101 Free Games

Being a hardcore gamer I play allot of new titles out there. From strategy based games to FPS to adventure style RPG's I love them all. Usually these games are between $30.00 and $50.00 bucks, leaving the budget conscious gamer to be very selective. Well for those who just want to pass the time and not pay anything for some worthwhile distraction, comes a listing of Free Gaming titles anyone can download off the net for free.

Some of the titles are pretty kewl and worth taking a look at:

Cave Story

You get it all right here. Action. Adventure. RPG elements. Platforming. And it all comes in under 1MB.

Daikatana--Game Boy Color
URL: http://www.rome.ro/games_daikatana.htm
Straight from the homepage of John Romero comes his blessing to download the Game Boy Color version of Daikatana. Here's the crazy part: It's actually not bad for an adventure/RPG.

Dungeon Siege: Copperhead
URL: http://www.planetcopperhead.com/main.htm
Proof that some good things can come from Dungeon Siege, this sci-fi total conversion is a free game that's good enough to pay for. More interesting news: A Copperhead take on Far Cry is also in the works.

Dungeon Siege: Ultima V: Lazarus
URL: http://www.u5lazarus.com/
More good things from Dungeon Siege. These guys have re-created the classic Ultima V with this Dungeon Siege mod. We dug it so much that we gave it a review (check out page 88).

Eternal Daughter
URL: http://www.acid-play.com/download/eternal-daughter/
Addictive, fun, and in the vein of all those early '90s Nintendo RPGs, Eternal Daughter is a must-play bit of freeware, especially for Nintendo fanboys.

Flight of the Amazon Queen
URL: http://www.scummvm.org/
FOTAQ is a throwback to the simpler days of LucasArts-style adventure games. This classic has it all: crazy Nazi scientists, great dialogue, and lots of puns! If you want the whole experience, download the CD version.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/game_nolan.shtml
The classic Infocom text adventure is back, it's an online Web game, and now, technically, it's a graphic adventure.

Mount & Blade
URL: http://www.taleworlds.com/mb_download.html
This isn't a typical RPG. Sure, it's got your standard stat building, but combat takes place with third-person action. It's a little primitive but certainly worth the free download.
