Let's be careful where this thread goes - demos, freeware, or shareware only, please, no commercial software.

I don't know how advanced of a game you're looking for, but I've always had fun playing TetriNET (freeware) over LAN networks (especially at school ).

Thumbs up

Counter Strike has a free version for you to download. As far as I know it's a legitimate shareware. My buddy downloaded it after I bought the retail version. As far as I can tell there is no restrictions or limitations. The only thing is when you upgrade versions and maps the shareware must use the shareware patches instead of the retail patches. We've been shootin and scootin for months now and even went through an upgrade with no hitches. If you search under Counter Stike you will find 100s of sites to get the game.

You either need to buy the retail verison or download the mod for Half-Life to play Counter-Strike, there is no shareware version that I am aware of.

Alan, your friend probably downloaded the Counter Strike "mod", which is free to download, but you must have the game "Half-Life" already installed. I don't know of any version of CS that will work on a trial version of Half-Life. Of course I could be mistaken, but I doubt it.

Counter Strike is a free software modification for the game Half-Life that came out around a year ago. It was developed by a team of individuals who had no intention of getting paid. They did it for their own enjoyment and they did it so well that Valve (the company that wrote the game Half-Life) put them on their payroll and added this mod to a cd of Half-Life and began selling it in stores (this is probably the one that you bought).
