Beneath a Steel Sky - I have very fond memories of that game, I still keep my PC copy of it.. black box, comic book, 7 floppies

Most people never realized that this is actually a Judge Dredd adventure.. It had a brilliant plot, incredible atmosphere and the ending was just wow. I think Flight of the Amazon Queen was by the same studio, as was Prisoner of Ice, no? They also made Lure of the Temptress which was all kinds of excellent. Revolution Games? My memory fails me..

Stay Vigilant!

I actually just started playing this game a couple days ago and i love it so much, it's like the first adventure game that i've spent more than an hour with. without spoiling the story, what do you mean when you say it's a judge dredd adventure? it the main character actually judge dredd or something?

Oh and this thread would not be complete without the fabled Marathon Trilogy.

Nono, it takes place in the Judge Dredd setting/world, that's all

That... blob-thing... looks scarily similar to something from VGCats.

 

[tahrikmili]

I thought Worms World Party was online playable? Even Worms Armageddon actually.. I may be wrong..

Not that they're free, but just wondering after the comment about gunbound above..

Dont you need the original RTCW for that?

 

[Neo Child]

I love you all!
Cave Story, Tyrian - my my, who knew you lot had taste.

 

[MutFox]

Dont you need the original RTCW for that?

NO!!
It's FREE!!

Plus there is a MOD for it called "True Combat: Elite"
Kickass MOD, it's a super realistic CS type game.
(No crosshair, you need to use ironsight to get a good shot.)

holy shit TYRIAN!

I played that game to death as kid, but I forgot the name.

Now I know again, thanks to tha magic of GAF

Bang! Howdy

Bang! Howdy is an online strategy game that is in free beta now. It is kind of a hybrid between a RTS and TBS game. It's sort of hard to explain, but it is pretty fun.

PC Freeware Gaming sucks...

Spoiler

except cave story that was created by divine intervention... how the hell a single man could do something so awesome is beyond me

 

[Wollan]

Kinda ot but Im downloading the System Shock 2 demo as we speak(thanks Gamespot).
I actually tried to do this a year or two back but it wouldn't run on my XP system at that time(this new one runs XP aswell). Do I need a special program to run it?

 

[Neo Child]

Cloud looks stunning, downloading that now.

I don't know about the demo but the game complained about needing Windows 2000 to install and there was some kind of a patch to install it, I believe.

Or was that Homeworld..

Either way, Google is your friend.

That reminds me I should install Homeworld when I get home and run it at 1600x1200 6xAA 16xAF and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmjoy

 

[neopokekun]

Here is another great freeware adventure game, Soviet Unterzögersdorf: Sector 1. It's the first part in a trilogy about Soviet Unterzögersdorf, the last existing appanage republic of the USSR. Digitized graphics ala Gabriel Knight 2 and voice-acting in Russian (naturally). Download the game here (PC, MAC, Linux).

Adventure games, very awesome. The first ones very short but I really reccomend a download.

Edit: Holy moly theres a 5th one!!!

(and yes, Broken Sword needs to be freeware)

 

[Wollan]

This was what Fileplanet had to say about the System SHock 2 demo:

NOTE: This Demo will not work on Windows NT/2000/XP machines due to a Microsoft (tm) DirectX 6.1 limitation.

I tried running it in all compability modes but to no luck.

EDIT: Nevermind, the fix can be found here:

I totally forgot about that game, really cool

 

[McBacon]

Ragdoll Masters
Technically it's not free, it's shareware. But it's hella fun and addictive. You control the dudes head...area and spin around using the laws of weird physics to smack your opponents around. Equal parts skill and luck I reckon. You can throw you own soundtrack in if you want to.

Thats so fun, thanks man.

 

[Illuminati]

Graphic adventure games are back!

5 Days a Stranger presents you the adventures of Trilby, a skillful burglar who thought have hitted a jackpot when discovering the vacant DeFoe mansion but was in for the scare of his life:

http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/

I second this game. I tried this after reading about this game on same random adventure game forum. It doesn't look like much, but it is very good.

