Free/Opensource games that keep me busy

SecondLife.com Second Life is a great MMORPG that allows massive importing and lot of other fun stuff. In game cash has real world value, become a tycoon in game and sell the money for real money. Needs a credit card for use but is free, but no home.

 

Narbacular drop is cool. Too bad its only what, 4 levels? And buggy? Well...for what it is (a concept) its awesome.

Another one (text based):Colossal Cave Adventure. My prof told us about it yesterday when he named a variable in a program "xyzzy" which is a magical word in the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyzzy

Anyone mention ET: Wolfenstein?

Lastly...:

www.americasarmy.com (not the best game ever...but for free, its pretty good.)


Edit: sadly, second life is also full of sickos.

 

Planetside

Runescape ( i dont play it, but its free)
http://www.runescape.com/

any games your smart enough to pirate.

 

That may be fun as all hell, but your smart if you use a real torrent and be a real torrenter. Not some crap pre-made app with a built in search engine that I currently forgot the name of! Yea torrents are fun.


ERROR
I meant torrents are bad, and to show my shame I will not remove this message since this is what you SHOULDN'T do!

 

Well, after about a hundred tries I gave up on Gunz If anyone knows how to get it running I'd appreciate some help.

 

I know this can be overlooked, have you fixed your ports on the router?

 

Yup. I can use torrents fine, but when Gunz says its torrenting all the files it stops at about 94%. I hear a lot of people have the same problem, but I haven't encountered any effective solutions.

 

don't suppose you know what files you need? =o

 

UPDATE: Apparently, FEAR has it's multiplayer game totally free, now.

 

Looks like the tracker in guns drops people at 94%... reallly wierd; try downloading that torrent file again (DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING, JUST RUN THE TORRENT FILE AGAIN) Sometimes that refreshes the tracker...

 

Yeah. When you get a good game running, it's a freakin' blast. People work together, hold points, assault rooms, take cover... Heavenly.

 

With guns, your best bet is to get a 3rd party torrent app and start the file from teh game directory. worked for me.

 

I've not played FEAR MP much...when I did though I never got teamwork..

 

Yeah, I tried that about 8 times. It would start at about 85-90%, then just stop around 94.

 

I'm bloody bored right now, and none of these seem entertaining. Any games I should pirateor or dl? Keep me occupied till I get enough money for wii

 

i conclude the whole concept of "stargate" came from marathon as well.
i mean, those gua'uld and there jaffa sticks are exactly the same.

i can admit i played runescape as well, though not as much as some friends who payed for it.
lvl 54

great games - civiliation 2
- settlers 2
- transport tycoon deluxe
- sim tower

Farcry
Fear
UT2k4
or just play HL2 again
and again
and again

 

get a gba emulator and play some advance wars

 

Hmmmm.
I find it funny we keep saying COMPLETELY legal stuff and nothing has happened.

 

Check out the games in the bargin bin. There might still be a treasure or two you have yet to play. Recently I bought GTA: Libery City Stories for the PS2 & NeverWinter Nights: Diamond for the PC, I can tell you right now that these two game will last me a while, or at least until New Years.
