Open Source Games for Windows

If you are looking for freeware gaming alternatives to full priced products the osswin site at sourceforge should be what you are looking for. Games are categorized in categories like board games, first person shooter, strategy and simulator games. All games link to their producers website where you normally recieve lots of information and of course a download link to the game.

I´d like to recommend a few: Battle of Wesnoth is a Shining Force like strategy game. I loved playing all Shining Force titles on megadrive and saturn and can recommend this game to everyone who loves games like shining force and final fantasy tactics.

Privateer Gemini Gold is the inofficial successor of Privateer, a highly successful space game back in the nineties.
