Free Windows Game Downloads

Like an all-you-can-eat gaming buffet

From Lee Seats, for About.com

Caiman offers a huge selection of freeware Windows game downloads. They only provide games that are pure freeware, meaning they are free from adware and not limited demos or shareware.

The site has so many games to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming. Here is how to get the most out of the site:

  • Use the Categories - The games are sorted into about fifty categories. In each category, the top ranked games are listed first. These are your best bets unless you are looking for something very specific that may not be ranked as highly.

  • Search - There is a search link on the right side that will allow you to search by game title or authur. This is a great way to find an old favorite or other specific game you want to play.

  • Forum - There is also a link to the site forum on the right. You can see what other people are playing and ask questions about a game, get hints for adventure games, or just talk games in general.

These games should keep the the Windows users busy for quite some time. I know I'm going to get questions from Mac users about where they can find good freeware games -- I'm on the lookout for a good Mac freeware games site to list, so if you know of one, let me know.
