForce, which silently installs with all TrackMania games including the free TrackMania Nations. Problems including CD-ROM drive slowness and computer crashes have been linked to StarForce, leading to vehement discussions, which also appear in the TrackMania community"

Still is. - solidsmoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7A good free game list that doesn't include "Cave Story"? Tsk tsk. (Google it!)
- kaffein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6We've had a lot of free game lists in the past, and its pretty safe to say that this is not the "Ultimate"...
- consonance, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6StarForce doesn't break Daemon Tools.
- gosix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hmm, no BZFlag?
- utch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Tribes is defiantly the best - more info here - http://www.computer-savy.com/utch/?page_id=10
- triforcer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3agreed, ultimate list my ass.
- nefty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3All I can say is: Shazbot!
Seriously though, I can say (without hyperbole) that Tribes 1 was the greatest multiplayer FPS ever. - consonance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Sube6491, assuming you are using Windows XP
To erase StarForce:
1. Enter the Start menu.
2. Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties."
3. Go to the tab that says "Hardware" and click the button that says "Device Manager."
4. Open the "View" menu, click "Show hidden devices."
5. Find the drop-down menu that says "Non-Plug and Play Drivers."
6. Select the drivers that have "StarForce" in the names and click "Uninstall" in the toolbar.
7. Reboot. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Damnit, you beat me to it, I love this game, but as soon as I found out it had starforce, and a free game at that, I reformatted my HDD and reinstalled windows and warned everyone of this plague whenever possible
- Sube6491, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Is there anyway to find the file and erase starforce?
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2To those space-sim fans, try out Freespace 2
The game was made around 1998, and Interplay almost went bankrupt, and its open-source now. The graphics look awesome
Screens with the updated code which is avaible at http://www.hard-light.net

It is a pretty amazing work of art, and its free. Even the EULA says it can be freely distributed, and Volition released the Source Code around 2002, allowing updated Physics and Graphics. It runs better on OpenGL than DX, so if you dont like MS, you dont need to use DX.
Its avaible for Windows and Linux, and a Mac version was in beta last I checked (2 months) - TimDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2they claim the zelda classic is made by nintendo, but nowhere on the zeldaclassic site did they indicate legitimacy
- kaffein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh but of course...
Tribes Legacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2et3cKlSSk - pauleric, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2One of my favorite games of all time (ok, old graphics and various other problems, but gameplay is lots of fun), has been open sourced for a couple of years, warzone2100
http://warzone2100.sourceforge.net/ - MoneyRussell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wing Commander Privateer! That game ruled. I remember it was the first game I played with my new SoundBlaster Pro card. It had a long intro with speech.
"Who are you that flies so good?!? Are you insane?!?" - wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Don't hold your breath. Better use an emulator instead.

- 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2www.warsow.net for all those DM players out there.
- wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As far as I can tell, that Babylon5 game is just vaporware.
- jerseyboy91, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thanks. I like this one a lot because of the screenshots on the side of the description.
- listrophy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2mmm... abuse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse_(computer_game)
I had no idea there was a linux version and an os x port. well, hot damn! - AlexMax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2YES! Warsow rocks! The best hope for a free modern sucessor to Quake 3.
Also, Continuum rules too, think 56k-friendly multiplayer asteroids
http://www.getcontinuum.com/ - OropheR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Too many games in a list is not obviously good. I have spent this year screening and screening game listings:abandonwares, freewares, indygame, mmog. But to get a game with only free good games is the hardest thing to realise.
www.robocrow.com is working on that... I am not there yet, but one of those day, you will find there the "perfect free games dream list" with good games you know, and some you wont know.
NB: www.robocrow.com is migrating from Drupal to Joomla this week. So if you see the site down, do not worry. - qster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Trackmania nations is awesome, never had a problem with Starforce myself... but then I don't burn iso's I just mount them ;)
- Asidic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What are you people talking about? Cave Story is right in the "Action" section!
- SocialPoison, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1missed Soldat...
- saturninus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What about Syndicate?
- avel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Best free racing simulator: Live for Speed S2 Alpha, Demo version
http://www.liveforspeed.net
The demo has fully functional multiplayer gaming and looks awesome.
And the full version (S2 licence) is worth every penny! - DNABeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Roketz
http://www.bluemoon.ee/history/roketz/index.html - Earthacis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow I used to play Betrayal At Krondor like non stop when I was young I loved that game! Love the Raymond E Fiest Books too.
KUDOS! - Bigbro69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Have to add Savage: The Battle For Newerth
http://www.s2games.com/savage/index.php?page=savageindex
Free RTS/FPS type of game. - Archarios, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Old news
- jerseyboy91, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Anyone else know of another good free games list?
- macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Uh Nexuiz!?!? HELLO?
This list skips on some major good games. - DiamondIce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1To bad the master servers aren't alive any more; Tribes taught me how to snipe.
- bug20k1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I see Mono on the list - Where's AIDS and STD?
- jnark32, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I must say, ultimage digg for this for reminding me how entertaining space quest is. Like the generation of adventure games before monkey island etc. Lovin it.
- DDark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Much love for Tribes. Here's a link to the full download + hudbot to make it look better: http://monkeymolestor.com/tribes/tribes.html

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wsw, aka "almost as good as cpma" :P
- meitianweb, on 10/30/2007, -0/+0here is a free online game list site http://play-free-online-game.co.uk/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Seen this on digg already. Here is a more fleshed out list.
http://www.simsarchive.jumbahost.com/freegames3.php - ksuburke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't see the Marathon trilogy :-(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5nice resource....and Bit-torrent isn't always the quickest solution.
- DM01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I've seen more of these "ULTIMATE FREE GAMES LISTS" than I want to see, they list the same games over and over and over and over.....
It's missing a lot of good free games you can get elsewhere also. - kaffein, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0http://www.duggmirror.com
- MrTea, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Dead.
