Occasionally I find myself going to the legendary Home of the Underdogs website to take a look at some of the freeware games that had been released since last time I visited. Usually these trips result in my finding one or two gems that had slipped my eyes last time. I thought I'd share a few in this thread, and hopefully some other people will post freeware games that THEY think are increadible too.
First up is a little game called "Blip Blop". This game is a metal slug clone (if you are unfamiliar perhaps Contra will ring a bell) but with a very humerous twist. Your character looks like this:
. The level design and gameplay mechanics are on-par with the hilarious antics of the gaming enviornment.
Another neat little find comes from Japan. This game is called "Vsys" or "TechnoSylph". It is a shooter that takes place over the expanse of a beautifully rendered ocean with white fluffy clouds. The sceneary never changes but evolving your plane from a Baby into a full grown Slyph takes on an almost hypnotic effect. You can find this game here, just click on the "Soft 02" button in the frame.
The last game which I'll mention is a little time killer called "Orbital Sniper". This appears to be a computer adaptation of the game "Silent Scope", but it instead of sniping you are direct a sattilte laser to kill enemy assassins. Zoom down from a large map of a city to individual blocks and pick off nasty assassins attempting to kill VIPs.
If you search, all of these are also availible at the Home of the Underdogs. Let's hear about some other freeware gems some of you have found.... besides nethack

Especially with Jesus, Hitler, Caesar, etc as "leaderheads" each with hilarious comments. Same location - the "not-to-be-mentioned-because-they're-not-quite-legal-dogs-of-overness"
