| List of freeware video games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia List of free massively multiplayer online games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There's a lot to choose from. Why do people pay for games when we have all this?

Are these for windows or Linux? The only thing that is keeping me from switching completely to Linux is I really like to play Age of Empires!

| Wine appdb says AoE 1 and 2 should work rather well, but AoE 3 won't likely run yet. I don't know much about Linux native RTS games. So far no one has poked me to say here's an awesome RTS for Linux. But here's a list. Actually, I've heard people say good things about Spring. It's like Total Annihilation.

Never tried Spring or TA. Actually, I am lagging behind in warfare/action games for few years. Last one I played was Doom3. Lately, I prefer strategic games but bursting some aliens once in a while is not a bad idea.

the one I played was on a pentium (or was it a 486?) PC around 1997. I spent considerable amount of my life in figuring out how to kill the guy on level 10.

| Yes indeed, the game came on a 5 1/4 inch one sided floppy disk and could hold 140 megabytes of data if I remember correctly. As I mentioned earlier it was cutting edge for the time period and great fun. The game had only a small graphic content and was played with the keyboard since the Apple II did not have a mouse or hard drive.

the ones I used could hold either 360Kb or 1.2 Mb. And there was no HDD on XT so you store aaalllllll your data on floppies that were so fragile that you had to keep them inside books. yes down the memory lane reminds me of a quote by dear ol' Bill, 540K ought to be enough for everybody.
