Freeware and OSS Games
A totally non-comprehensive list of freely available PC games.
This list exists for no reason other than to alleviate me from having to remember all of the free/OSS games that I either have played, want to play, was recommended to play, read about somewhere, or vaguely overheard someone talking about, maybe, while standing in line somewhere.
If a game isn't on this list that means nothing more than that it doesn't match any of the above criteria, and is in no way, shape, or form, an indictment of the game's quality or reputation.
Also, this list is decidedly Linux-biased, which shouldn't be surprising since this entire website is decidedly Linux-biased.
