| DOS Freeware: The Elder Scrolls: Arena | (RPG) | May 28, 2010 |
| The Elder Scrolls: Arena is the game that started a spectacular RPG franchise. If you have played Daggerfall, Morrowind, or Oblivion then you know just how much fun it can be to run the entire world map from the start of the game. I've only played Oblivion on my PS3, but I was overjoyed to find that the first two titles in the series are now free from the publisher. I will be adding Daggerfall soon, but for now go enjoy Arena, it is good for hours of fun. |

| Windows 95 Freeware: Dope Wars | (Strategy) | May 26, 2010 |
| My friends and I discovered Dope Wars back in 1999 when it was first generously released by Ben Webb. Ever since then numerous clones have emerged, some of which have the audacity to charge a fee to play their (always inferior) version of the game. Ben's version is and always will be free, and is the best version anyway, with free online play via the dopewars servers. |
