Inspired by Gnome’s Oh no more hand-picked free games I decided to create the mother load of free games. A List that contains every single free game that is worth playing. I’m absolutely sure that my initial list will miss many games but it will grow over time - with your help. I know that you have an ace up your sleeve and will help me create the list.
For now, enjoy what we have collected so far and add any valuable entry in the comments. I will take a look and add it to the list. I decided to create a few categories which makes it easier to take a look at the list. Please note that I did not include so called Abondonware in the list. You might need Dos Box to run some of the games in windows.
