    The link to the free version of Cradle of Persia has been removed because the set up file was only active for four days.To anyone who downloaded that game and kept the original set up file; if you try to use it now you will find that it no longer works; however, if you reset your computers clock 'temporarily' to the date you originally downloaded the set up file, you will find the set up ill work. Once the game has been installed you can then change the date back to the correct adate.

    If you can't remember when you downloaded the file, right click on the set up file and select properties. From the information given in the window pane you can see when the file was created, which is the date it was downloaded. Use that date to be able to reuse the set up file. Cradle of Persia is similar to games such as Age of Japan, Rise of Atlantis and Big Kahuna Reef; and in my opinion as good. It's well worth keeping if you were lucky enought to get the free game. :)

    p.s.

    Thanks Funkymom :)

    WhiteRabbit.....excellent advice on the computer clock reset! Thanks for posting it.

    I did that same kind of thing back when everyone was afraid of computers crashing when the year 2000 came. On New Year's eve, I simply reset my old PC back about 10 years, and I never had a problem. After all, the PC only thinks it's a certain date because it is told it is. I may not have had a problem anyway, but better safe than sorry.

    I would like to add to this list with http://www.cybamart.com/games/

    Whiterabbit I think you would like this list, since you introduced me to Gametop there are some games not included which I believe you would like given your reviews. I will post a link to the thread which discusses Cybamart. http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3346

    p.s.

    I wasn't sure whether the comment about turning the clock back so that you could reuse the set up file would be allowed?

    Stephen, that shouldn't really be a problem, that's just a setting on individual PC's. Nothing untoward there (I don't believe anyway). Thanks for your ingenuity though.

    I only have a second, so I hope that I'm repeating games that have already been listed. I wanted to post quickly before I have to leave.

    If you like adventure games, especially mysteries, you might like to try these:
    http://www.lostspell.com/hidden/hidden-chapter-1-primitive-essence.php
    http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/fatebynumbers/index.html

    And here's a free adventure game download in the vein of the old Sierra King's Quest games:

    Enjoy!

    Thanks Catnip, there are a couple here which haven't been posted before. Also scroll up this page and previous for some more links to free games.

    It is easier for us all if we try to keep the free game links on the one thread. Cheers!

    I'll be updating this thread with a list of threads that contain links to free games sometime soon. As robm says, it's a good idea to keep them all in one place, though I also think that if you have named games such as the Cradle of Persia game from a few weeks ago (no longer available by the way)it sould also be posted as a seperate thread so that you can see the name in the threads. Oay it's a pain posting twice, but it helps to stop threads being buried as the number of forum threads are increasing every day (ob' lol)

    regards
