Fun free games for the PC
 

Post a link to a fun free game in this thread. It can be a full version or just a trial.

I recently found Peggle. It's pretty fun -- you can kill a couple of hours playing the free trial, though I'm not sure I would buy it.

I got a lot of fun out of ADOM, a roguelike roleplaying game. Very, very ornate; one thing I like about it compared to a bunch of others is that you can carry around absurdly huge inventories, so you can stockpile all kinds of items that have only very specific uses. If you can find it at the webpage, I'd try and hunt down version 1.0.0, or whatever it was. 1.1 was a change for the worse, and that was a few years ago. I haven't played any since.

I found the old versions here. I don't see 1.0 for Mac, though.

Re: Fun free games for the PC
 

I just found a free game called enemy nations.

You can download a free copy here (I think it may also be hosted on filefront): (306 MB) download.

The support forum is: support forum.

A description of the game (excerpt from hotu which also links to a download pdf manual):


Enemy Nations is one of the best and most sophisticated real-time strategy games ever made. It's also a game you've probably never played, because its slated publisher went out of business shortly after the game's release, forcing developer Windward Studios to sell the game exclusively from its website. If you ever hoped you could have more resources and do research in Red Alert, or that you could control your soldiers more directly and have a simpler economy in Settlers, then Enemy Nations, as a game sitting squarely between the two, fits the bill. It's neither a simple action strategy game, nor is it a straightforward god game with token battle elements. Rather, it's an isometric strategy game which takes influences from half a dozen existing games and tries to blend them into something new, and in most aspects, succeeds admirably.
----------------------

My $0.02: Apparently, there are many other games of this genre like Supreme Commander, but I've never played them. This is a good free introduction to this rts strategy genre that runs nicely on today's PCs.

I've only played a HU match versus one of my buddies. It's amazing how closely it resembles Unreal Tournament.

Re: Fun free games for the PC
 

i tried it out, and it was like UT. i loved UT, but for some reason i couldnt get into this. idk what it was


i tried wolfenstein, but didn't like that to much. would be a better game when LANNing with a bunch of friends.


gonna try that RTS game

Re: Fun free games for the PC
 

i downloaded the RTS, but its saved as a RAR file (which makes it play under media player, which obv doesnt work) and i dont know which file to save it under. little help?

Re: Fun free games for the PC
 

You need to have a rar utility. You can use winrar (free trial) or rarzilla (free). Just type into google for more info. Also, make sure you burn all files, after using a rar utility, to a CD because of the copy protection.

This game is now released as free, but they left the copy protection in....

7-zip is free, too and can handle most compression formats.

Utopia is a massive multiplayer internet-based strategy game.

Its a turn-based, text-based strategy game. You join a kingdom with 23 or so other players and battle with other players in other kingdoms to expand your land and your worth. You train soldiers, wizards and thieves, and build various buildings to improve and grow your province.

Turns are taken once an hour (building, training, research etc), but you can attack/steal/etc anytime. You really only need to devote a few minutes at a time to the game to participate, thanks to the turn structure.

Wikipedia Entry

One thing to note, a game cycle lasts 3 or 4 months (an 'Age'), and then all kingdoms are wiped and everyone starts back from square one. This next such 'Age' starts like next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Re: Fun free games for the PC
 

does anyone remember a game that was somewhat like a paintball simulator back in the day, i think it was called PB Term or something?

web page

theres the download for it, looks like it was back in 1998ish? It was a really fun game, it looks like it has long since died out though
