Free-to-Play Games Thread

Reviving this thead with an old Zelda clone - Caiman free games: Guardian of Paradise by Buster / E.Hashimoto.

And the English patch - Aeon Genesis ~

This game brings back memories of my very first PC (an eMachines eOne) which allowed me to beat this game twice. IMO it’s a classic game on par with stuff like Cave Story.

Thanks @cacronia - That looks like an interesting fun game to play when you have a few minutes to kill. And it’s only 130MB to install, so easy to add. :sparkles: :dizzy: :sparkles:

It reminds me that the publisher of Cave Story+ was trying so hard to take this one down XD

Maybe. I recall playing something similar to SuperTuxKart…

Ugh no wonder people hate that developer. :roll_eyes:

I’ve played a much earlier version of SuperTuxKart on Linux. It was a long time ago though. It runs, but I have the same Deadzone issues with the thumbstick as I did with Most Wanted, in that I end up doing a lot of steering correction. I could use the Dpad but that feels weird, steering with that.

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.
