Well I was born in the mid 90's and didnt rly get into pc gaming untiil....what 2009?
So ive been wondering are there any older games that have been freely released by the developers, im thining something like Diablo 2 or Gothic, something relatively new, but not that new, like 1995-2005?

Thanks!

While it isn't exactly free, gog.com has a huge library of older games for around $5 each. Some are a bit more, sometimes you'll find some for less. I found one of my all time favorites series there (Freespace I & II).

The first Master of Orion is free to play. There is a site called abandonia.com that has a lot of oldies. From my understanding, they host access to games that have been abandoned by the developers (hence the name). Since this site has been around for a good while, I assume they're legit. I'd highly recommend picking up Wizardry 8 from there, if you can since Sir-Tech has been long gone.

The earlier command and conquer games, for sure. C&C1, Red Alert 1, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2... all amazing games. I was also rather fond of TIE Fighter, but I don't think that's playable anymore.

C&C1: http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/CnCGold.zip

RA1 (Allied Disc): http://www.freewarefiles.com/Command-And-Conquer-Red-Alert_program_44782.html

RA1 (Soviet Disc): http://www.freewarefiles.com/Command-and-Conquer-Red-Alert-1-Soviet-Disk_program_58247.html

Tiberian Sun + Firestorm Expansion: http://www.freewarefiles.com/Command-and-Conquer-Tiberian-Sun-and-Firestorm_program_55228.html
