Free-to-Play Games Thread

This one is a really old racing game but I’ve had lots of fun playing it in the past - Tile Racer - News

Its name is Tile Racer, and you can create your own tracks and share with other people. It’ll probably run even on the weakest systems. More info below:

System Requirements

Minimum: CPU: 1200MHz or higher, 512 MB RAM, 100 MB free disk space, 3D Hardware Accelerator Card: 64 MB.

Recommended: 3D Hardware Accelerator Card: 256 MB.

This game also requires AGEIA Physx to run.

Below is a gameplay from the game:

And I found another free to play racing game - http://torcs.sourceforge.net

So it’s basically a low budget Assetto Corsa but I hope it can be fun to you since it’s a very moddable game.

Anyway, here’s some gameplay footage:

I hope that even @Amyrakunejo can run these games without too much trouble.

Minimum: 400MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, OpenGL 1.2 compatible graphics card with 16 MB RAM.

Recommended: 600MHz CPU, 256MB RAM, OpenGL 1.3 compatible graphics card with 64 MB RAM.

TORCS runs, runs decently well. Tile Racer, not so much. I think it’s a PhysX issue. Ah, well…

Yeah, Tile Racer needs from AGEIA Physx installed to work properly. Are you having lag in there ?

Also, did you like from TORCS ?

Tile Racer:
Menus load. Game itself: Crash on race startup.

TORCS: I kinda wish I knew how to make more advanced courses with the track editor (hills, loops, etcetera), but there’s no extra documentation on any of that, nor on some of the other executables it comes with (nfs2ac.exe), so yeah…it’s still fun, if a bit frustrating at times…

Oh, ok. Maybe you should try running it in compatibility mode (XP or 7 should work, I think).

I found this tutorial online - TORCS Track Tutorial
However I suggest playing around with the editor and figuring things out, I guess.
Anyway, I’m glad you liking from it so far.

Use hyperlinks just in case:

Artifact - Hyperlink

When prices and licenses change even for discounts the cooler “View links” break most of the time ;]

Here’s a fun little puzzle game from David Brevick, one of the original creators of Diablo among many other games. It’s free to download directly from his website. Apparently he created this in about 30 min on a stream a few years ago. Shows how skilled he is as a program to do something that quickly. Certainly not a crazy graphics/mechanics game, but still.

Either way thought I would share for people who like puzzle games like this. Really makes you think. The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly so it’s certainly not for everyone.
