Free games for your PC, try all of them at least once! There's absolutely no reason not to.

This list is not for shareware or "abandonware" titles, but for games that are genuinely free so you can be both a cheapass and a righteous snob about it.

As more MMO Games go free-to-play, they are technically "freeware," but they're pretty specific, and you can't play them anymore if the company servers go away. These recommendations are for games that are free and are for single-player or LAN parties.


Screenshot Title Genre Platform Description Download
10800zombiesscreen 10800 Zombies Platformer Windows A simple, silly little survival-laughter platformer that has you taking on a fuckton of zombies. Everything is simple, but over-the-top fun, with fountains of blood and a goofy fast-rock soundtrack. You can only carry two weapons at a time, the better ones having limited ammo, so fire with care. Short, but sweet. Link
10MinSpace Strategy 10 Minute Space Strategy Turn-based Strategy Windows A space turn-based strategy game; games are short, but certainly longer than the Ten minutes the title implies. Not much to the game, but enjoyable. Link
8bit killer 05 8-Bit Killer FPS Windows Short, but nifty little FPS game that plays like olden FPS games, but with an NES tossed in as well. You only have mouse turning, L&R mouse clicks, space bar, and WASD (plus Q and E for slower turns), so pause (space) doubles as gun-selection (instead of 1-6 like other PC games). Actually controls pretty well with pretty precise gunfire and player movement. Stages follow a pattern of gauntlet (simple level with lots of enemies), labyrinth (multiple corridors and rooms, some locked by keys), and boss (small arena with a boss, who deals and takes more damage than normal foes). Some out-of-the-way rooms hold new weapons and power-ups, so explore often. Enemy AI is mostly simple, but effective. There's even a story, and a shotgun that doesn't just shoot 2 feet in front of you (!) as well. Link
Abobos big adventure Abobo's Big Adventure Beat 'em up, Run and Gun, Action RPG, others Flash Crazy over-the-top parody game where you control Abobo and have to travel through many different NES games to rescue your son, Aboboy. Each stage is different, you get to fight down the alleways of Double Dragon, explore a Zelda dungeon, run'n gun through the jungles of Contra, box in Punch Out, and others. It also has lots of secrets and stuff. Link

ActionDoom2UrbanBrawl Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl Beat 'em Up, First-Person Shooter Windows
OS X
A prequel to the Contra-styled Doom II mod, this Sin City-inspired brawler put you in the role of grizzled veteran, living a in dilapidated, crime-ridden city with only your daughter to keep you company and give your life meaning. When a bunch of thugs working of an unknown boss kidnaps her, you take it to the streets and beat the crap out of criminals to rescue her. A bit on the short side, but it features many secrets to uncover and branching paths that can lead into different endings. A boxed version with extra modes can be purchased although its contents has since been distributed for free. An add-on, Dead of Winter, was released in 2014, as well as bugfixes for ZDoom v2.7.1.

Ai Ai to Yuuki to Kashiwamochi Puzzle Windows Another cute little puzzle game from the maker of Irisu Syndrome. Ai-chan dreams of eating sweets, and we're just in luck because the gameplay is pretty similar to Yoshi's Cookie. But it's not as straightforward as that. Like Irisu Syndrome, it eventually progresses into something far more dark and sinister. Link
Alien-Swarm 1 Alien Swarm Shoot 'em Up Steam An online coop top-down shooter, players must work together to advance through levels, completing objectives along the way. as missions are completed, extra weapons and tools are unlocked for the player to use. Originally an unreal tournament 2k4 mod, Valve hired the mod team and during their employment, they remade the game in the source engine in their spare time. (Screenshot is of the old UT2k4 mod version.) Link
All-of-our-friends-are-dead-18 All of Our Friends Are Dead Run and Gun Windows A frightening, disturbing, trippy, and fun run-and-gun platform shooter that can perhaps best be described as Contra on a really bad acid trip; a hellish work of art replete with some of the strangest and most unsettling images you're ever likely to see in a game. The industrial rock soundtrack and bizarre first-person plural writing only contribute to the highly surreal and drug-like nature of this nightmarish trip. If this sounds like your kind of thing then, by all means, download it. You won't be disappointed. Link
Blarghberg Ao Oni Survival Horror, Puzzle Windows A freeware horror game done in RPG Maker. Similar to Clock Tower but with a more cliched plot. A group of middle schoolers go to investigate a haunted mansion where people supposedly do not return from, because they are devoured by a blue demon. Even though the Ao Oni looks laughable, there are some genuinely scary moments in this short game. Untranslated currently Now translated, ,but no longer hosted on dropbox, but all of the puzzles can be done without knowing Japanese except for one. (Answer to said puzzle)

