Here are some of my favorite games.

If you know of any other great free games, e-mail me.

 

DX Ball

A breakout game with lots of boards and a few surprizes. This game is so good I can't believe it's freeware, but it is. (Requires DirectX 6 or higher).
Alhademic Balls

Alhademic Balls is a collection of three familiar puzzle games in which the object is to swap two colored balls in a matrix, so as to create rows of three or more balls of the same color -- either vertically or horizontally. When you create a row, those balls are removed, you get some points, and new balls cascade down from above. When there are no more moves, the game ends. Options let you choose from three variations of the game as well as background MIDI music and skins. A high score honor roll and a timer add pressure to the search for moves.
Beads!

Beads! is a very addictive game. The rules for this game are very simple. You move the balls, one at a time, trying to create horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of five or more balls of the same color. If you succeed, this line disappears and you get some points, if not, there will be three more balls thrown on the board. Longer lines will give you (some) bonus points. The longer the line, the more points. The colors and position of the new balls thrown on the board are random. The game ends when the board is filled up.
Mice Men

Mice Men is a funny animated strategy game where the objective is to push and pull columns of cheese blocks to get your mice to the other side of the board before your friend or computer opponent beats you to the punch. The funny animated mice will entertain you, but you'll need strategy to win this one! Mice Men is shareware, but the nag screens only appear upon exit, and the game is well worth the few extra steps.
CardFun Video Poker features five of your favorite variations of poker including Draw Poker, Joker Poker, Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker, and Five Card Stud. Statistics, ranking, and history are kept for each individual player.
Gravity Balls

Gravity Balls is a fast-paced ball and block matching extravaganza. While colored spheres fall from above, you must quickly arrange the blocks at the bottom in order for the color of the ball and block to match. But if they stack too high, your ball matching empire will crumble, and you will suffer the agony of failure.
Jezzball

The game begins in a large capture chamber with two Jezz atoms bouncing around. With a click of the mouse, you can build a new chamber wall and trap the Jezz atoms in a smaller space. But be careful, if you don't build your wall completely across the chamber before it's hit by a Jezz atom, it won't withstand the impact.
Rubik's Rings

The objective of the game is to rotate all the marbles so the green marbles are all in the center of the board, and the red and blue are separated on either outer side of the board. Your only moves are to rotate either ring in either direction.

Alex the Alegator 2

Alex the Allegator 2 is a "gem." Although the graphics and sound are nice, the real impressive thing about this board game is its originality. I've never seen anything quite like it. In this game, your goal is to remove as many groups of tokens as possible. To remove tokens, simply create a group of same-colored tokens. This game has a high score table and the option to play single or two player. A quite enjoyable game.
Clickomania

Clickomania is an arcade-style puzzle game, the object of which is to remove as many stones as possible by clicking on groups of similarly colored stones. It sounds easy enough, but a few unexpected twists and turns make it harder than it appears. Features include a list of high scores, configurable preferences, and varying skill levels.
Color Magic

Really nice game with nice graphics and music. This game is played on a triangular honeycombed board. In Color Magic, you attempt to make triangles of 6 balls (3 ball combinations are acceptable in Newbie mode). However, these combinations must be made with a specific number of colors and with certain types of symmetry. Depending on the game level, only certain combinations are acceptable. There is a language setting in the options menu.
