Liberated Games
Liberated Games has been around since August 2004. Their mandate is to catalog all commercial games that have been released as freeware to the public.
Some great classics are in there, including:
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Doom/DoomII
- Quake I/II/III
- Descent I/II
- Hexen I/II
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Grand Theft Auto I/II
I love classic gaming!
Unfortunately most of them won’t run on my Mac, but that’s where the open source community comes in. Exult, for example, lets me play my old copy of Ultima 7 on pretty much any platform. Even the Zaurus Linux-based handheld! Descent II has also been ported to OSX. Hopefully some more of these classics will get re-worked in the future.
