Any Gameboy game with an emulator.

Nintendo doesn’t care about making their old games, nay, works of art like Golden Sun still playable, so I consider them free to play at this point.

Bit of an odd example to cite since both Golden Sun games are officially available on NSO.

It’s definetly not for everyone but space station 14 can be a lot of fun.

Gog has a small list of free games. Some can even be modded further, like Daggerfall.

There’s two edutainment games I remember playing on school PCs back in the early 2000s (either 2000 or 2001) and I’ve found nothing about them since. Asking about them on the TOMT and TOMJ subreddits got me nowhere.

One was set in a castle and had an intro where the main character crosses a moat. I remember it for a particular minigame where you operate a catapult and have to launch cabbages at people hiding in barrels, following instructions like “90 degrees clockwise”, “125 degrees anticlockwise”, etc. If you successfully hit all 8 targets without fail, the victory message was “You cabbage head!”

The other was more like a loose collection of minigames and several different CD collections were released. I used to own one that I found in a supermarket bargain bin. The minigame I remember on this collection involved moving a pin to pop balloons. The background music was some kind of weirdly upbeat jazz song.

The gaming benchmarks show you’ll probably be able to play most of the older f2p games at 720p low settings and be =>30fps.

There was this side scrolling space themed bullet hell adjacent game they had on the computers when I was in elementary school.

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart - A super fun and challenging Mario Kart style game made in the original Doom engine.

CatsEyeXI - An unofficial, custom Final Fantasy XI MMO server with fast leveling, solo play and many quality of life features. (Following guides is still recommended, because it's a complicated and vague game at the best of times!)

ETLegacy - A free to play version of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a fun and fast team-based first person shooter.
