As always, great job, loving a lot of games listed so far. I remember getting that Hero Quest a while ago and losing it, so it was great to find it again!

A suggestion: Would it be worth it to have a section for web based or browser based games? I would love something to do when I'm bored at work. Do sites like Kongregate take care of that for people or are there other options out there?

Megazell's Top Pick
Madness Reloaded
Megazell's Top Pick

Shooter/Platformer
Single Player - No
Multiplayer - Yes

Theme: Science Fiction

After alot of work it's finally here, the sequel to Madness 4 Lethal Tournaments. This game is pure multiplayer based; so get yourself a mate, choose some weapons to play with and pick one of the 11 zones. Now go spammin' your opponent with the most brutal weapons; or choose to be the sneaky man and dispatch the guy with rifles and knifes.

Yeah, it's all there, even chain combo's and other kinds of combo's to achieve (burning combo, musket mortars, ninja style and others)! There are some extras to be found and there are all sorts of tricks with the gameplay to spice up the fight! Split screen goodness!

Megazell's Comment - Vista has a issue with latency in this game. Be warned.

Non mmorpgs

More action rpgs
More adventure games

Yes, I think so. Even if it doubled up categories, it would be an easy way to find something to do at work.

Yeah, I would say you've hit your MMO quoto, Mega.

I prefer the single-player stuff, myself.

-3rd/1st person survival horror games.
-3rd person action/adventure games featuring melee combat
-racing games with weird premises (Twisted Metal-esque). If the cars blow up good, I'm all for it.
-games that have gone abandonware. I love a good retail production value.

If the game is abandonware that means it most likely does not work with modern tech...I won't be posting those. The MUGEN errors some people are getting are more than enough for me.

I would check out the MMORPG section for now. Everything else must be installed to run.

I was thinking about sub section for each genre but it would take too much time for me organize and post.

Maybe one day when I have a few hours to kill at an air port or something I could do it.

Agreed.

DDO - IMO is the best MMORPG for me. Now they upgraded the system with a new casual mode for solo players...it's gold!

Thread Update!

400 Games!

Thanks for the input people.

There are a slew of games to come. I will be cutting back on MMORPGs from here on out.

Now, if you are playing a free and legal MMORPG and think it's worth a gander...feel free to mention it here and I will give it a whirl to see if it's worth posting.

I am going to be making a 'Back To The Main List' button so that every post with games has a quick link back to genre list. I am not a graphic expert so if anyone wants to donate some art for the button link...PM me Otherwise it's going to be Mspaint goodness

This Sunday I would like to have FPS night with Nexuiz or AVA @ 9:00 PM EST - Let me know if you are down for that.

Ahriman's Prophecy

RPG
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No
Netbook Friendly

Theme: Fantasy

Amaranth Productions proudly introduces Ahriman´s Prophecy, a beautiful fantasy world doomed to be destroyed by the demon, Ahriman. In a desperate attempt to stop the prophecy, the Daughters of Light send you, a young but powerful magic wielder, on a difficult quest to unlock the secrets of the prophecy and hopefully, learn how to stop it. You can find several other characters to join you on your quest, each with their own abilities and weapon options to help your party.

Forced from your secluded island village to the mainland, you embark upon an epic quest through enchanted lands filled with hostile creatures bent upon destroying you. The journey will not be easy, but through sheer will and determination, you must master your powers, your fears, and your destiny. If you falter, your village, kingdom, and world will fall into an age of darkness.

If you enjoy classic RPGs like Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger, you´re going to love Ahriman´s Prophecy.

Megazell's Top Pick
La Mulana
Megazell's Top Pick

Action/Platformer
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No
Netbook Friendly

Theme: Fantasy

La-Mulana is a PC side scrolling platformer that has an MSX style graphics and interface. The game is a traditional action-adventure game, reminiscent of the Castlevania and Metroid games. This game was originally only available in Japanese, but an English translation patch has been produced by Ian Kelley of AGTP.

Megazell's Comment - This game is EXCELLENT. Has a very old school look and feel but in a good way. The challenges in the game are many but the storyline and action deliver!

Antagonist

Action/Platformer
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No
Netbook Friendly

Theme: Other

Mr. Jonathan Whiting of Stalwart, Collateral, Love Letter - oh, a whole bunch of games really - has released a couple of smaller more prototypey sorts of games. One of these is Antagonist, and it's about running for your life from huge spinning top things that want to grind you into the ground.

The protagonist's movement is purposely awkward, with each jump slowing you down and bringing you closer to your doom. The spinning top baddies will warp into existence around you and hunt your down until you're out of reach. It's a bit tense, and well worth a play. - IndieGames.com

Karoshi 2.0

Action/Platformer
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No
Netbook Friendly

Theme: Other

The basic idea behind the original Karoshi was completely counter-intuitive to most games: in every level you must FIND A WAY TO KILL YOURSELF. It was harder than it seemed! In Karoshi 2.0, creator Jesse Venbrux extends that metaphor across 42 more levels.

Includes level editor and timed version of the original Karoshi.

Megazell's Comment - This game feels like some “I wanna be the anti-guy”, because the game keeps you from killing yourself in ways on the same hilarious-level as 'I wanna be the guy' tries to kill you.

Sooo much to look over.... Thank you for putting all of this together.

Any chance you could use an asterisk or something to mark off your top picks on the main list? It'd be cool to see your favorites right off the bat, instead of finding them after the jump.

I was talking about games you posted like Psi-Ops and Area 51 which were once full-fledged retail releases.

Those are freeware releases that were made on purpose by the developers/publishers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

Abandonware is a term used to describe computer software that is no longer sold or supported, or whose copyright ownership may be unclear for various reasons. While the term has been applied largely to older games, other classes of software (such as productivity applications or utility software) are sometimes described as such. Definitions of "abandoned" vary; generally, it refers to software no longer available for legal purchase, or of a certain age. Software companies may change their names, go bankrupt, enter into mergers, or cease to exist for a variety of reasons. When this happens, product rights are usually transferred to another company that may not sell or support the software acquired. In most cases, software classed as abandonware is not in the public domain, as it has never had its original copyright revoked. Unlike Freeware or opensource, abandonware is NOT released to be publicly released and company still owns its distributional rights.

Most abandonware sites post/upload games whose companies are no longer active. It's a murky area but 9/10 the games are not really legal and you have to tweak them to work on modern technology.

A good example of what happens with abandonware that sucks is when the company returns and makes all other existing copies of it's product 'illegal.'

Which you are going to see happen more and more with companies like GOG, STEAM, Onlive, D2D and others fighting over publishers/developers libraries in order to boast their numbers of perceived content.

Now when a game is said to be freeware it can not be unsaid (legally) to not be freeware unless the original release of freeware comes with a time stamp...like Farcry, Prince of Persia, Age of Conan...and others.