Au-sable-promo-screenshot Au Sable Run and Gun Windows A relatively short Run 'n Gun game with a haunting sound track and really well done and disturbing art. Play as the titular Au Sable as she guns down horrifying enemies and searches for her lost sister. Or something. The plot is a little open for interpretation. A must play for /x/philes. Link

Barkley Shut Up And Jam Gaiden Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden RPG Windows May be one of the the greatest (freeware) RPG ever made. You play as Charles Barkley, a once-great B-Baller who lives in the dystopian city of Neo New York, who goes on an epic quest to stop a second Ballocaust from the evil organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S., aided by the octoroon great-grandson of Lebron James, Balthios, a space-traveling dwarf with a skin made of basketballs named Cyberdwarf, and his son Hoopz, and bring back the slams and the jams once more. The battle system is turn-based with action commands. The story is both dramatic and hilarious at the same time, and the dialogue and all the off-beat references will leave you wanting for more. The only flaw is that it ends. Link
Wesnoth-1.11.8-1 Battle for Wesnoth, The Turn-based Strategy Windows
OS X
Linux
Fantasy strategy game where much of the game's units, music, artwork, and campaigns are player contributed. The game plays on a hex based system, with terrain affecting the accuracy of attacks and unit movement. Six well-balanced factions are available for play at the start. It makes you really feel like you're commanding an army by having you level troops into hardened veterans, which you can recall for future battles. Dozens of custom units are available for single player and multiplayer by downloading player mods known as "eras". Fantastic quality considering it's freeware. Download stable version if you just want to play the game without too many bugs. Link
Battleships Forever Battleships Forever Real-Time Strategy Windows A game with Space battles,Inspired by Warning Forever. You can play through a Limited Story and a few Guantlet scenarios. Community has spent most of their time building overpowered ships for the game, so other than the ShipBuilder, the game doesn't have much content; Has a Mission Editor, but it sucks. Link

Beneath a Steel Sky Beneath a Steel Sky Adventure / Point 'N Click Windows
Linux
Classic adventure style game that follows Robert Foster on a journey through a cyberpunk-esque metropolis. Requires ScummVM to be played, or you can download it from GoG.com. Also available as an iPhone app, but it costs cash, apparently. Fun fact: the background art is drawn by Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame. Link
Btdt 01 Ben There, Dan That! Adventure Windows Ben There, Dan That! and its sequel, Time Gentlemen, Please! are two hilarious and silly indie adventures with MS Paint graphics filled with meta humor humour and references to old LucasArts games. Plays just like Sam & Max Hit the Road and obviously took a lot of inspiration from it. You can get both at once for five bucks on Steam or just download Ben There, Dan That! for free. Link Lost
Between-by-jason-rohrer-120 Between Experimental Windows
Mac
Linux
In Between, an online-multiplayer-only game by acclaimed indie developer Jason Rohrer (of Passage and Inside a Star-Filled Sky fame), there are three dimensions which you can cycle through by going to sleep or waking. When you wake up, you take the blocks in the wooden structure with you as a spawnable small block which you can use to build the towers. The co-op part is that one of the three dimensions is "shared" and you see all of the blocks the other player spawns in their negative colors and vice versa. If you put blocks of the same color in the structure, you can spawn in the other dimensions. This game is very obtuse and has no clear goals, but it may be interesting to experiment with for a while. Give it a shot if you enjoy artsy, experimental games. Link
Blackmesav Black Mesa FPS Windows A fan remake of the original Half-Life using Source, developed as soon as the engine is available to the public and released as a freeware. The dev team made a decision to reduce jump height so if you're not satisfied with that, just tweak the skill.cfg file.

Also, keep an eye out for Operation Black Mesa and Guard Duty .

