They're shareware but I think Pocket Tanks and Super DX Ball have been on every computer of mine since 2002

Frog Fractions

I don't play it regularly, but it's fun to tell people about it.

The Chzo Mythos games. Point and click adventure series made in AGS.

I first played 5 Days A Stranger when it was out, and it was my favourite adventure game.

Then 7 Days A Skeptic, which was basically more of the same and I thought it was very cool.

After that is Notes, which is a text parser instead of point and click. Still a lot of fun, but I always use the guide to help myself in parts.

Last one was 6 Days A Sacrifice, which I don’t remember very well, I haven’t played it as much as the other games.

Also the same guy made a game called 1213, which I loved. It played more like Flashback, cinematic platformer style.

Desert strike? Not sure if it was free tho. Also road rash

The SNES game published by EA based loosely on the Gulf War? I'm pretty sure that one was payware.

Neither were free, both were amazing
