I can't speak to the site's legitimacy, but it's been up uninterrupted from what I can tell for several months. I'd think M$ would have blasted them to the outer rim by now if they had any problem with it. It appears to me that they're probably OK with it just by virtue of pushing traffic to the Zone and GameSpy multiplayer portals.


sweet!

Out of this world/Another world - Very similar to flashblack, a great great game and still is a nice game. - adventure

The original arthur did a high resolution XP version of Out Of This World? It's not free maybe, but the original game kicked so much ass! I'd love to see a new version of Flash Back, game just rocked hard.

I second Shadowbane. It's not for the feint of heart (hardcore PvP MMO that revolves completely around player created guild politics), but it's tons of fun if you find a good guild and get into it.

What???? You don't have Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters?

One of the best games of all time, now remastered with improved graphics and sound, amazing music remixes!

SC2: UQM


Okay... it's been mentioned. Edit the OP?

BATracer has been eating up my spare time lately.

It's a free web-based racing management sim. Unlike management sims in the vein of Grand Prix Manager, you don't control the day-to-day business of running a race team and making money.

All you focus on is working on the setup of the car in practice sessions; qualifying and race sessions are automatically calculated based on your setup and your driver settings. You can push harder to go faster, but at the increased risk of crashing or having a mechanical failure.

Free accounts are allowed to participate in two public and two private games at a time.

Players who advertise at the site, or make donations, are allowed access to some extra perks (none of which you need to win), and can also play four public & four private games at a time.

It's easy to pick up, and you can play it with only a ten to fifteen minute per day time investment.

Now, a disclaimer: I'm going to provide you two links to the website. One is the standard link to the main page, the other is the referral link. Clicking the referral link will increase my count of people I've directed to the website. Making an account from my referral will increase my count of people who've signed up.

Neither of which benefit me in any way.

However, people who sign up for accounts and then love the game so much they make a donation...BATracer pays $1.85 for each referred player who becomes a donator.

So click whichever link you want. I'm not going to beg you to click the referral. I just want more people to try the game.

Minions of Mirth

Haven't tried it but recently found out about it. It can be played as single player, or can be played as an MMO. You can run your own persistent world servers. There is a completely free version with some limitations, and a paid premium version with stuff like higher level caps, guilds, multiclass characters, etc. Cross platform for Windows/OS X. Uses OpenGL.