Black shades Black Shades FPS / Bodyguard Sim Windows You are a psychic bodyguard, and your duty is to protect the VIP in white. You must protect him from increasing hordes of snipers, gunmen, muggers, and even the hordes of the undead using a variety of weapons, ranging from a simple knife to grenades. If you or he dies, you restart the level. Have fun on the grenade levels. Link
Blackthorne Blackthorne Platformer Windows Interesting platform shooter, somewhat like the old Prince of Persia games, but with shotguns and ugly orcs. It's now available for free for all Battle.net users. Link
Blindmonks 163516 Blind Monk's Society Can't see shit sim HL2 mod After getting your eyes pecked out by ravenous ravens, you are to be inducted into the Blind Monk's Society, and to prove you've got what it takes, you're given simple tasks to navigate through your blindness. A HL2 mod, so you'll need the Source SDK to run it. It's not too long at all, but it's interesting and quite immersive. Protips: Wear headphones and bind Q and E to turn so that you can turn in small measured amounts. Link
Games-block 500 Block Breakout Windows A funny-as-hell breakout game with levels that you're supposed to clear as fast as possible, which most of the levels facilitate with blocks that break to release either one ball or a nonstop stream of balls. You start each level with 10 balls you can launch from your paddle whenever you want. The power-ups include big paddle, small paddle, full-screen paddle, tiny balls, giant balls, reverse gravity, and an infinity symbol that gives you infinite balls for 20 seconds.

Doesn't include sounds or music, but you can add your own with specific filenames, including a secondary song that plays while you have infinite balls (Fist of the North Star makes it goddamn hilarious).

[Depending on your OS, you may need other software to force the game to run in a window and use 16-bit color. I tried on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop and got the sprites to show the right colors, but they have pink boxes around them from transparency not being applied.]

Blue Wish Resurrection Blue Wish Resurrection / Plus Shoot 'em Up Windows A doujin shooter that draws heavy influence from Cave's works. Has multiple difficulty settings and passive options ranging from casual (Heaven/Guard) to damn near impossible (Hell/Accel). Very bullet heavy and score-centric, enticing the player to risk waiting on cancels for huge score bonuses. Plus adds more bullets and a slowdown option when the screen is completely full. Link

Catc screenShot2a Cat and the Coup, The Puzzle Steam A "documentary game", this clever indie arthouse puzzler uses fun, simple puzzle mechanics and wonderfully artistic animation to tell a fascinating chunk of Iranian history. The game is extremely short, but it's free, and certainly worth checking out. It will be a long time before any major game company is ever willing to release something so bold, original, and daring.

Widely considered to be one of the best freeware games and the great pioneer of modern indie game development. Good story, great Metroidvania gameplay and cute pixel graphics and chiptune music (composed on the creator's custom program no less!). Has been ported to lots of different consoles and has had some modified re-releases in the form of Cave Story + and Cave Story 3D. The PC version, however, has the most user-made mods. Feel free to play it whatever way you like though. Link

Cho86 2 Cho Ren Sha 68K Shoot 'em Up Windows A famous manic shooter for the Sharp X68000 released in 1995. Later ported to Windows 98 and released as freeware. Gameplay is straightforward but challenging, especially after beating the first loop. Tip: Stay inside the power-ups to collect all 3 at once! Run in compatibility mode on Windows XP. The original X68000 disc image is also available (provided you know how to work an emulator). Link
Chicanery Chicanery Multiplayer Windows
iOS
A very simple multiplayer game. 2 to 4 players each holds down a key. If you lift your finger, you're out. The last one remaining is the winner. That is all there is to it, except the game does not know what you're doing to make other lift their fingers. Of course you can decide to add rules like "no forearm touching", but it's up to you to decide. This is the game for any party. PC

Coil--article image Coil Experimental Steam

"Coil is a game with no instruction or clear direction. Please keep an open mind while playing." So reads the opening of Coil, an experimental flash game from Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl. Coil tells a sad (yet highly mysterious) tale woven between small minigames involving sperm and conception. Whether you find it compelling or pretentious will depend entirely on your tastes. Nevertheless, give it a try. Link
Crayon-physics-2 Crayon Physics Puzzle Windows An ingenious little indie puzzler, Crayon Physics tasks you with drawing lines, shapes, and any number of objects in order to guide a ball through an obstacle course to collect stars scattered across the levels without the ball falling off. An enhanced and expanded version, known as Crayon Physics Deluxe, has been released on PC and iOS to universal acclaim (although it is not free). Link
Dardius Burst Dardius Burst Shoot 'em Up Flash A shmup homage game inspired by Gradius, and Darius. The game plays like Gradius, but has multiple stage paths and fish based enemies like Darius. There's also a bit of Parodius to be seen, as the obstacles and enemies you fight are goofily rendered photos of aquatic creatures and food products made from them. A surprisingly solid, though rather tough game that's worth a play through. Link

A twist on roguelike genre: the entire map is just one screen, monsters don't move and Fog Of War is the most valuable resource. Amazingly deep for a game where one session rarely plays for longer than 15 minutes, has a nice balance between classes (there are eighteen and each one of them offers quite a differing experience) and offers a wide variety of challenges with special dungeons, Ranked mode, Gauntlet and a story mode.Currently in Beta. Not free, but has new art, a dungeon prep system, quests, and huge balance overhauls. Link

