Anyone would like to play free PC games? Of course, all of
us want those free games – if you like to play the old-school games as well,
why not go and play it. And a few newer ones are still available over the years
to play with. Check this out!
Games like Richard Garriot's pre-Ultima RPG Akalabeth
(1979). Revolution Software's Beneath
a Steel Sky (1994). The original Command & Conquer Red Alert (1996). SSI's Dark
Sun: Shattered Lands (1993). David Braben and Ian Bell's Elite
(1991). Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 2 (1999). Sierra's Tribes 2
(2001). Even S2 Games's just-last-January Savage
2 (2008).
Have a look. There's Abe
Lincoln Must Die! (2007), the fourth in the recently released gonzo Sam & Max
series -- obviously bait for the other five episodes outstanding, but worth a look just
the same.
Remember Bungie's pre-Halo Marathon
Trilogy? Yep, all three, available gratis (and the first one's a whole
4.7MB!).
Pick of the litter? Possibly Virgin's SubSpace.
It's a simple two-dimensional multiplayer space shooter, easy to learn,
challenging to master, and pathologically habit-forming. It was also still
being updated, according to Wikipedia, through 2007.
And who could forget Derek Smart's Battlecruiser
3000AD? After the absolutely wretched and bug-riddled 1997 original, the
much-revised Millennium version (2003) was surprisingly well-reviewed
(by which I mean even the one or two unrepentantly navel-gazing game mags gave
it at least one thumb up!).
Sorry if all links are redirected to wiki, it’s a good thing
every list is a valuable piece of data.
