Angband - The spiritual descendent of the Rogue-like game, Moria. This is a "graphical" random dungeon, turn based game. You are represented by an '@' and the monsters in the dungeon are represented by letters (S = spiders, R = reptile, c = canine, o = orc, h = humanoid, H = giant humanoid). You can find potions (!), scrolls (?), rings (=), weapons (variously represented by the pipe and slashes). It is basically a Tolkien themed, single person, turn based, random dungeon game. And there are dozens of variations including sci-fi, Zelazney's Amber series.... etc.

Betrayal at Krondor - The CLASSIC rpg from Sierra in 1993 is available for free. When Sierra released their horrible quasi sequel Betrayal in Antara (no relation to the Krondor storyline) they released Krondor for free. It was about a 12 meg zip file to download. I know it can be found on the web still. While its an 11 year old dos game, BaK is one of the best RPG's ever made. Also, it was a very early try at being 3d (polygonal landscapes and mountains) and the graphics really, aren't that bad.

Icy Towers - This game is so basic, but I am stuck playing it! I love the theme music too.
Elastomania! - This is only a demo, but this is by far one of the most addicting and frustrating games I've ever seen. I got my Neices & Nephew hooked on it.
Clickomania! - I lub teh computar intarweb machen. A good puzzle game, has so many configuration options. I play for a week then change up the settings to make it like a whole new game.

Ultima IV - Arguably the best ultima game of all. If you have not played it and you like RPGs, you MUST play this game. It runs in DOS, but I think it works ok in a DOS box on modern versions of windows. I had a job once where I had to sit around for weeks waiting for something to break - passed the time with Ultima IV (and V which I owned).

Racer - A free cross-platform car simulation project (for non-commercial use), using professional car physics papers to achieve a realistic feeling. Cars, tracks and such can be created relatively easy (compared to other, more closed, driving simulations). Editors and support programs are also available to get a very customizable and expandable simulator. OpenGL is used for rendering. Pretty good simulation, with quite an established user-base, and lots of 3rd party cars/tracks.