Don t look back Don't Look Back Platformer / Mind fuck Windows
Flash
A Flash game that looks like it belongs on the Atari 2600. The gameplay is simple: run, jump, shoot. The difficulty is in the upper echelons of freeware games. Whenever you 'die' you start right back at the same screen, so you'll never have to start over. Written by the same guy as VVVVV. The atmosphere is stellar, the music haunting, and the ending is chillingly sad. The only fault of the game is that it's extremely short: a skilled gamer could finish in ten minutes. Others find it boring and ugly. It's a game that splits opinion. Play it and see if you like it. Link

D64ex 04 Doom 64 EX FPS Windows A perfect port of the Nintendo 64 Doom game, and arguably a better alternative than Doom 64 TC. Doesn't add levels and things that weren't there, plays like a charm. The only thing you'll need is a Doom 64 ROM from which to extract the data. There are even some PWADs/mods for this release. The site also has modding tools, so all you old-school Doomers can go nuts.wad. Link
Absscr-36 DOOM 64 TC FPS Windows A nearly perfect port of the N64 game. Based on a modified Doomsday engine. Has new levels and a few new enemies recolors. You can also make your own levels with Doombuilder 1. Requires a copy of doom2.wad in order to play. If you don't have that wad then an N64 emulator and a ROM will do fine. Link

Dwarf Fortress Dwarf Fortress Simulation / Neck Bearding Windows
Linux
You start with a few dwarves and try to build a fortress while avoiding savage animals, fighting goblin assaults, trading with elves, etc... The game is really a simulation, with lots and lots of parameters. For example, EVERY single living thing has a separate health counter for EVERY body part. Very hard to learn, check a tutorial on the Internet and use the wiki, as the game is nearly impenetrable otherwise. Original game has ASCII graphics, but mods can replace them with sprites. Also, the current version is somewhat faster and uses a better graphic renderer, so you should probably use that instead. Link

Elder Scrolls Arena Elder Scrolls: Arena, The RPG DOS The first Elder Scrolls game, a huge, open ended RPG with a classic D&D ruleset and feel in first-person.

Forgetmenot1 Forget-Me-Not Action / Maze Windows Forget-Me-Not is one of the best retro arcade tributes to come around in a long time. This is not just another lame title capitalizing on the "retro" fad. This is the real deal. Forget-Me-Not looks, plays, and sounds exactly like a coin-op arcade title straight from the 1980s. Gameplay feels like a mix of Pac-Man, Venture, and Galaga as you traverse mazes, collect flowers, shoot enemies, and collect keys to open doors to new mazes.

(?????????)
Action-Adventure Windows A little known game that draws inspiration from Zelda and Beyond Oasis. You get different elemental spirits, each of which has multiple abilities. Change your active spirit by collecting different elemental coins. This is a simple system that is used very cleverly as you never gain more MP than you start with, and as a result several puzzles use this to make you think of the best solution. Gorgeous levels and design, and has pretty fun boss fights and music. Game

These games have a charming minimalistic style both in visuals using only black and white and in gameplay as you can only move and shoot left or right. Though both games have the same style and mechanics, only the sequel (Hero Core) is a full-fledged Metroidvania game as the first one lacks some traits like power-ups to get to new areas, a map, and the backtracking feel as it is more straightforward. Both have multiple difficulties which must be unlocked, secrets, and bonus content. 1st game

It's done in his crew's well-known style, but the gameplay may be unfamiliar to those new to old styled games. Outside of boss fights, the game is fairly non-linear. You can find a shitload of gear before you even take on the first boss. However, it can be difficult because of this, and quite easy to get lost. If you're patient and can get the hang of it, you'll find an enjoyable game here. Game

Icy-tower-21 Icy Tower Platformer / Action Windows One of the most popular freeware games ever made with over 20 million downloads to date, Icy Tower was launched in 2001 and has been consistently updated ever since. The game has players guiding a silly urban caricature called "Harold the Homeboy" up an - you guessed it - icy tower. The screen scrolls upwards and falling off one of the slippery platforms will result in instant death. The faster you run, the higher you jump. Icy Tower is not a game filled with strategy or depth, but it's an amusing enough diversion for score-chasing arcade gamers, and its sheer popularity alone is a testament to how many people seem to enjoy it. The game is also available on Facebook and iOS, although the iOS version is not free. NOTE: The game suffered a dramatic change in the art and music style between v1.2 and v1.5. Those who like one might not be into the other. 1.2 can still be found on the internetz, but compatibility issues with current hardware and software may arise. Link

Iji Iji Platformer / Run and Gun Windows You control one of the two survivors of an alien attack.

