Well I am making this thread for posting links of legal freeware Games available on Net. It is diificult to found such free games. Size no limit.

:arrow: Rules to be followed:

Post as many links as u can [ with game name and little description ] Links should be verified and proper.

No Spamming allowed.

Games should be legal and freeware / Open Source.

Browser based Flash games are allowed.

Don't post direct download links - instead use publisher's web page.

Try to post the size of game also. It will be useful.

This NOT a game discussion thread - so don't ask how good a or bad a game is [ or start a long discussion on a title ] - If you like the name / description / Screenshots just try it out to know for yourself


My Contribution

Little Fighter 2 v1.9

I will post some more soon. No time now.

They are both shareware (Not free). However, the original Dx Ball is free. I have posted links to free games many times before, but maybe nobody reads them or plays them. Anyways, here goes again.

Dx Ball:
*www.magicwandsoft.com/games/dxball/download.html

Choren68k:
This an incredible space shooter. It hard, and the very best ever made.
*www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~yosshin/
If you find it hard, you can find demos on this website. These demos can be autoplayed with Choren68.

Yes pallav, they are shareware games, yet they offer hours and hours of fun and addictive gameplay, so I put it on the list. It's almost as good as a full game.

@Navjot: You are doing a good job, keep it up, I will chip in when I run into a game that looks intresting.
