Minesweeper. Best game ever.

How about Need For Madness? It's an online game from RadicalPlay.com, but ArcadeTown has a free PC download available.

Don't accept any mission to move anything direct to Earth, it dumps you in the most common storyline, and the least interesting one.

you dislike the Vell-os? Heretic! Aurorans, Vell-os and Polaris are best!

I'll grant the Vell-os ships are pretty awesome, but the storyline ain't the best of them. (That honor goes unequivocally to the Auroran.)

agree to the second part, don't agree to the first.
Uninteresting are Rebels and Assoc (and Wild Geese).

Another full free (legal, ad supported) game:

The Adds are harmless, it's like this: A 8 second add pops up either at game start or after quitting and there is a little banner in the menu. That's all.

The following is NOT freeware, but I got it from WildGames for free anyway, so it might be worth giving it a shot.

You may be able to get Blasterball 2: Holidays for free if you download the WildGames Console. However, this offer was valid a long time ago, and after so many updates to the Game Console, I'm not sure if they bundle it with Blasterball 2: Holidays now.

Final Drive Nitro is one of WildGames' more successful games. Some years back, they released its "smaller brother", Final Drive Fury. Unlike Nitro, which requires you to purchase the full version, WildGames offers Final Drive Fury to the public for free. Fury cannot compare to Nitro, though, so be warned.

Tru dat.

[Vidmaster]

you agree, I do not. Well doesn't matter .

you can get Escape Velocity and Escape Velocity Override for free if you buy EV:Nova 
(they are available as TCs). And they are even better now since they use some of the new features.
And then, there is that gorgus graphical update TC for Override which can be converted to Nova... 
A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Still, EV and EV:O differ from Nova, especially the way the stories are told. Still, wouldn't it be great to discover a all new universe? (in case you dont know, no EV game has any connections to another).

Sadly, to give you an idea of just HOW awesome the Vell-os ships are, when I see a pair of Darts in my mighty Polaris Scarab, which will eat any other ship in the game except perhaps the even mightier Raven as a snack, I fear for my survival (and about half the time, am justified) When I see an Arrow, I jump the hell out, never mind a Javelin.

(Though it might help to deploy my 12 Mantas more, but they're half a mill each to replace!)

Battlecruiser Millennium v1.09.03 (released: 05.20.05)
for free?


Woot i can die happy"!!

[superstrongsarcasm tags in effect]

I've played Battlecruiser Millennium (*waits for blow to fall*  ), it's not the best game I've ever played, but it's not the worst, either. It's just ... well, neither good or bad. In the middle. I think the problem with it is that it has a complete lack of character. Although I enjoyed playing it a few times, it can be dull on occasion.

But onto something you might like: Generally. It's a nice little race game. Only about a 1.3Mb download. Although the graphics are bright and cheerful, if I recall correctly the physics are good enough for it to be classed as a simulation. And it has a big community, so you can expand it by getting new tracks, cars and sounds etc.

Oh yes, how could I forget GeneRally?

I used to have it installed on my computer*, but after it kept crashing, I removed it.
