Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries was released for free a couple of years ago. You should be able to find it without a problem.
Microsoft Stopped playing ball with that. MekTek is gone and it is no longer legal to get MW4 free. The improved MekTek version with improved graphics and a vastly expanded mech list is also technically piracy now. My assumption is that MS hopped that if they shut down MW4 and MW: Living Legends people would be forced to go to their online abortion for a mech fix. That said the disk version of MW4 is fairly cheap online and does work on modern computers.
OT:
-Jazz Jackrabbit 1&2: One of the most enjoyable 2D platformers I have ever played, and surprisingly obscure despite being made by now household name Epic (then known as Epic Megagames and not a household name). A great mix of speed, shooting, and humor. Unfortunetly the second game did have some severe bugs (most notably, spike traps would almost always drag you into the floor, forcing you to load a past save) and the EU only expansion pack was unfinished trash.
-Freelancer: Does this really need explaining? One of the best, and absolutely my favorite open space game.
-Jill of the Jungle: Another great platformer from Epic in the DoS days, and interestingly on that sold on the idea of bucking the "save the princess" trend many many years before the current widespread argument about female representation in games. Almost worht playing just for the hysterically overconfident jabs at other platformers that would go on to be better know by a factor of infinity. Also has a spiritual sequel know as
Vinyl Goddess from Mars by another company, but I never played that one so I have no idea about its quality.
-Fury3: Its like Terminal velocity but better. Ok to be perfectly honest actually its almost the exact same game with a few improvements, but I would still love to revisit that little piece of my childhood.
-Mechwarrior 4: Although as said above it will be a cold day in hell when MS actually lets that happen.