It has some of the best music in freeware games, the final boss theme deserves to be on everyone's playlist. Gameplay is based partially on System Shock and consists of going through levels with various weapons, upgrading your abilities, and either killing or stealthily avoiding enemies depending on player preference. Alternate dialogue/bosses and a few secrets makes replaying this gem worth while. Link

Jumper Level 7022 Jumper Platformer Windows The original Jumper game, programmed by Matt Thorson when he was only 16(!), is a brutally difficult platformer that, despite what some may say, did not actually inspire Meat Boy. It does, however, have many striking similarities, and fans of Meat Boy and Super Meat Boy should definitely check it out. The original Jumper features double jumps, but not wall-jumps or high jumps. The wall-jumps are not missed, however, since they were very frustrating to pull off with a keyboard in Jumper Two. An enhanced remake of Jumper, titled Jumper: Redux, can also be downloaded free of charge from Matt Thorson's site. Link Lost

Each game has you controlling a Japanese salaryman who must solve elaborate and complex puzzles in order to kill himself. Yes, that's right. The goal is to die, and you have to do everything you possibly can to make yourself die. If you can get past the crude graphics in the earlier games, you will find a series of clever, mind-bending, and immensely satisfying puzzle platformers tinged with ample helpings of pitch-black humor and plenty of highly challenging puzzles.

4chan's crippled girl porn game! Wait, it's not what it seems. But yes, this is an adult game by a team assembled on /v/, based upon this concept by a Japanese doujin artist. It's about a young man who, after nearly dying and getting diagnosed with cardiac dysrhythmia, is sent to the only place where he can get the constant medical attention he needs: a boarding school for the physically disabled. There, he meets five charming teenage girls, each with a different condition. Now, if you thought "I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going", you're wrong. This game is far more romantic than erotic. The sex scenes are few and tame. It's not about scoring with crippled girls, but learning to look past their disabilities to find they are simply people, burdened with hopes and fears like everyone else. It's poignant, thought-provoking, and respectful. Play for the feels. Link
KAWAHARAUMISE Kawaharaumise Puzzle / Physics Flash A game inspired by the physics of the Umihara Kawase series.

A remake of the best Metroidvania you've never heard of, which is also the cornerstone that the entire genre was built upon. Unlike later games, this one does NOT mess around. You have to find out everything by yourself in a huge game filled with areas and enemies ready to EASILY kill you. Protip: If you play the original on an MSX (or MSX emulator) you can take advantage of 2nd slot ROM carts, which add power-ups from the get-go. Had a NES version which is notably different in several areas. This remake however is prune to be buggy and tends to crash, and hasn't been updated since v0.63 for some time. Link

Unlike Knytt Stories below, the original Knytt has very little actual challenge and can be easily completed in a short amount of time. That doesn't make it any less enjoyable, however. If you like platformers, you owe it to yourself to give Knytt' a try. Link

And ultimately we get this Tribute Edition, which may be as complete as this will get.

Even so, it's still not really complete - it only has the mane six, single-player has no ending, options are very limited, and joystick support is non-existent. But the graphics and sound are pretty good, gameplay is solid (hope you like your AI hard as balls), and each character has multiple palette swaps modeled after other characters from the show (to give just one example, Rainbow Dash can be turned into Daring Do, Spitfire, and Lightning Dust). So, it's a little fun game, even if you're not into the show.

Not to be confused with the other Fighting is Magic game, which is being developed by the original team with new characters designed by MLP creator Lauren Faust herself.

Noitu2 scr02 Noitu Love 2: Deevolution (Demo) Beat 'em Up / Platformer Windows FAR SUPERIOR to the first game as it is fully animated, the boss battles are more kickass, COMBOS, and fast paced action. You play as a new character (the game takes place some time after the first), but the plot is the same, kill all the aliens. Has some neat side scrolling experiences and a recommended game to anyone. You even unlock new characters after you beat it the first time. One of the few "freemium" entries on this page, since it actually costs money to get the game now, but was originally free for a very brief while. Planned to be ported to WiiWare, but still hasn't happened and probably won't. Link

