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!"

you'll be wanting to take all the good stuff you can. After living here for all my life I'm now starting to realise how shit we are compared to you Americans.
I urge you to bring all good software you can find. After all these things are hard to find in the "third world".
Maybe bring some beads to trade with the natives?

Watch the inflight movie. Twice even. Besides how long is the laptop battery going to last? 2 hours at the most.

What are you kidding me?

Get out there and get some games you fucking moron! Everything is FREE! WarCraft III, NeverWinter Nights --- every fucking game in the world is online right now. Go download some! Otherwise enjoy your crappy games like FreeCiv (what a piece of shit!) I would rather play "Minesweeper" or "Snake".
