Hello everyone,
I though that the off-topic forum needed a Freeware game thread so i am making one.
Rules: you can post a game, but the post has to have a short review of the game and at least 1 screen shot (no more than 5 pls) and a dl site link, and the game has to be fully free, no demos
Ok, i will start with 3 games:
Cave Story:
So. Doukutsu Monogatari (Cave Story in japanese) is this tremendously good, freeware computer game. I can't praise it enough. You've heard of it by now, I'm sure, but if you haven't, go here. Follow the link to download the game now, use WinRAR to extract the lzh file, follow the other link to download the translation patch, install that once you have it, and then proceed to lose yourself for several hours. Go do this right now. If you don't think you need it, you are not thinking correctly. You need it. Satisfy that need now, then come back here. edit:
you can dl the installer on the site!

Nikujin:
Nikujin is a bit of an oddity. It was created by a person known as ‘Ikiki’. And that’s everything I know about the creator, except that he created one of my favourite 2D-platformers. In Nikujin you play a ninja, who’s goal is to progress through a ninja fortress of increasing difficulty, utilising your ninja skills to ensure your survival. There’s no real tutorial to the game, so to run through quickly, the arrow keys are your directional movements, Shift is jump and Ctrl is your sword attack. Now, whilst this game looks simple, especially given it’s incredibly basic style, the gameplay gets a little more complicated.
This game is in Japanese, experiment with different options in the menue

Tumiki Fighters:
Control your ship and destroy enemies. The ship is destroyed when it is hit by a bullet. The body of the enemy has no collision damage.
You can catch the enemy's broken piece. Pieces are stuck to your ship and counterattack to enemies. You can also earn the bonus score by keeping many pieces stuck. Stuck pieces are destroyed when they touch a enemy's bullet.
While holding a slow key, the ship becomes slow and the ship direction is fixed. Stuck pieces are pulled in and you can prevent a crash of them, but the bonus score reduces to one fifth. Enemy's pieces are not stuck while holding this key.

well thats it you can post your own games, and discuss existing game, thanks for reading. :P
also note that some games' screen-shots might be outdated and not work, its helps googling for good games. I test all the games that I post and know that they dont have any spyware or malaware.
