I thought it might be a good idea to create a comprehensive list of all the decent freeware/flash/other games available on the world wide web - after all, everyone loves something for nothing! Post with your contributions and I'll add to the list down below.

Name: Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Website: [URL="http://enemy-territory.4players.de:1041/"]Wolfenstein.de[/URL]
Comments: My favourite freeware online game. Originally meant as an expansion pack for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it's a WW2 squad-based shooter, similar in many ways to Counter Strike. Great fun.
Name: America's Army

Comments: Similar to Wolfenstein: ET and Counter Strike, though it's a much fatter download than ET, and requires fairly modern specs to run well.
Name: Maple Story

Comments: A fun MMORPG - and it's a sidescroller! I found it great fun, but like most MMOs, it can get a tad repetitive from time to time. And even crap computers can run it with relative ease!
Name: RuneScape
Website: [URL="http://www.runescape.com/"]RuneScape.com[/URL]
Comments: A huge MMORPG - with very basic graphics. Although it isn't quite my thing, it definitely appeals to the masses.
Name: Grand Theft Auto & Grand Theft Auto II
Website: [URL="http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/"]Rockstar.com[/URL]
Comments: The classic top-down versions of the now number-one crime game. Great, especially if you haven't played them before.
Name: OGame

Comments: Germany's biggest MMORPG is one of galactic proportions, and a must for Empire at War fans. You begin with one planet, and can set up another ten. Surprisingly in-depth - alliances, trade routes, hyperspace, space fleets, defense outposts and space probes are all an integral part of this huge game.

Comments: Set up your own country, and take decisions to shape the future of your nation. Everything's in there, from designing flags to debating the legalisation of cannabis...

With classic, top-down "Asteroids" like view, yet gameplay mechanics unlike anything before, Escape Velocity was the game that put Ambrosia on the map. The third game in the series has much better graphics than it's predicessors, and as usual, plenty of mods. Not only that, this also works for the PC... just be sure to eventually register, or Captain Hector(the real character, not me) will own you... personally.
nice list
The Elder Scrolls: Arena

[url=http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/downloads_games.htm]elderscrolls.com[/url]
The first game in the highly praised series. Nonlinear real-time RPG adventure, released in 1994. Features full 3D graphics and the core Elder Scrolls game play. Join guilds, plunder dungeons, recover precious treasures, or just kill everybody you meet (not recommended).
Explore the entire island of Tamriel. Unrivaled in size and scope.
Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/zen3/rehosted/starcontrol2.jpg[/IMG]
[url=http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php]sc2.sourceforge.net[/url]
Expansive space adventure featuring hundreds of planets to explore. Interact with the various alien races so they can join your cause in the fight against the dreaded Ur-Quan masters. Find distant solar systems and mine for rare minerals to customize your mothership to become an unstopable vessel of annihilation!
Exciting real-time 2D space combat (similiar to Space War). KOTOR style "story changing decision making" (can affect the outcome of the game).
Has over 100 hours of spoken dialog. Very well written and entertaining storyline.
