<p> </p>
<p>RoR - Rigs of Rods - A physics-based vehicle simulator.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>UFO: Alien Defense - Based on that great old game that had everyone checking their hallways for aliens every night.  Probably the best game EVER from that time era.  (the original, I mean)  This remake has updated graphics, but very similar gameplay.</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are lots of abandonware games sites.  Another good, but not free site with tons of old games is Good Old Games, or GOG.  Most games are super cheap, though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Freespace 2, for example, probably the best space combat sim ever, only costs $6 on there, for example.</p>

<p>I like card games too. Most of the new games remind me of cartoons. Don't care much for games with animated characters.</p>

<blockquote><p>This thread has the potential to be a darn good one, if I can help make it that way, great!
</p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
 </p>
<p>SEEMS to be a good idea - at the moment, BUT, when thread gets to 8, 15, 100+ pages, trying to find that gem you saw a while back (but didn't get round to it) will be a tedious exercise. <img src="/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-frown.gif" alt="Frown" /><br />
Don't even bother to do a search on dotTech, this I have found does not return particularly great results, as you are most likely to get more frustrated.</p>
<p>Whilst I appreciate the good intention behind this idea, and some of the links / games already mentioned, I do not believe this to be the best avenue for discourse. Sorry for this dampener.</p>
<p>It might be more usefull to have a databased repository of comments, including links and cross-references etc. to make it a truly searchable and more user-friendly source of information. Such <span style="color: #0000ff">places may already exist (the one mentioned oft on GAOTD by Whiterabbit comes to mind) and it is to these that I suggest <strong>this topic might best be limited to making references thereto</strong>.</span></p>
<p>In that way, this thread might be kept to a more manageable handfull of pages only.</p>

Cool thanks, I had forgotten about this one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A really fun game to play is called Freespace 2.  While not technically free (costs $5.99 on GoG) there is an open source project that will install over the retail install and bring the graphics into the 21st century, as well as add new ships, campaigns, etc . . .</p>
<p> </p>
<p> If 6 buck is still too much for you then you might want to look into a Freespace 2 SCP TC (total conversion), which means it's standalone, you don't need to install it over a retain version.  The best one IMHO is called Babylon Project.  Google it.  Play it.  Freespace 2 has been rated consistently as the best Space Combat Sim EVER.</p>
<p>It's the only one I've played (besides SW Battlefront 2), but I can see why people like it so much, it's great!  One of my favourite games EVER!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, yeah, people.  Buy it.  It's worth more than $6, even without the source code project update.  With the update they should be charging $40 for it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(No, I don't work for GoG, I just love this game)</p>
