Here are some great free games.

If you know of any others, e-mail me.

 

DX Ball

A breakout game with lots of boards and a few surprizes. This game is so good I can't believe it's freeware, but it is. (Requires DirectX 6 or higher).

Alhademic Balls

Alhademic Balls is a collection of three familiar puzzle games in which the object is to swap two colored balls in a matrix, so as to create rows of three or more balls of the same color -- either vertically or horizontally. When you create a row, those balls are removed, you get some points, and new balls cascade down from above. When there are no more moves, the game ends. Options let you choose from three variations of the game as well as background MIDI music and skins. A high score honor roll and a timer add pressure to the search for moves.

GermNation

GermNation is a very unique, challenging and addictive puzzle game. Dangerous Germs are multiplying in a biological lab, and the only way to destroy them is to make them more deadly. By combining two Germs you get a highly dangerous mutant form, but it will destroy itself when it tries to combine with another Germ of the same variety. These Germs also form Pods and hatch from them at seemingly-random intervals, but fortunately scientists have managed to time those intervals and make them available to you in a countdown.

Bonzala

You control a flyer through a rollercoaster track, picking up golden hearts as you go. By landing on the candy-striped pads and pressing either your left or right cursor buttons, you can connect separated portions of the track. There are large ugly monsters on several portions of the track. Grabbing a purple heart will make them smaller and easier to get around. But the point is to try to move the tracks.

Marble Crazy

Marble Crazy is a very addictive, well constructed logic-based strategy game. Gameplay requires a deft hand and a quick eye. It features superior animation and sound. In the One and Two Player modes the marbles that you make disappear add marbles to your opponent's screen and vice versa.

Beads!

Beads! is a very addictive game. The rules for this game are very simple. You move the balls, one at a time, trying to create horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of five or more balls of the same color. If you succeed, this line disappears and you get some points, if not, there will be three more balls thrown on the board. Longer lines will give you (some) bonus points. The longer the line, the more points. The colors and position of the new balls thrown on the board are random. The game ends when the board is filled up.

Tetra Blocks

Tetra Blocks is a tetris clone for one or two players. The game is spiced with hot graphics and cool commodore 64 stylish music, not to mention the quakes and explosions that enrich the game play. Lots of different ways to play the game too, e.g level increase based on time or blocks, easy, medium and hard, battle (in two player mode).

Leap Frog

Use the arrow keys to make your cute little frog, Jim, hop around and collect yummy bugs. Along the way, you can also pick up glowing yellow coins. Collect ten coins to go to a bonus stage. Your goal is to continue enjoying those tasty bugs, but you have to avoid the evil chef and all the traps he's set out to capture Jim! "To eat or be eaten is the the question"!

Reversy

A classic game of Reversy with excellent graphics. It doesn't feature many bells or whistles, but this is a really addictive game. Your goal is to get as many tiles of your own colour by reversing your opponent's tiles.

Worms

The basic idea of the game is that you and a friend each control a team of four worms, that battle eachother. If you can't find someone else to play with there is a single player mode, but it's pretty basic... Worms from each team take turns trying to kill eachother, using bazookas, grenades, and a variety of other weapons. The last team with living worms wins.

Mice Men

Mice Men is a funny animated strategy game where the objective is to push and pull columns of cheese blocks to get your mice to the other side of the board before your friend or computer opponent beats you to the punch. The funny animated mice will entertain you, but you'll need strategy to win this one! Mice Men is shareware, but the nag screens only appear upon exit, and the game is well worth the few extra steps.

Hexagon

In this game your task is to put various balls on hexagon field, but you must obey some rules such as not to put two balls with the same color next to one another, and to avoid placing a ball with the same color as the surrounding border.

Gravity Balls

Gravity Balls is a fast-paced ball and block matching extravaganza. While colored spheres fall from above, you must quickly arrange the blocks at the bottom in order for the color of the ball and block to match. But if they stack too high, your ball matching empire will crumble, and you will suffer the agony of defeat.

Bubble Puzzle 97

Jezzball

The game begins in a large capture chamber with two Jezz atoms bouncing around. With a click of the mouse, you can build a new chamber wall and trap the Jezz atoms in a smaller space. But be careful, if you don't build your wall completely across the chamber before it's hit by a Jezz atom, it won't withstand the impact.
