What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games?

An anonymous reader asks: "I'm flying from the US to Europe in a few weeks and am taking my iBook along for the ride. With a seven hour flight looming, I'm wanting to take some games along to play. But I don't want to download a bunch of freeware that may or may not be junk; I just want the classics. What are the classic free games? I've already downloaded Nethack and am looking into Freeciv. What else is there? I need something that's multiplatform (or at least has a Mac port), something that's stable and has stood the test of time, and something that is more complex and engrossing than a Tetris clone. Thanks!"

Step 3) Possibly go to jail (for much longer than a corporate thief would) for copyright infringment.

maim is great I remember putting like 5 dollars in that at my local 7-11 when they used to have U.N. Squadron and Street fighter, both of which are capcom maim arcade games. I guess they got rid of them in 7-11 because they had people like me hanging out for 3 hours, i actually got my one bike stolen cause i didn't have it locked up which really sucked, yes i know offtopic