Nullpomino NullpoMino Puzzle (Tetris and others) Windows
Java
A Tetris game engine, designed as a successor to the playable-but-totally-disorganized mess of code that was Heboris Unofficial Expansion. In a similar way to Tepples' Lockjaw, you can customize damn near everything in the game, from the mechanics to the visuals to the soundtrack. The gameplay stuff is divided into modes (modes of play, and the goals of each one) and rules (systems that determine your controls, and the behavior of the pieces as you move and rotate them). In addition to rules and modes based on just about every commercial Tetris game and many unofficial ones, you can play adaptations of Dr. Mario, Puyo Puyo and Super Puzzle Fighter. There's even netplay, though the level of player activity seems sporadic.
Obake Obake Platformer Windows You know Kirby, right? This one is basically the same game, but you play as a ghost that can possess any enemy and use their abilities. Well, as long as they don't take too much damage and die, that's it. But you can possess another one, so who cares? (Fun Fact: This concept was first used in an old game called Avenging Spirit.) It is in Japanese, but I don't think that the story is something that you should care about when playing this game. Just reach the end of the stage, and if you really are a completionist, discover all the secret passages accessible by using certain enemies' abilities. Link

A fanmade port of Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan. Surprisingly well made, with integrated IRC, multiplayer modes, rankings, built in beatmap editor, and easy to use interface. All songs come from other users, so there's an extremely large amount of video game and anime music. Includes Taiko Drum and Catch the Beat modes. Also available on the iphone/itouch, though it requires jailbreaking. The only downside is that the servers often cockblock your attempts to download more than a few songs at a time, so grab a beatpack instead. The game is free, but you need to sign up before you can start playing. Link

Photopia computer game screenshot Photopia Text adventure Windows Arguably one of the most introspective, haunting interactive fiction games ever created. The story revolves around the life and development of a precocious twelve-year-old girl. However, you never play as her. Instead, you play as several different characters who care for her in different ways.

Along with these perspective shifts, you're also playing through vivid, dreamlike fantasy sequences. There's a common, but subtle underlying theme that is made clear as the game progresses, and one of the last scenes is open to interpretation.

The game is still a WIP, but it's playable in its current form. Link

Rokko chan Rokko Chan Platformer Flash A Megaman Classic+X homage with a Dash and Dash Jump, but no charge shot, sliding, or wall-kick (at first? Needs verification.) Get new weapons from bosses to use in stages and/or against other bosses. Actually looks, sounds, and plays quite like a new entry, even if nothing new is added outside of the dash factor. Even has a Japanese and English version in the same game. Stages are well designed and mix and homage elements from multiple games from the series, often within each other or in unexpected areas. Although check points are a bit scarce, the challenge is fair and fun. Link

Spacesim3 RPG Shooter: Starwish Shoot 'em Up / RPG Flash The dude behind this Flash game (xdanond) is obviously an enthusiast in visual novels and probably Sigma Star Saga, and it shows: on one hand, there is a surprisingly well-written Firefly-style story for a Flash game. On the other hand, he sucessfully mixed RPG elements into shmup mechanics (character leveling, ship upgrades, weapon shopping) without breaking the game. His friend, auriplane, also turns in a fantastic score.
The game is long, and you'll be using save feature a lot. It's a fucking shame this is a Flash game.

Who knows, maybe it's because a certain event in it has a rather large impact on the rest of the series and gets referenced frequently, so people who only bought seasons 2 or 3 would know what's going on.

Spelunky Spelunky Platformer / Roguelike Windows The game's creator was trying to create a platformer, inspired by Spelunker for NES, that invoked feelings of a roguelike. The result is a platformer where levels are randomly generated, and deaths make you start all over again. Surprisingly, the unforgivable deaths actually work pretty well and are pretty fair: 95% of the deaths are your fault. You find yourself avoiding the mistakes you previously made and going further and further. And since levels are random, you re-discover a new level every death. Link

You're also given a wide variety of choices on how to respond to your captors, and the dialogue is rather interesting.

Each crate gives you one point, and there are three areas to choose from, each with three difficulty modes (two of the difficulty modes are unlockable). The higher scores you get, the more characters, weapons, and difficulty modes. With each crate you get, your weapon will change randomly, which increases the difficulty since some weapons are massively destructive and others totally suck. Super Crate Box is maddeningly fun and an iOS version is also available (but isn't free). Link

For an indie game it has a shitload of content, good music, and well written story bits written by contributors over the years. You start off by picking a race and class and fighting through dungeons, collecting equipment and doing optional quests to make yourself stronger so that the mid-late game bosses don't rape you too hard. If you don't die, eventually you get to unravel a dastardly plot where some evil dudes try to destroy the world with a weapon from an ancient civilization.

