Try “Tranquility.”

“they’re all free, online, and available right now”

Well, for certain operating systems.

Yeah, Kottke posted a link to Chain Reaction (shown as Chaos Theory on the game’s page) and I’ve been pissing away my time ever since. Very addictive.

Not Super Mario Sunshine or Super Smash Brothers.

I’ve always been a fan of Text Twist.

(Text Twist says it doesn’t work on a Mac, but it does in Firefox.)

I think Globulos is missing.

Since that guy’s including offline games: Dungeon Crawl. The Battle for Wesnoth. Freeciv.

His choices seem pretty arbitrary to me, honestly. I mean… Food Force?

Finally, you encounter a rebel blocking the road and have to decide what to tell him so he doesn’t jack the truck. Here the game comes tantalizingly close to interesting. Unfortunately, the multiple-choice questions were written in that style where the long, politically-worded answer is always the right one. A sample: The rebel asks, “Tell us what is in the truck?” Your choices are: “A. Lie—say there is nothing on board. B. Better not to answer, hit the gas and drive through the barrier. C. Explain you’re with the United Nations World Food Programme carrying food for starving people.” I was surprised not to see a choice D: “Give the rebel a wedgie and make fun of his mama.”

Yes, Globulos is missing. Perhaps because it is not 100% free, but Cookie Craft is.
