Hey all, it's been a while since I last visited Neowin, but today I found a couple of old classics that have been updated and released for free, and thought I'd share the goodies.

First off, there's "Eat the Whistle", a Sensible World Of Soccer look-alike which was developed as a commercial game for the Amiga, and released under the GPL in 2002. It can import SWOS teams, and has several modes of play, where you can control one player (and trust the computer with the rest of the team) or the whole team (like in most football games), and an arcade play mode where you can get powerups, making it slightly similar to SpeedBall II. Netplay is going to be added but isn't finished yet.

Then, more well known to most of you, Remedy (yes, Remedy as in 3DMark demos and Max Payne), have updated and released Death Rally for free. Originally a DOS title, it's been ported to run under all current Windows platforms, including 7 in both x86 and x64 flavours.

Enjoy!!

It's been awhile since I've been here but I'm posting her since Liberated Games doesn't have their forums anymore.

A company called Fantasoft LLC has released their game called REALMZ for free (this game used to be shareware). You can get the game and the registration codes at http://www.fantasoft.com/ , this game is for Windows and Mac OS (don't know if it's classic Mac OS or OS X.).

I am going thru my old bookmarks and removing some of the bookmarks and I found a bookmark about a game called Lords Of Doom.

Lords of Doom is an RPG for DOS which was originally released in 1996. The author has released the game for free download. You can get the game and serial number at http://www.dzikosoft.com/games/lod.html .

Does anyone have box dave or beatdave? Old Shockwave game that you boxed dave letterman.

I do have that in fact, on an old CD-R I made twelve years ago. I'll go see if I can find it.

Edit: I found it. However I cannot get it to work in Windows 7 or XP; it complains about not enough virtual memory. Compatibility mode didn't work either, but I was able to run it in Virtual PC with Windows 98. After playing it again I'm not sure it was worth all the trouble though, but here it is. :laugh:

Slugfest.zip

Microsoft's "Tinker", a very polished puzzle game, was always "free" in the sense that you didn't have to pay for the game itself, however you did need to own a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate in order to get it installed, so you did have to pay "extra" (and run Vista) to get it. Now it's being offered as a free game for all Windows platforms (well, XP and upwards) when you sign up for the free Games for Windows Live service.

The only problem is, its not worldwide available. Only in countries where Xbox Live is supported. :( Microsoft really need to push GoWL if they want to get like 1% of the digital distribution market.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
