Help Me Kill My Boredom

[Fifty]

I don't have any games, and I don't want to buy any either. However, I am dying of boredom.

Can anybody recommend a game that is

1. free and downloadable
2. not filled with spyware/adware
3. engaging... will keep me busy for many bored nights
4. non-simplistic and non-repetitive
5. single player is preferable, though I will consider multiplayer games.

Battle of Yavin and Battle of Endor are good fun. Just shoot and get addicted.

 

[WildFire]

That's a lot of requirements for wanting something free and won't get boring after a week.

 

[Thrawn]

Good luck finding something which fulfills all of those.

A driving game, gets a little repetitive but its quite good.

Or you could download MAME and some MAME roms.

Bah, just look at porn the same as the rest of us.

There is much that is:

1. Free and downloadable
2. Not filled with spyware/adware (okay, maybe this rather less certain)
3. Engaging and will keep you busy for many bored nights.
4. Non-simplistic and non-repetitive - that is up to you
5. Single-player - oh yeah and you CAN consider multiplayer

As always in threads like these I recommend Dink Smallwood. It was originally shareware, but is nor freeware. And when you've finished the main game you should check out the Dink network for user-made addons that will add hours of gameplay.

I used to use a similar site for such freeware/abandonware, but this one is quality. So many games I played so many moons back and all those I never could get enough money to buy.

Think I'll have alot of fun downloading them all tonight.

Thanks muchly

"Turborisk". Google it.

It's basically a computer Risk game. Only World map, the cards do not have locations associated with them, and you can't choose how many men to attack with. Besides that, It's just like the board version.

Risk can get borring after a while, but it's a classic, so I thought I'd bring it up.


You can also just browse though online games. Sure, each game will probably not entertain you for too long, but the sheare number should leave you playing for a few months.
