Talk:Freeware Games

Rogue survivor?
I have not heard this game mentioned before but its a fairly solid roguelike based on a zombie outbreak, Think it should be added to the list?

I'm not sure what /v/ thinks about this game since I never see it being discussed, but it's pretty much the poor RTS gamer's wet dream, and it's definitely freeware. Some of the games are even opensource, and since the engine was originally built to remake Total Annihilation, fans of that series would like it too. Only reason I'm asking here is because this is /v/'s recommended games, and /v/ never talks about this game.

Download links
Seeing as this page is freeware games, wouldn't it be helpful to have links to download them/to their homepages, so readers can easily find them? Perhaps instead of a separate column with the links, making the title of the game into a link to a/the homepage for it. If nobody's opposed to this, I can just do it myself.

Also, for laze and easiness, some links:

Cave Story

Iji

Eversion

Dwarf Fortress

Gang Garrison 2

La-Mulana

Feel free to use/suggest a better link than the ones I found, if you think there is one. I pretty much just googled the names and tried to choose a link that didn't suck.--Green Mage 12:17, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree, it should just be added in the game's description, don't you think? I'll get to it. --MFGreth 18:20, 20 August 2009 (PST)

Main page
This page still has to be added to the main page. Probably under "Others" --Some other Anonymous 12:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Minecraft
Minecraft isn't freeware, only a tiny portion of it is available for free. I really think it should be taken off the freeware list.

We could note what's available as freeware and the full package as "freemium". Not that bad, considering we have very few entries on the page under that umbrella. --Dejiko 01:28, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Survival single-player (SSP) is free; when you give it a null user/pass, it asks if you wish to "play offline." The game's author, Notch, thinks that most people would play SSP, but ask any Minecraft /v/eteran and they'll tell you "fuck Notch." Maybe anonymous is right, and Minecraft should be on the OSX/PC/Linux pages but not here. --Mozai 23:09, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, well that sounds fair then. I'm not a fan, but I know it has them. --Dejiko 02:57, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Separate Article for Flash Games?
I believe that we should place flash games in their own separate article; an article for games that are only available as online flash games and not downloads. This way, the list would be less cluttered and messy. There are far too many flash games to list on here. Games that are available as downloads AND online (Meat Boy, Aether, Tower of Heaven, ect.) can stay, but games that are only available online should be moved to their own article IMO.--MoonMetropolis 23:24, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
