Best Free Downloadable PC Games: We've compiled 25 of the best free downloadable games that the PC has to offer. You won't have to worry about getting DOSBox to play any of these games, either!
Dwarf Fortress is the only game on this list to favor a text user interface over graphics. It’s critically regarded as being one of the most intensive economic and strategic simulations to ever exist. Fortunately for players who can’t get used to the game’s text interface, there are a number of graphical mods that make it not only accessible, but even more enjoyable to play.
Battle for Wesnoth is a free downloadable turn-based game in the same vein as classics like Panzer General and Fantasy General, where battles take place on a hex map. Loosely based on the Sega Genesis title Warsong, Wesnoth is an open source strategy game with very simple rules yet remains both challenging and fun thanks to its strong AI.
Simutrans is an open source remake of Transport Tycoon, where the player strives to run a successful transport system by setting up railroads, travel routes and mass transit.
Tyrian is without question one of the best top-scrolling shooters to ever exist on the PC, standing among the likes of Raptor and Raiden 2. Tyrian differs from the competition with its story-intensive single player campaign and RPG-like elements, as players can upgrade their craft with all kinds of weaponry. Players can even ditch their existing craft for all new ships. Thanks to the open sourcing of the game, fans have made it possible to play Tyrian natively on both Windows and OSX platforms in high resolution.
OpenTTD is a remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. As an urban planning and transport simulation, the player’s goal is to earn profit through the transportation of passengers and freight by land, water and air. OpenTTD offers a multitude of customizations and even supports multiplayer gaming through LAN and Internet.
