The Best Free Online (in-browser or downloadable) Games

o hi dere, its a download, but how does online kart racing grab you http://kart.nexon.net/Download/Client.aspx

I played KongKongSEA for a long time. It is a jump racing game with attack items and tiles on the ground that give you boost and direction changes.

as for rpgs I found:
The Spirit Engine
Triglaw -only works in certain browsers
flash rpgs: Sinjid Shadow of the Warrior, Swords and Sandals 2 (need full version to save), Bleach Training 2

Everyone should play the Knytt Stories level "Don't Eat the Mushroom"

PathPix and more. The demos will take you several hours to complete each.

Question:

Is the music for this game the worst music of all time?

HINT: Wait until the programmer's 15 year old girlfriend starts singing before you make your final decision.

The singing starts about 120 seconds in. Actually, to clarify, it's not the worst music ever, it's the worst Bjork imitation ever, and the worst lyrics ever.

EVER!

It's a real rekkid, not the programmer's girlfriend.

Is Grid Wars the same as Geometry Wars, or does it just look the same?

I've been trying to download the free game Perfect Cherry Blossom, but everywhere I can find it, it's a .lzh file, which I can't get my computer to unzip correctly for some reason (maybe because it's an old file and the new versions of winzip and similiar programs don't recognize it correctly?). Anybody here know what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do to be able to pay this amazing looking game?

Here's a clip...

LZH is a very old archive format rarely used anymore, but Winzip should work. I just downloaded the demo (which I guess you have) to see, it should work with WinRar or 7-Zip. Grab the English patch here if you want to read the hyper-cutesy character dialogue, profiles and such.

Thanks Nhex - I got it to work finally using WinRAr. Pretty crazy shooter on normal - I can't imagine the harder difficulties. The hit point is pretty small, mercifully...

I can't figure out how to get past the 10th level on this thing:

Did I say 10, I meant 15th.

Hyper Frame makes me feel like a puzzle MORAN on only the fourth level of the easy mode. how in the fuck can you connect them???

But I really like that they recorded a theme song with vocals for their game.

polyphonic - I was stuck for a minute too, I realized I had bypassed a switch on a much lower level....

Has it been mentioned already? The original Crayon Physics demo (five or six levels) is well worth checking out. Very cool & I'm looking forward to the deluxe version. The first download mirror site didn't work for me, but the second did

Holy crap, that cursor game is a brilliant idea.

By the way, I hate this pj character for bringing up the topic of Desktop Tower Defense, which in the days since I opened this thread has consumed half the free hours of my life. AUGH.

Slashdot article linking to 101 free games list.

i particular like the sound of 'Lonely House Moving'

yeah i can't do level 15 either - i feel like i know what i should do, but it doesn't work

Figured it out! Doctor Casino's advice is the key.

FINALLY beat the medium level on Desktop Tower Defense. With that I must swear never to ever open that game again. Jesus.

I love those 101 free games lists. I'm glad there is a new one.

For those of you who loved Sid Meier's Pirates there's a Flash version:

Is anyone else having trouble with the download of Command & Conquer? It's really slow for me!

Like Desktop Tower Defense?

oh man:

I got on a roll and got 31. It's fun to play without looking at the screen, too. The best I can do that way is 15.

Good grief, Vector TD consumed half my weekend.

It's really fucking great. I can't beat any of the Hard maps though. :/

Haven't tried any Hard ones yet -- do enemies give out even less money than on intermediate?

I think it's close to the same amount, but the maps don't double back much (if at all), so if you don't get them with your first or second group of towers, you're fucked. It's pretty hard to even get through the first five waves.

just spent an hour playing the enjoyably goofy ROM CHECK FAIL

NetHack is still my fave free game.

Tried playing the hell out of a load of abandonware games this weekend, but lots didn't work due to that old fast memory error from days of old or they were just too darn fast (magic carpet woah).

psycho pinball was there but it ran too slow, so i'd gotten the taste for it and immediately had to get hold of genesis emu and rom. Such a great pinball game

and now remember how fucking annoying driving in the first gta game was.

okay in psycho pinball what the heck am i supposed to be doing in the whale mouth game? i can grab crabs, but is there a point?

I've heard of getting a virus from software, but crabs?

i can grab crabs, but is there a point?

My life summed up.

These Kenta Cho games don't seem to have been mentioned...
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/index_e.html

My favorites so far are PARSEC47, rRootage, Titanion, Noiz2sa

oh man rRootage was my life for a while.

Yeah, love those.

OK, this one is a bit different than most:

At first it's hilariously bad. Then if you stick with it for a few minutes, you can figure out how to go forward a few meters. One time, everything clicked and I was running like Carl Lewis. Then I was immediately shifted back to running like Corky.

16.4m

Best way to get started that I've figured out:

hold O until both feet are lined up, then hold W get moving forward.

You know what, yes, that was totally spoilery. Hidden now.

aw cheers tbf i was half and half whether i'm gonna play it at all but i read your post before i'd got home and thought "ok that's the punchline" lol

playing it now, still worth it, 5.0/5.0

another good one from the samr site

(the downpour thing is from the same person that did Cheap Bots Done Quick, the twitter bot meta thing that let people like me write twitter bots. that's their thing - tools to enable other people to create things. so Downpour is the platform and each individual game is just uploaded by pretty much anybody - you can make such games on your phone)

Oh god I assumed based on the url that it was going to be some awful Madeleine McCann thing. Thankfully it's not.
