Friday Means Free Games

Posted by Zonk on from the that-means-you-don't-need-money dept.

Joystiq has two posts up linking to sources of free games. Liberated Games offers up single player experiences, while GameOgre's list of free MMOGs will ensure you can get together with other people on the cheap. From the post: "Liberated Games is an online catalog of games that have been released for free in one way or another. This may be the full game, like Grand Theft Auto. Or it might just be the sourcecode, like Doom. Either way, this is a huge list of games that can, in some way, be had for the grand price of zero dollars and zero cents."

  1. Not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth... by KingSkippus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is a great idea, but the Liberated Games list is a bit skimpy. I noticed that a bunch of the games were shareware demos, such as Wolfenstein 3D and such, but I remember downloading hundreds of fun shareware games from BBS'es. Anyone remember William Soleau's games? God, I played Oilcap until my fingers bled...

    Also noticably absent are the amazing collection of open source software games, of which my favorite at this time would probably be Freeciv.

  2. Guild Wars? by Nasarius · · Score: 3, Interesting

    By what bizarre logic is Guild Wars "free"? Sure, it doesn't have any monthly fees, but you still have to pay for the boxed game!

  3. "Medievia" is one big license violation by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Further Overview: Medievia is based on stolen and misattributed Mud source code and is widely reviled by the Mud community as petty thieves. Search Google for the details.
