PC Games That Are Absolutely Free

Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games

• Download a massively multiplayer online role-playing game for free. These MMO RPG's are free to play because you are given the option to purchase in-game items that are better than the ones non-paying members can find for free. There is also the option to pay for a subscription that gives you perks that non-paying players do not receive. Two of the most popular MMO RPG's that do this are Runescape (Runescape.com) and MapleStory (MapleStory.Nexon.net), according to MMOHuts.com.
  
  

Abandon Ware

• Play free abandon ware games. Abandon ware is software that is at least four years old and is no longer being sold by the owning company. The game will no longer become abandon ware once the company decides to sell the game online or in stores again. Since these games are no longer being sold, you may download them from abandon ware sites for free. These games are older and may not run on newer PCs. Abandonia.com and MyAbandonware.com are two such sites that offer these types of games.
  
  

Flash Games

• Search for free flash games to play. These games can be played directly on a Web browser and have hundreds of separate sites that offer them. The only requirements to play these games are an Internet connection and a computer with Flash software installed. Flash is free to download and is offered by Adobe (Adobe.com). ArmorGames.com and Newgrounds.com both offer free daily flash games to play that are submitted by the user community.
  
  

Pre-Packaged PC Games

• Explore your computer for any free PC games. Most pre-constructed PCs will come with games already installed on the computer. Some of the more common games are "Minesweeper," "Solitaire," and "Hearts." You can play these games as much as you would like for free.
