This is extension of my 4 games for free post. I think this is where rabbit was wanting us to put them.

Anyway here ya'll go and enjoy.

I'm not sure if the downloader is needed for these. If it is, then there will be adds. They state if you buy a premium account then the ads go away and download capacity increases to 30gigs a month. The 4 from the other post shouldn't need the downloader.

I can vouch for Full Spectrum warrior because I bought it a few years ago when it had been reduced to a budget title. It's still a good squad based shooter even though the graphics are a little dated now (though not seriously).

I would have posted this in the game sdiscussion thread though as that's where most of the games are posted. I think this section is meant to be for applications; though I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Quest for Glory, Refuel Rampage and Jello Cars were on my list of weekday games, though I'll still post them in a few months time. :)

Thanks for the others, I'll check them out sometime soon. (There's so many free games I don't know why I pay for them anymore, lol (though I suppose I pay for the graphics)

regards

Stephen

I wasn't sure about placement.The layout is kind of confusing.When I found the first 4,I put them games discussion and then I noticed this one. Now that I've rested, it does make more sense to put the games in the discussion than here and leave this for software.

Had terrible headache that I couldn't shake? We had a cold front blow in a couple of days ago and its just been killing me. Are you a human barometer to?

I know what you mean about the games, but then your not trying the newest and your playing old technology, not that their bad. This computer I built specifically for gaming and you you just can't push it with the old games.
If I was smart I would play the demos first before buying them. I bought the Devil May Cry4 a few months ago and then Warhammer Online.Warhammer is ok, but not impressive. Devil may cry isn't bad, but don't waste your money.
Lich king comes out next month and that keep ,me going till Diablo 3 comes out. That is what I'm what for. They are killing me not putting a possible release date. Then there's Stargate World which looks like a blast.
Ahhh, so many games so little time.

So much for those 4 games I listed not having ads. Stinking Airforce ads. you know annoying people isn't the way to get people to join. I can see placing them at front and even when you close, but at save points is a little to much. Still its for free, so I can't complain to much.
I think a better way for them to go about it, is to do what the army did and create their own game. Heck they could even merge it with America's Army somehow by adding air support for the troops. They could call it America's Airforce.lol

That sounds like a cool idea lol. I used to love playing America’s Army and thought how cool it was that they were part of the project.

I've not got into Diablo or WoW, much preferring FPS games over those styles of game; though I do have some similar games such as Hard to be a God. (That’s the only one I can think of at the moment lol) I'm still massively into Oblivion at the moment to the exclusion of all my other games (apart from a couple of arcade game called Peggle Nights and 4 Elements - I used to use arcade games as a break from my online play and other larger games, but since the accident they have figured a lot more simply because they are easier to play). I'm just about to order Bethesda’s new title called Fallout 3, which looks amazing, and what I've read of the game play is a big improvement on Oblivion (though there's no comparing them really). In the meantime I'm waiting for the latest Brothers in Arms title Road to Hell that I originally ordered last December. It was scheduled for release last March and has been knocked back several times.

Would one of you guys start a thread for little old ladies? The ones with time to kill and very few coumputer skills but who still would like to play a few free games? I liked Snowy's lunch rush but lost it when computer went belly up. I don't have much money so have very few resources to purchase games. I enjoy reading your reviews WR...even if I don't understand half of the computer lingo....Most of the games mentioned lately are above my poor little machine's resources...too much graphics I guess plus the size if the downloads are above what I can get on dialup....
I live in southern Louisiana USA...we have had terrible storms last few years and I live so far back in the woods....Dial up has a hard time getting out sometimes...lol... Just spent four weeks with no electric....lol...Let alone computer Tv Etc...ALL WELL THO.....we are well except for bug bites and sweaty nights!!!COLD showers do help tho///.....lol....God bless to all that prayed for us...Hope rest of the world Feels as blessed
Please post a few small games for us old people who cannot keep up with all the arrows and bombs and cyber links you kids post........thanks for listening

Widow...you can get scads of free games, of all different types - match-3's, hidden objects, platform games i.e. Snowys..., and more - to play at mostfun.com. I don't know the size of the downloads but there are probably a bunch that are small enough for dial-up. Like I said though, they are free to play when, and for how long, you want to play them. There are brief ads you have to watch at various times during before, during, and after game play, upon shutting it down, but they don't interrupt while you're playing - they are shown between levels.

Widow, bless your heart. We got your leftover storms up here and they still had the power to kill the lights and flood my basement. I know everyone here was worried about all you folks down south. You've got a great attitude and it is a real pleasure to see you here and posting.
Go here for small, free games to try:

I can bet that you will find something to play and like. Let us know what you prefer to play and we'll help you look around. There are lots of free games, and the people here know where they are hiding out!:)))

Hi Widow of Turkey,

Sorry to hear of all the troubles you've had to suffer. I live in a cosseted world where the worst weather comes nowhere near as vicious as what you get on a yearly basis.

Another place to go for great arcade games of the snowy type is http://gametop.com , there’s at least 40+ free full version games that are usually sold elsewhere. The only price you pay is having your browser opened when you shut the game down. That is easily remedied by shutting it down, with no malware or viri installed.

As Idahl and RosnSC say, both those sites mentioned by them have masses of free games of all genres and sizes. You're bound to find something you like.

Take care

Regards

Stephen
