Warning Forever - A space shooter that's nothing but bosses. The boss evolves to take advantage of your play style depending on where you attack it from, what guns killed you, and how you're attacking.
http://www18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/Prod/index_e.html

Burning Sand 2 - IMO, one of the best of the "falling sand" genre. This one's still in beta, but it's got a lot of features. You need a mouse with scroll wheel and middle click.

Zen Bondage - This is a really good game to chill out and calm down with. You're given a wooden block of several different shapes, and the object is to wrap string around all of the flat surfaces. It's hard to explain - watch the video on the linked page. The people who made it's page is down, but you can grab it here:

Urban Dead:
http://www.urbandead.com/

Browser-based zombie survival game I've been playing almost since it first lanched. Just as fun is the metagame aspect via its wiki, where you can influence the development of new skills, join groups (both survivor, undead, and PKer), and keep track of the city of Malton.

Just watch out for /b/.

I tried FreeCiv a while back... I didn't really get into it. Maybe I should give it another chance...

Pandemic 2 is an awesome flash game

Nexus War - An Action-Point system MMO, set on an island with portals to five different planes, each quite substantial. There are three tiers of levels, each with three different Alignments (Unaligned, Good, and Evil), and shitloads of skills.

The main focus of the game is clan combat. You can play as a loner, but large-sized factions get the benefits of a safehouse, a place to store items, and attribute bonuses. There's an honor system that mainly depends on a giant game of capture the flag with other clans - break into their base, kill all their members, and you can steal their flag.

The only problem is that unless you really like playing in clans, the game easily drops into an exercise in grinding door repairs and books read.

  Shit Game
http://doomlaser.com/downloads/shitgame.zip

A few great games.

First off is Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe. (Win, Lin, OS X)

OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

http://www.openttd.org/ - Game Site
http://rapidshare.com/files/9766412/Transport_Tycoon_Deluxe_for_Windows.zip - Data files required for the game

Next is Armagetron Advanced (Win, Lin, OS X)

"A Tron clone in 3D"
This has been the tagline of Armagetron, since, well, a very long time, and is probably the shortest and most accurate description possible. Tron was an arcade game based on the movie of the same name, release by Disney in 1982. The original game consisted of 4 sub-games, the only one of concern is the 'Light Cycles' one, in which the player uses a left/right joystick to control a 'Light Cycle' which leaves a wall behind it wherever the cycle it goes, turning only at 90 degree angles...

http://armagetronad.net/

And finally Allegiance (Win only)

Allegiance is a free, online, multi-player space simulation game. You pilot spacecraft, flying in a team with other players, defending and attacking sectors in space. Allegiance challenges your tactical ingenuity, your ability to function in a team and your prowess at blowing stuff up. Experienced players take command and lead their teams to victory or defeat.

http://www.freeallegiance.org/

http://gamedata.box.sk/_extra/syobon-action.zip

Along the same lines of IWBTG. Amusing platformer.

http://www.insmod.net/

Insurgency, a pretty good HL2 mod. Basically a poor man's BF2 without vehicles (yet). Still in beta. Requires a Steam account and Half Life 2 installed.

http://homepage3.nifty.com/ysflight/fromauthor/e2008.html

YSFlight, a nice flight simulator. Very simple graphics. There are websites out there dedicated to modding new planes (if you use the term "planes" liberally) which is a plus.

>>269
Okay, I have no idea how to properly install this game.

Well if Urban Dead and Nexus Wars is up here, why not?

http://galava.net/

Galava is a browser based, Medieval themed, nation building simulator. The game is still in a form of Beta with a global reset coming up.

The game allows you to build an Empire complete with Provinces as well as three different kinds of units along with siege units or even an Arcanus to cast spells. Players can join with others to form guilds and declare war upon each other with their units.

Playing only require minutes a day.

Anon has made their appearance in this and similar games. In this one, they are known as KRJ.

NationStates-http://nationstates.net/

How would you govern your country? Like a king or like a fool, like a dictator or like a anarchist, well now you can.

Unfortunetly it's really community based now, RPing and war only work through RP and as such it is kinda lame when you're waiting for shit to start rolling.