Although made in RPGMaker 2000, the designer, "S", replicated Earthbound's battles and effects quite well. For the masochist in you, there's even multiple difficulty levels to take on! Unsurprisingly, it garnered enough love for S to make a sequel. It's still in the works, but it looks even better than ever, even using the music combos from Mother 3. Preview, English version

A very short (15 mins) but enjoyable platformer. You are attempting to climb the tower inhabited by a god. As you go up, the god gives you more rules to follow, under penalty of death, such as "You shall not touch blocks from the side". Because these rules stack, levels get harder and harder. The ambiance is very poetic and the music is catchy. Try to get all the secrets for a fun bonus. Link
Trackmania-4 Trackmania Nations Forever Racing / Stunts Steam Trackmania Nations Forever is a terrific racing game that successfully incorporates puzzle elements with fast-paced driving to create an all-around fun experience. The physics are far from realistic, but the game does force you to consider your angles, speed, and driving methods as you dash through elaborate obstacle courses to earn medals. Online mode is unique in that the cars cannot effect each other in any way, and simply pass through other cars like ghosts. This isn't a "car fetishist" game, but it isn't exactly Mario Kart either. Rather, it manages to strike a happy-medium between the two. Trackmania Nations Forever is completely free, so you have absolutely no excuse for not giving it a try. Link

Nurse fight04 Twisty's Asylum Escapades Action-Adventure Windows Twisty's Asylum Escapades is a dark, 3D, single player, action adventure video game and is the premier gaming project by the masterminds at Twisted Jenius. You play as Twisty; the evil, disembodied floating brain with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, as he makes his way through this bizarre mental facility, fighting enemies and solving puzzles in order to secure his own "early release" from the asylum.

The best DOS shmup ever, with tons of plot, secrets and stuff! After lots of expansions, the creators eventually made it freeware. After being converted to Windows in the form of OpenTyrian, it was picked up by GOG.com, which is the preferable way to acquire it, since it is just install and play! Link

AVATAR! Lord British has called you to Britannia to uphold his virtues and lead his people to the path of enlightenment. Travel through the land of Britannia, visit all villages, learn all about the virtues and retrieve the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom.

Still very good, even if it looks dated. A fan patch is available that gives the graphics quite the overhaul.

Undersid5a Underside, The Platformer / Metroidvania Windows So far there is only a demo made, but it is a DAMN good demo. It's basically Cave Story, but with characters, dialogue, and plot that are reminiscent to Earthbound. Fun platforming, weapon gaining, Metroid-esque game. This game has been under development since 2005 and he is making little progress so don't expect to see the full game any time soon. Link
An Untitled Story Untitled Story, An Platformer / Metroidvania Windows A platform game including a few Metroidvania elements, like a unified giant level with a map and different abilities to access new paths. MS Paint graphics, but without the usual background/platform confusion associated with it. Game is gigantic, with tons of secret zones. You'll need at least 10 hours to finish the game and 20 hours for a 100%. Also has a cute but not important story. Author's Page, you have to mouse over each picture until you find the one you're looking for
Screenshot-UrbanTerror Urban Terror FPS Windows Quake 3 hack that makes good use of the engine. Kinda like CS, but different in more ways than one. Shit like throwing knives and wall jumping ahoy in this game. Pretty good local and net multiplayer all around, too. Link
Star Control II Ur-Quan Masters, The / StarControl2 Space Adventure Windows A Space Adventure game originally released for DOS, It was released as freeware and remade into The Ur-Quan Masters. Features Top-down space combat and exploration. Hard as balls without a wlkthrough. Link
Vanguard Princess Vanguard Princess Fighter Windows A disgustingly moe fighter that actually turned out pretty solid and fun, probably because it was developed on 2D Fighter Maker 2K by an ex-Capcom employee. You'll need to install Microsoft Applocale (Link Lost, sorry) to make the game recognize your PC as Japanese, but that's hardly a problem at all. /jp/ made netplay, thankfully. Link
Vantagemaster Vantage Master Online Turn-based Strategy Windows Summon creatures known as Natiels to fight for you as you vie to control the map's mana beacons. There are over 20 unique summons, each with their own abilities and elemental affinity. The CPU has no qualms with stomping your shit and seemingly has damage algorithms rolling in its favor, so you'd better be on top of your game. Contains gratuitous amounts of Engrish. Link
VoidDestroyer Void Destroyer Space Combat / Sim Windows A Space combat sim with RTS elements Link
Warlock-bentspine Warlock Bentspine Platformer Windows A very Mega Man-esque platformer in which you play as the titular Warlock Bentspine, who must make his way through highly challenging levels to defeat various wacky villains; once you beat them, you can use their powers. An excellent homage to Mega Man and other NES games, Warlock Bentspine is terrific fun while it lasts. Link
WFBoss Warning Forever Shoot 'em Up Windows A unique boss rush shoot 'em up where every level is an increasingly complex boss that learns from the previous boss. Did the previous boss kill you with missiles? In that case, the next boss will shoot more missiles. Each boss is killed the same way: by using your multi-directional aiming to blow up every individual part until all that's left is the core. A very clever twist on the traditional shmup formula, Warning Forever is so good that it's a permanent part of the traveling game exhibition known as Game On. Link