I don't know how many people are into straight text adventure games, but there are a ton of free ones. If you appreciate completely story driven games you should try one: If (Interactive Fiction) Archive

 

[truth-lasers]

This remake of Ant Attack works well and looks stylish.

 

[neopokekun]

And speaking of remakes here are some more.

Project Paradroid, a Paradroid remake.

Head Over Heels

Total Eclipse

Xor

[WasabiKing]

this thread is admin-approved.

 

[Diablos]

Hmm, I'm gonna try mono. (Damn this thread for making me take a break from my Chrono Trigger marathon )

Head Over Heels looks cool, too.

 

[truth-lasers]

Another small gem, Wire Hang Redux for Windows & Mac.

The mind-fuck of Pendulumania.

And simple yet addictive Route 960

 

[truth-lasers]

Bunguru WA. Jump, jump, jump.

Super Mario Pac. Jetpack in the style of Mario.

And the stupidly addictive TKKN where you just avoid the small dots for as long as possible. One of the best freeware games out there, imo.

 

[:Motorbass]

Wanted to post Soldat, Tyrian and Warning Forever... but... beaten....Okay, so I post this:

Action Supercross, Elasto Mania. It is more a puzzle and balance game than a racer. Collect all apples and find the flower to finish the level. Master the physics, avoid hazards and do crazy stunts! Great game with leveleditor, demorecording and all! (Shareware tho :/)

Action SuperCross (original)
http://paprika.moposite.com/programs/upgrades/across13_shareware.zip

Elasto Mania (sequel)
http://paprika.moposite.com/programs/upgrades/elma12.zip

X-Moto (Oper source clone, but not as good)
http://royal.flof.dk/rasmus/?p=xmoto_getting

And another fun, little Strategygame:

Slay (Shareware too...)
http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/slay.html

And:

Crimson Land (Demo). Wow, very good Actiongame with loads of weapons and unique powers. Survive!

Another good one..

Lode Runner: The Legend Returns/Mad Monks' Revenge is a great example of how to update a classic and add a lot to it while still preserving the spirit of the original. A great puzzle game with plenty of variety. The lead programmer released it as freeware. But I reccommend downloading it here, because this mirror has the great music:
http://www.thelegendreturns.org/html/general/download.html
There are plenty of levels for download, too. I reccommend the "overlode" series.

 

[neopokekun]

Sword of Fargoal remake

Tower of the Sorcerer, puzzle rpg.

Tsunami 2010, a Tempest 2000 clone.

Magical Feeling 2, Puyo style puzzle game.

 

[truth-lasers]

Duck Doom Deluxe is pretty much what it sounds like. A screen should tell you everything you need to know (or four).

 

[neopokekun]

Those screenshots of Lode Runner made me remember that Adept Software has made their old games freeware as well.

Jetpack

Download the game, level packs and strategy guide.


God of Thunder

 

[Steeven]

Well, free PC games just mean Hidden & Dangerous

This classis tactical shooter started the rise of other tactical shooters, team-based shooters and learned that driving vehicles can be fun in missions, let co-op relive and all of that for free. It's also the game with the most bugs ever, but now most of them are fixed. What do you get with this release?

- Hidden and Dangerous
- The expansion pack
- The Map Editor
- Graphical makeover

BRILLIANT.

 

[djtiesto]

AWESOME thread. Cave Story and rRootage were already mentioned so it's got my 100% approval.

Seiklus

Gonna mention this game because its by an old acquaintance of mine. He actually wanted me to do an interview for him as a former ZZT user. Its a surreal platformer with a cool art style.

Ocular Ink

A game with cel-shaded graphics where you play as an eye who can shoot paint, using mouse gestures. This game NEEDS to be ported to the DS as fast as possible.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

For shame, no Box World? Shareware.

These Dismount games have taken thousands of man hours of productivity at my job.

Truck Dismount™ - Rekkaturvat™ - run a truck into a wall and watch ragdoll physics work its magic

And another thing, that GTA version never really works on my comp, it either runs way too fast or slow. Anyone have a solution for this?