Can't believe I forgot this one.
http://www.synthetic-reality.com/wosHome.htm

Well of Souls is an MMORPG that, while lacking in graphic quality, is surprisingly addictive. You choose from a variety of classes to fight monsters and other players if you are so inclined. You can even make your own custom sprites if you look up the tutorial on how. And all the music is in midi form and it can be easily be replaced with other midis so you can listen to your own songs. If you're a talented programmer, you can make your own maps and quests.

Direct link to Bunny Must Die. I think it's a sister game to "Chelsea and the 7 Devils."

http://www20.cds.ne.jp/~murasame/games/bmd.htm

It's all in Japanese, but it basically plays like the newer Castlevania games. Tough little platformer that uses multiple weapons and time rewinding.

You may need to switch to Japanese on applocale to play it properly.

Quick note on getting started: After you beat the first boss you can rewind time, use this to get past the gate you start near that only opens for one second.

Trilby's Note kinda stands out a bit since rather than pointing and clicking on things, you need to type in your actions like a text-adventure. Kinda sucks if you forget some character's names....

http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/notes/

The gameplay in Trilby's Notes was a pain in the ass to develop so he went back to regular point and click for the final installment.

http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/6days/

Finally, there's 1213, a pretty cool psychological sci-fi thriller about a man known only as 1213 who can't remember shit about himself and is repeatedly put through dangerous hazard courses....then his cell door opens for no reason one day and things quickly go south.

http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/1213/

yume nikki is a game with almost no gameplay. you play as a girl who refuses to go outside at all. she sleeps. she explores her dream world. she records them in her diary.

it may be the most bizarre game you will ever play.

Rosenkreuz Stilette

Do you like Megaman? Do you like cute anime girls? Then this game may be something for you. It's basically a Megaman clone, some stages even have the same layout as some of the MM series, but you can see it as a homage of kinds. The difficulty is insane though, especially since the last password only takes you to the first of the 8 last levels Wily style.

There IS a story. But sadly no translation (yet). Doesn't matter that much anyway since the plot dialogue can be turned off by playing Arcade Mode. As for the graphics: Characters are decently done with sprites, and the backgrounds are pretty awesome too for a doujin game.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ro6oxwbq

So I got dragged back into Urban Dead somehow. The details aren't exactly clear in my head, but after basically vanishing from the game in May I've been brought back.

http://www.urbandead.com

Very basic, text-based browser adventure with low-level graphics. Downloading the UDToolbar attachment streamlines the somewhat clunky interface and gives shiny new graphics, but the whole appeal is in the userbase, which is extensive and very well-developed.

It takes a lot of work and a while to get into, but the results and community make the work worthwhile. Community is centered around the Wiki, which lays out the game in detail and is where a big chunk of the user interaction takes place. Wiki is linked from the main site.

If you're interested in doing philanthropic work in a small area, head over to the Dulston suburb after signing up and ask for the ELT- or for that matter any of the Dulston Alliance groups. They'll help you get started off right.

PS it's easiest to start out as a fireman because your fireaxe does decent damage and doesn't run out of ammo; you'll gain enough experience to get all other class skills soon enough anyway.

Kinda fun in a keep-coming-back-every-ten-minutes sort of way, though the forums seem to be full of people who love it so much they spend their paychecks on points. It's much harder to improve your ship if you're not willing to spend IRL gold on it, but at least you have your pride.

Remember the sidescrolling Bowser bits in Paper Mario 2? Well, somebody decided to be cool and make 2 games based around them! The first allows for play as both Bowser and Kammy Koopa (and has a secret level!), while G.R.O.M. focuses more on Bowser.

There are some other games I myself enjoy (Super Mario Storm, Yoshi VS. Windows), but they're more of forum games, so you'd probably not get 'em unless you were a long-time member. It's easy to look around and find some you might like. Well, that's enough plugging websites for me.

Namely the Yetis in the obligatory ice world.
At first I thought they were cute.
But now I hate them. I hate their wet, smelly fur, I hate their little blue nipples, and I especially hate the way they throw me against a wall, only for me to rebound back at the same angle so they can throw me again, and again, and again in an infinite loop.
The only thing I can find to love about them is the way their blood splatters on the floor when I stomp on them.
