Let's post awesome free/indie games!

[dezimaton]

They seem to have reached a certain level of popularity within their own circles, though here are two of my personal favorites:

Ib, by kouri: free
A relatively short, but engaging puzzle horror game made in RPGmaker. The story is very creative and musical selection sets the perfect mood.

Off, by mortis ghost: free
Another puzzle-ish game with turn-based combat elements. The music is excellent and the quirky story elements/art style are probably the game's strongest qualities.

Haven't played it, but it looks awesome.

Parashoot Stan (That's how it's spelled), by Gory Details Ltd.

From the man behind Conker's Bad Fur Day, a vertical scrolling action game about a kid and his dogs who parachute out of a plane, while fighting for their lives against enemy thugs. Has Chris Seavor's usual dark humor and charm.

Catgirl + Explosions Everywhere is best game.

Copy Kitty is pretty great. They got a free version which has a ton of content as well as a Turbo Edition for $10.

Marathon

The most awesome series ever. Especially Infinity, if you can keep up with the story. You have to start with the first though, or you won't know whats going on. Plus Aleph One (the engine) is scriptable and there are tons of hi-res graphics available. Even has multiplayer.

 

[Gelaxy]

I'm sure everyone's seen this on Steam already, but I really got a kick out of The Fall.
It's only $10, and is well worth it.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but there is Cave Story for the PC. It costs money on other consoles but the original version is the PC version and that version is free and is a great indie game.

[Maugryph]

I didn't see it on the list, sorry if I missed it but..

Cry of Fear for all you surival horror fans.

 

[martha75]

Cry of Fear is best a psychological single-player game!

 

[Tao]

Crypt Worlds is very, very awesome.

You Can't Do Simple Maths Under Pressure. I came across this through a NerdCube's Free Games Friday.

Clicker Heroes (Steam, clickerheroes.com)
Do you need a game where you kill monsters by clicking them, and then eventually never have to click a monster again to progress through the 3600 levels that have achievements associated with them as well as others. Of course you do.

 

[Bryman04]

Has anyone mentioned Yooka-Laylee, A Hat in Time, Lobodestroyo vs. la Liga de los Villanos, and Clive n Wrench? I'm so lookin' forward to those!

Abandonia

I use this website a lot.
It collects and distributes copies of abandonware games.

It's how I got to play the Jazz Jackrabbit series for the first time, which is a great side-scrolling action/shooter/platformer.

Be sure to have DOSBox handy, since most games are from the DOS era.

 

[SullenPlummet]

I didn't see it listed in the thread, but Ur-Quan Masters is pretty good. It's based on the 3DO version of Star Control 2, so it's basically identical to the PC version but it doesn't require knowing DOSBox to get running.
