Hey guys,

After a bunch of searching for new games to play, I ran accross this one. I think it\'s great. Curious if there any other free games out there that you guys are playing that I could be missing? It doesn\'t have to be about space?

Warzone2100, a real time 3D strategy game. 100% open source and available on nearly any OS you can think of. This is a full game, with an extensive single player campaign and fully integrated multiplayer.

Been playing this for 10+ years now, never gets old. It was one of the first 3D RTS games of its time, and has a very unique style of gameplay. Rather than have a limited number of pre-configured units and support structures. Warzone instead starts the player out with next to nothing, and the only way to advance is through research of technology. The game puts a lot of emphasis on artillery, air support, and unit design. Design your tanks and aircraft as you see fit in real time, choose the weapons, armour, and propulsion to fight your way to victory.

Orbiter Space Flight Simulator, a space flight simulator. Similar to KSP, but at a much more serious and in depth level. Takes place in the solar system rather than a fictional planet.

Love this game. While KSP takes a more relaxed and arcade like approach to space flight, Orbiter does the opposite. It\'s numerous navigation tools and movement modes will quickly overwhelm any new player hoping to jump into the cockpit and press the gas button to go into orbit. If KSP doesn\'t fit your space flight bill, definitely give this one a shot.

As said above, Orbiter is definitely worth checking out. Be warned, though, it is a VERY involved game (Although equally rewarding when you figure out how to do something right.)

There\'s a really fun flight simulator I play at http://www.ysflight.com/, The mechanics are great, the only thing really lacking is the games graphics

Also, if your into stuff like this, I\'ve been keeping my eye on a mechwarrior-like game in development at http://www.coldestgame.com/site/. It\'s not anything spectaular yet, but I think it has a lot of potential. Alternativly, if your craving some mech-based combat NOW, Microsoft cleared MechWarrior 4 Mercinaries for free release a while back, you need only figure out how to use MekTeks confusing download system. ???

You might also like to cast your eye over Starfarer: http://fractalsoftworks.com/blog/ I\'ve been following it rabidly for half a year-ish. No, it\'s not Angry Houses That Stomp, but it\'s based on the same chassis-matching, weapon-linking, heat-watching gameplay loop that Mechwarrior is. Also gorgeous and smart.

I couldn\'t figure that game out at all. 2-D slices of a 3-D world doesn\'t make sense for me. I do use the term Fun quite a bit though.

it took me about 20 minutes to actually figure out what i was looking at.

the problem i kept having is they would all starve to death. and once they all died of thirst!.

Apparently there is more to the game then just telling them to dig tunnels
