As for Galatix, I couldn't confirm it was freeware. This is a capture from wayback machine, "Galactix was our very first game released back in 1992, and it is now Freeware " v1.5 says "free shareware" but it's the full game and cannot be registered (press R on the main menu) https://web.archive.org …

Surprised nobody suggested Amulets and Armor! Never heard of this game, but now that I saw it, I just had to add it to the list. Unfortunately the game is pretty big in size, so I had to remove Shadow Warrior (as this game has no music and was kinda incomplete) in order to add it. I know I'm late …

The FPS named H. U. R. L. (also known as slob zone 3D) might be freeware according to a thread on mobygames, but I doubt it. Going back to final list above there is also : - cyberdogs - bipbop trilogy (see the Ross Game Dungeon vidéo about this one on YouTube. Search for bipbop 2) - Igor : …

I think Pyro 2 is freeware? I suddenly recall that was a popular one too. It seems to be shareware as well, anyway, keep em' coming as they will be useful for the shareware project :) As for the freeware ones, it seems the CD is finally full, thanks to Battlecruiser 3000 AD being around 150mb, I …

Now I’m confused about Inner Worlds... the developer website says the game is free but it’s on sale on Steam... maybe they’re charging for the “tech support” for having the game running on steam?

Added all the listed games to the CD image (plus a few more like Shadow Warrior), and I could barely fill half of a CD-ROM (around 360mb). Now some questions... - Where is a good place to upload it? - Is anyone interested in downloading it, burn to a CD and test if all games are being installed …

You could get any list of best DOS games, the list of freeware games and keep the games that appears on both lists. At this moment, the only game I can think of is Skyroads. Maybe I could check my DOSBox games and check how many are freeware. (BTW, there are free versions of Shadow Warriors both on …

There's got to be a much better list of these things out there somewhere. I reckon the original Megazeux deserves a space, and possibly ZZT. Best one I could find was on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games_released_as_freeware But this list has some missing games …

In the console, try typing: gl_ztrick 0 You will probably need to add it to autoexec.cfg to avoid having to execute it every time you run the game.
