Hi, my GF's parents computer is infected with Viruses and Spyware. Topic located here. You'll see in the second page on that topic that I stated the games they have Installed might or... might not be the problem. Anyways, I would like to know where to download *Freeware games. They like to play the old arcade type games. Like you go up and down shooting alot of stuff to gain points and what not.

I am not sure where you can download freeware games. Try Miniclip.com's download section.
Also, check these two sites site out.. great and fun games

http://www.addictinggames.com/

Edit: Check www.teagames.com

MMORPGs:

Mu Online
Silkroad Online

for freeware games, we have about 5000 of them old classic games..
just download a emulator called "mame32" and you can download any classic games that you want.
if i remember correctly, they're free to download, just google.

didnt know they made emulators legal.

go to:
www.miniclip.com
www.4webgames.com
www.2dplay.com
www.funwebpages.com

those sites have games to play online and also games to download.

as far as i know, all emulators are legal.
the games may not always be though.

Try our own andymanchesta's site. Lots of great games to play there.

Also search for open source games on http://sourceforge.net/, just using the term "game" as a search over 7,000 links are shown, you can of course narrow down the search using specific terms.

SuperTux - kind of like Super Mario, but with Tux the penguin instead. Both my sisters enjoy this game.
Secret Maryo Chronicles - Super Mario clone, my sister enjoy this.

BzFlag - action tank game.
Battle of Wesnoth - turn-based medival fantasy strategy game.

SuperTux is an extremely good game. i recommend it to everyone
