carmel_andrews Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Free games Seeming as though modern gaming is getting more and more expensive with publishers/developers thinking of more ways to give us LESS game for MORE MONEY Even worse for PC users, as games get more and more technical, you need a better video card/gfx card just so you can play that game in fact it’s getting soooo bad you might as well get a new video/gfx card with each new release (like they think that updating a gfx/video card is free) If that isn’t bad enough, if you’re buying games from a shop. How do you know you are buying the FULL GAME? And not forced into downloading additional data(sets) for which you will have to pay for, just so you have the full game With that in mind and with the current economic climate not being too friendly towards buying ‘luxuries’ like new (or even used/second hand) games, I thought it would be a good idea to use our collective nouse and bring together a web ‘repository’ of FREE (online or offline) single/solitaire or multiplayer games that you can download and play till the cows come home (or until you get pig sick of that game)...within the confines of AtariAge Just to start things off, hers is a few ‘starters for 10’ http://www.gamershell.com/search/?q=free+full+game http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/full-commercial-single-player-pc-games-free-legal-downloads-1222975 http://www.playallfreeonlinegames.com/games/top-100-single-player-pc-games/ http://www.ausgamers.com/files/latest/free?start=300&type=free http://www.acid-play.com Please note, when I said a repository of ‘FREE GAMES’, I am not talking about illegally copied/pirated ISO’s that you can nab from the filesharing places, I mean FREE as in PD/User submitted, fan based/homebrew (call it what you will), like the linked content above and not illegally copied/pirated ISO’s Whilst I accept that most of the sites will be ‘PC dominated’, I am sure there are repositories of ‘free games’ content for Macintosh, Linux and also the various and all gaming systems, mobiles/tabs and smartphones If you are going to link to single games/the actual game site), best to indicate if you need to be online to play/load the game (as is the case with certain FPS's/TPS's and RPGs and others and most if not all MMO's) Also please indicate whether it is an actual game site or just a link to many games (on the same site) Lastly please also indicate whether it is the FULL game that is available or just a reduced content/cut down version Anyone with any more linkies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 A few great free PC games i enjoy: Giana's Return: Nice unofficial sequel of the C64 game "The Great Giana Sisters", my niece and my nephew (6 + 9) love it too. Blip & Blop - Balls of Steel: Funny 2D run and gun where you have to shoot scare bears etc. H.E.R.O.: Well made PC remake of the classic game. Also check out Locomalito.com you'll find some great games there like PC remakes of Ghosts'n'Goblins (Maldita Castilla) and Gradius (Hydorah). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) One I've really enjoyed lately is Star Conflict. Sure it's a 'freemium' game where you can pay if you want to, but all you're saving there is time, and the game is fun right from the first battle. The game is a very simple concept--stick people in a space ship that genuinely feels good, give them tons of upgrade strategy, and stuff a couple dozen of them at a time in a room for 5-10 minutes so they can blast each other. From what I've seen, all free users miss out on are some versions of some ships, which really aren't really above the rest. For equipment, the pay gear always seems to have a free equivalent. If anything, I've actually felt punished for buying ships in this game (because of how their tier/matchmaking system works).

Segataritensoftii Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) A nice place to find high quality freeware games is http://www.thefreebundle.com/.

cimerians Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A nice place to find high quality freeware games is http://www.thefreebundle.com/. Dang this is simply great. I had no idea about this site. Humble Bundle and now Free Bundle. Having a PC these days is like living in the 80's with a Atari/Apple or a C64 computer. Just tons of goodness.
