Home Game Directory Contact Forum
Welcome to Game Engine! To get started head to our game directory. (link in the green box above as well). This site hosts a wide variety of information valuable to all gamers especially those that have spent tireless hours struggling to coerce buggy or outdated games to run. Some of the main topics included in the site are:
  • Links to download sites for games that have been released as freeware
  • Bug Fixes
  • OS Compatibility
  • Online play via tunneling clients (Hamachi)
  • User made save files
  • User made maps
About the freeware - The links to freeware games we provide are all legal and listed on several sites including wikipedia. Point being we're not trying to scam you, just give you something to do on a slow weekend (though if you're skeptical we can't stop you from doing your own research): *Note* This site does not host any of the games themselves, but instead provides links to the distributors. To go to a link on a freeware page click on the flashing Download box that will appear at the top of the page for the respective freeware game.
About the custom maps and saves - We currently accept submissions but only by email. All maps and save files are scanned for viruses before they are posted on the site (obviously...). Send your submissions to: mapmaker.dropbox@gmail.com