A fast paced FPS in the vein of Quake, but with celshaded Team Fortess 2 style graphics. It has the typical bunny hopping/strafe jumping found in mods like CPMA and a unique dash/special key that allows for things like wall jumps/kicks and plenty of map tricks. Link
SAfyHM C We Shall Wake Third-person action beat-em-up Windows
OS X (eventually
Linux
An incredibly fast paced and extremely versatile third person action game in the style of action scenes from internet flashes and anime. You control a futuristic MORS model robot that runs at the speed of sound, can teleport, jump incredibly high and more. While it's only in Alpha and still VERY rough around the edges, it's still enjoyable and fun to tinker around with. Note that it is very graphically intensive- you'll need a good card for this one. Link
Which Which Horror / Puzzle Windows A short game where you look for a way to open the door out of the small house. Lacks any sort of options and the 'low' quality version is still pretty high so be sure your PC is good enough. Link
Wc cover 0-1- White Chamber, The Psychological Horror / Adventure Windows You wake up on a ship in space, encounter some very horrifying scenes (despite the cartoonish art direction), and slowly piece together what the hell was going on (it wasn't pretty). This is one you can finish in a couple of hours, but has received very high praise from critics for its clever puzzles, chilling atmosphere, and terrific story. Link

Windwater1 Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles Puzzle Windows The main rule for clearing blocks in this game is to spin them around and form diamond shapes, which will then disappear along with other blocks of same color linked to them. There are three available methods for chain scoring and you'll need very good reflexes to play well.

The game has a huge story mode with all sorts of missions and minigames in its SMB3-like overworld. If you do well enough in some missions, you can even unlock shortcuts to the end. I recommend you read the whole storyline, though, as it is fairly amusing. Also available for the GP2X and the Dreamcast.

Winnie The Pooh's Home Run Derby Sports / Mindfuck Flash Don't let the name or the design of the game fool you. This simple home run baseball game hosted on the Japanese Disney Webgames webpage will make you want to hate such beloved characters such as Tigger and Christopher Fucking Robin as the levels get harder. Witness as they pitch baseballs that zig-zag in midair and even fucking disappear just miliseconds after it leaves the pitcher's hand. ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN! Link
Withinadeepforst Within a Deep Forest Platformer Windows Within a Deep Forest is another game from Nifflas (of NightSky and Knytt fame), so you know it's good. This one has you controlling a bouncy ball and, using Metroidvania elements, you gain access to new ball types which allow you to enter new areas. It's very challenging and very frustrating but, if you're up to the challenge and prepared to rage, Within a Deep Forest is a solid and well-made platformer. Note: The Secret Levels file that comes with the game are minigames you can play after finishing the main story. One will automatically unlock after you completing the last level, the other 2 must be unlocked via codes found in the game. Link
Enemy-territory Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory FPS Windows
Linux
Possibly one of the greatest team fortress-esque game ever concieved. This was suppose to be the added multiplayer for the PC version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but id Software decided to release it as a freeware game. If the class system doesn't get you interested, the intuitive gameplay will. Almost every map has some different objective to be completed, making for a very different experience every time you play this game. Link
Wraith Wraith Adventure / Horror Windows Link
Yume Nikki Yume Nikki Adventure / Mindfuck Windows Wander around a little girl's dreams (most of which are extremely disturbing) while collecting abilities, most of which don't do squat. The gameplay is mainly about exploration, as you are not given any specific goal nor given any clue about where to go, and the places available can sometimes be very large. The game heavily relies on atmosphere. Definitely an interesting experience, nonetheless, give it a try. This game has it's own *chan.
Has several fangames and fan-sequels in the same vein, some linked here:

Best played with a 360 controller.
