freeware games. it almost seems like an oxymoron. "free games?! well those can't be very good! who would give something good enough to be PAID for away for FREE?!" kind, kind indie developers, that's who.
"their games CAN'T be good though. can they?"
well, how about marathon, released for free by bungie recently?
"my god! I've seen the light! show me more!"
gladly.
the marathon series. a true classic. when PC people were playing doom, mac people were playing this. good plot, great gameplay, dual weilding...it's a wonderful classic. to run it you will need to get aleph one, then the marathon files from bungie and put them together in one folder. it's worth it. you'll find more details here.
super cosplay war ultra. one of the best freeware fighting games around. unlike most, where your characters have special moves based around their fighting style and design, this one has characters turning into characters from games and anime to do moves. for example, one character, Chung, turns into naruto characters for his moves. you can get this one here. it should be noted that all mirrors for the final version seem to be down, but you can get an earlier version that plays just fine.
ABA games shooters. these are top of the top of the line in vertical shooter awesomeness. torus trooper is kind of 3d and will make you feel like you played a curtain shooter on acid, and you'll love it. tumiki fighters is an insane game where destroyed enemies and chunks of bosses will power you up when they touch you, and fall off when shot. rrootage is basically all the boss fights of a curtain shooter, without the stuff inbetween, and it's pretty awesome. pascal 47 is incredibly fast, and is a blast to play. you can find these beautiful creations here.
