Feel free to add descriptions, boxart, new games, make corrections, whatever.
You will be a good person for doing so, and we can use the help. As long as it's not bullshit, at least, but we trust you.

You might find some good free games over on the Freeware Games page! (All games are free, but some games are more free than others).

Graphical Troubleshooting for Vista and Windows 7 users
Chances are, you own either Windows Vista or Windows 7 and you want to play some of the games on this list. Most of these games are old games, and unless you bought them from GOG you might have one trouble that is easy to solve. This issue fucks up some colors in some of these old games, turning them into a fucked up color scheme. It was believed to be a GPU issue, but it's not, apparently. Because there's a very easy method to solve this. We'll be using Starcraft: Brood War as an example. Now, let's try and launch the game.

As you can see, the colors are completely messed up. It's not as severe in the screenshot, but apparently taking a screenshot changes some of the colors in the image, making them even more fucked up. Just think of it as a rainbow which doesn't influence the game much, but is pretty damn uncomfortable to have around. How do we solve this? First thing first, right click on the Starcraft icon on your desktop or in the program list and go to Compability.

Check the boxes that make you: Run the Program as Administrator, compability mode - Windows XP Service Pack 2, Disable visual themes and Disable desktop composition. Click OK. Now, here comes the essential part.

As shown above, right click on an empty part of your desktop and click on Screen Resolution. Just like that. The menu should come up.

Now, without closing OR HIDING the window, click on Start and launch Brood War from your program list. And you're done! Everything should look great. Can't include screenshots, though, because they're still fucked up, even if on your monitor it looks perfectly normal. Now, go play those games you thought you couldn't enjoy on a newer system! man

OR IF YOU CAN'T BE FUCKED DOING ALL THAT: OPEN THE GAME, PRESS CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, CLOSE THE "explorer.exe" PROCESS AND YOU ARE GOOD

OR BETTER YET IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE TWO ON HUGE LAZY FAGGOT METER DO THIS

Make a notepad file

'taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe C:\"Program Files (x86)"\"StarCraft"\"Starcraft.exe" start explorer.exe '

Save as Starcraft.bat

Replace middle line with wherever your starcraft file is.
