To celebrate Command and Conquer’s 12th anniversary, EA released the first installment of the series, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn for free.
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn is the first game of the Tiberian series as well as of the Command & Conquer franchise in its entirety, telling the story of a three year struggle between two warring factions; the UN-backed Global Defense Initiative and the ancient quasi-religious terrorist organization known as the Brotherhood of Nod.
Starsiege Tribes
Tribes was one of the first online-only games of its kind and sported several multiplayer features that other games have only recently included (32+ player support, 128 players max, troop transport vehicles, several different player classes). Most of the standard maps were outdoors in a variety of climates, from sunshine to snow and hail. In general, bases were scattered throughout the map depending on the gametype. The outdoor environments were and still are relatively huge, extending for several kilometeres in any direction, but “jetting” and “skiing” gave Tribes a fast-paced feel.
Zel Team Fortress
One of the most popular online action games of all time, Team Fortress Classic features over nine character classes — from Medic to Spy to Demolition Man — enlisted in a unique style of online team warfare. Each character class possesses unique weapons, items, and abilities, as teams compete online in a variety of game play modes.
Super Mario
Undoubtedly the most popular computer character ever created Super Mario now revisits you PC in this rendition of the classic NES game “Super Mario”.
It’s hard criticize any aspect of this amusing DOS game, some have complained about it’s music, others have complained about it’s lack of original gameplay (they say nothing has changed since the original Super Mario). Although some good music would have been a great addition, I didn’t regard this as much of a problem. As for its unoriginal gameplay: that is what makes this version Super Mario great.
Little Fighter
In this game, you run with a bunch of kids who just want to fight. You choose to be one of 11 characters, each character has 3 special moves and then you participate in an all out fight. In the game, you can play one on one, team matches or elimination tournament matches. There is up to 8 fighters simultaneously on screen controlled by up to 3 human players. The game modes include the usual championships as well as fighters divided into 2,3 or 4 groups.
Scorched Earth 3D
Scorched is a game based loosely on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth. In its simplest form Scorched is an artillery game. Tanks take turns to earn money by destroying opponents in an arena. Scorched attempts to recreate the simple yet addictive game play of the original game, adding amongst other new features a 3D island environment.
Simutrans
Simutrans is a freeware transportation simulator that runs under Windows, Linux, and a few other operating systems (Mac with Intel processors, BEOS).
You take on the role of operating a transportation company, and your goal is to get goods of various kinds, as well as passengers and mail, from one place to the next.
Don’t be fooled by the tile-based graphics – this is a very complex game, and it is constantly evolving, with new features being added. It is a living game, and consistently being made better and better.
Wild Metal
Rockstar have introduced the second installment in their series of complimentary full PC game downloads. Another vintage title from Rockstar North, then known as DMA Design, Wild Metal (1999) is a 3D strategic vehicular combat game set in a distant land, in which you command armed roving vehicles to disrupt dangerous automated military units that have overtaken the Tehric planetary system. While it flew under the mainstream radar when it was originally released, it was critically acclaimed for its unique yet intuitive control schemes and its massive open world to explore. We do hope you enjoy it.
This rare gem from early Rockstar history has now been optimized for play on modern PCs and is available on the house for all registrants to the Rockstar Games mailing list (rest assured your information will not be shared with any third parties, you will only receive information from Rockstar).

Super Mario 3: Mario Forever
Super Mario 3 : Mario Forever is really a classic Mario remake. Once again you strap on your wrench and hardhat and guide the chubby plumber through many skillfully made levels. The diversity of the levels is very impressive. You will have to get through levels ranging from underwater caverns to levels filled with hot lava.
Plasma Pong
A very unique Pong-game
I promise you that this is the most original and probably the best Pong-game you have ever played. `How to turn this simple game into something different than the rest?`, you might ask. Well, add plasma to it and you have an entirely different way of playing.
