I just found thanks to a twit by [url=https://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/192583370876780544]Jeb_.

They are aiming to create a open source client for freeware games and demos.


So far they are boasting:

Contains over 250 freeware games (and a few demos)
New games added continuously
No account or registration required

I am going to give it a try when I get back home. It may be interesting to follow it and see what happens. I would not mind having a tracker and client for free games.

No achievements, no chat, poor skin, no store, no regional pricing, no forum, no groups, no profiles... I think I'll pass ;)

It's doing a Chrome? Oh damnit. Of course, Minecraft does something similar, downloading most of the data to a user-specific folder when launched the first time.

LOL +1

Well - I have been playing around with it a little now and my judgement so far:

Good idea - bad implementation

The good:
- it works
- looks like it is being updated (my version now says 277 games and 28 demos)
- makes searching for free / open source games easier (though the good ones here is know from before, and not sure about how others get added)

The bad:
- not very pretty

The ugly:
- no control over where it install itself or the games (that I could find, at least)

I will still keep it on my laptop for a while, it is good for finding a game to have a short go on when bored and can't be bothered / don't have the time to start something big.

Great find! +1
