I always forget about the great little flash games and
suchlike that people post here, so I thought I'd make a
thread where people can stick that kind of thing and I'll be
able to find it. I'll get things started with
Polish-online-multiplayer-superfun-shoot-em-up
Soldat. I've been playing this on and off for a few
days and I'm enjoying it immensely despite the fact that
every fucker is so damn good half of the time I'm dead
before I can choose my weapons.

Soldat sounds interesting. Thanks for the link, man. <3.

Good thread idea as well.

Was going to submit an abstract puzzle flash game thing, but
it appears the link has been taken down, and the subsequent
google search was fruitless as well. :(

Allowed to mention Abandonware? I don't really know much
about freeware games, I can't remember most of the names.

I love abandonwear, it's like playing freeware with really
high production values (in a lot of cases). What game(s)
were you going to recommend?

I'd just like to mention Instant Action. A site which is in
its beta phase that offers streaming multiplayer 3D gaming
for free. Theres a couple of decent games up at the moment
with a first person shooter from the makers of Tribes
currently at the private beta testing stage. Some of the
next generation of games that will be available to play on
there will be backed by some pretty big studios and
developed with some high end tech like the Unreal engine.
One to watch for sure.

Cave Story i beat this game just last week and i'd have
to say it's one of the best free games ive played.

Knytt and Knytt Stories. real nice, kinda ambient,
platformer games :)

Ad Nauseam 2 crazy shoot em up with heaps of shit flying
around and harsh acid music :D

Dyson

''Dyson is an ambient real-time strategy game with abstract
visuals.

Remotely command semi-autonomous self-replicating mining
machines to take over an entire asteroid belt.''

brilliant game with the same type of lush ambient sound
atmosphere as knytt.
