| Post links to the best free games you've found. Here's mine so far.
UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-COM)
http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=4966
Voted by IGN.com the best PC game of all time. Known for it's strategic depth, legendary difficulty and suspenseful battles. You are in charge of the organization known as X-COM, which is tasked with defending the earth from Alien incursion, and must manage everything from the base infrastructure to funding to commanding squads of men. Very fun and very comprehensive.
Master of Magic
http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=687
While a bit clunky and requiring a DOS emulator, this game is a rather comprehensive strategy game. it plays like a cross between civilization and heroes of might and magic, and that is definately not a bad thing. While a bit limited by modern standards, it is a worthwhile play for any tbs buff.

| Bah. War Rock is better.
And Battlefield: Heroes has the potential to beat them both.

| Cave Story definitely deserves mention. It's the best 2D adventure-ish game I've ever played.
Someone put that game on their top ten list, although I now forget who. Oblivion, I think. |

| War Rock was so bad, it gave my soul cancer, you can't even reaggrange half the controls.

| War Rock couldn't work for me, due to no Ausfalian servers.
Warsow is a very win game in comparison. |
