Free PC Games From The Air Force


Recommended Posts

Awesome! Time to free up some disk space!

EDIT: I thought these were just going to be some low budget meteocre games that the Air Force could compensate for releasing thier game free, but Area 51 is really good. Also, for those who use download managers, Area 51 is available at bigdownload.com. Their servers allow multiple connections and with Bitcomet I'm really maxing out my connection.

Even for free I would avoid The Suffering Ties That Bind, I bought that game and it's so riddled with bugs that make it almost impossible to progress in the game.

To top it off, the lazy SOB developers/publishers didn't bother to release any patches for it at all, not to mention the retail version is riddled with Starforce crap, I'm not sure about the free versions they are offering for download.

Area 51 isn't too bad, never played Rise and Fall:Civilizations at War....

I'm guessing they'd have ads from the Air Force in them or something?

On the suffering filefront page:

Short Description

Midway’s classic PC shooter, The Suffering, is now available to download and play for FREE as an ad supported game. This is a full version with no time expiration sponsored by the US Air Force.

Doesn't mention anything about copyright protection though.

OMG is it just me, or are those games totally lame? :/ It seems like the Air Force is trying to tap nerdcore gamers, and it's so offpoint it's scary... I mean the army releasing a game about conspiracies and Area 51? lol I dunno maybe I'm being too cynical... but yeh I saw that page with the three titles displayed and I laughed.

It just smacks of some old recruitment firm trying to come up with 'cool' ways to entice today's youth (N)

Out of the three games, Area 51 is the best. It came out in April '05 and it's pretty fun. The story is quite cool too. And you know what's great about it? The main character is voiced by none other than David Duchovny himself.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
