Free Online Games

Brettspielwelt This is one of the best websites I've found. It has free online games with versions of more than 40 great boardgames and its regularly growing with more games and more players.  You play against other players from around the world any time of the day of night.  The online versions are very well done and frequently having the computer handle the bookkeeping speeds things up and ensures accuracy.  Games include:  Carcassonne, Princes of Florence, RA, Tichu, Lost Cities, Bluff, Settlers of Catan, a variety of card games, and more.  This German site also offers an English interface, game community, and some rules.  Its easy to jump right in, especially if you already know the game.  Whenever rules aren't available, other gamers will help you learn the game.  Did I mention that its FREE.
Casino Games This is my favorite site for playing online casino games. The site offers free flash versions of online blackjack, progressive slots, video poker and roulette casino games. Online Casino Suite is a great source for casino ratings and reviews.
FreeCiv Free online game giving you a multiplayer Civilization II clone.  Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the ultimate goal, world domination. Sid Meier's Civ II is one of the greatest games of all time.  Now you can play online without having to round up your own opponents.
Free Free Games Lists an extensive list of free online games, web sites, and articles.
Games on Board A half dozen, free, online games including a multiplayer Euphrates & Tigris.
Global Combat Free online game similar to RISK.  Global Combat is a web based game in which turns are taken simultaneously. This leads to a very natural playing pattern which is rich in strategic options as well as tactical battles. Since it is played over the Internet in a web browser (without any Java or flash) the actions of the other players are hidden until the turn is ran.

There is also a large political side to Global Combat, in which players must sometimes forge alliances.  Global Combat has a WW1 era motif and contains a Elo based rating system that rewards players depending on their place in the game, not just whether the win or loose.

Global Conflict Global Conflict is a free on-line military strategy game where up to ten players contest world domination.  Players may play one turn per day and may participate in multiple games.  Game features include fog of war, technological advancement, different types of military units, and changing weather.   Global Conflict is easy to play, but the rules are sophisticated enough to appeal to experienced war gamers.
Matt Worden Games This site has a couple of free games you can download and play online with other players: Castle Danger is a two player tile playing game; Keeps and Moats Chess is a four player variant of the classic.
Millions of Games MOG brings a new twist to the usual assortment of free online games; its a "community tagging" site where players add links to their favorite games, rate them, view the most popular, and see what other links exist for similar games.
Online Games listing It you can stand the non-stop popup windows, this About.com page has many links to online games.
Online Casinos Another good site for casino games. This online casino directory offers free games, rules and tips for the most commonly players casino games on the world wide web.
Orisinal

Orisinal: Morning Sunshine—Games made from Macromedia Flash that are beautiful as well as fun. You'll find dozens of beautiful, fun, and free games at Orisinal: Morning Sunshine, where Fresno, California-based artist Ferry Halim demonstrates the power of Flash technology applied to beautiful form.

Taking a few minutes to install the FLASH player will pay off in spades when you feel the heat of battle in Swordsman, help a little girl catch the nighttime stars with her soul in Pocketful of Stars, or try to save baby chicks from falling to a grisly death in Chicken Wings Are NOT for Flying, among many others.

Orisinal calls for as much experimentation as it does discovery and offers up uniquely designed games with compelling effects, animations, and text creations. Visit Orisinal and take a vacation on the right side of your brain.

PLIT Online Games Peter Lindstrøm has developed three, free online games you can play thru your browser.  In GANGWAR, you control a gang of criminals in a city. Your goal is to grow as powerful and rich as possible and control as many city blocks as possible.  In SPACE CONQUEST, you control a space faring empire, possible actions include building
various space ships and buildings, forming federations and attacking other players. This is a very simple strategy game.  In STRIVE FOR POWER, you start out with a party of 5 adventures to explore the vast world, solve quests, find unique items, and much more.  If you like the games, he accepts donations which is a great encouragement to continue his efforts.
WarOnline.net WarOnline.Net is a set of free, online, war-strategy games. WarOnline is an online, web-based war-strategy game like no other. Using a Flash driven graphical map interface, a first for web-based strategy games, you can actually see your armies do battle, build massive empires, traverse different terrains and wage all out war on your enemies.

The game is set in mediaeval times.  Gameplay is semi-turned based.  While some things are purely turn based (income, score updates,etc.), other things are of a turn-length time-based mode (combat actions, battlepoints regeneration, movement, etc.).  Thus it's somewhere between turn-based and slow-RTS, and continues even when you're not there.

There are hundreds of active players playing in games of 20-60 players with larger numbers of people playing on bigger maps.  Games can last anywhere from 20 days in the fast games to a few months in the Tournaments.  Games run at different speeds, sizes, lengths, and run continuously.

Yahoo Online Games This Yahoo section lets you play a variety of classic online games such as Chess, Go, Checkers, Naval Command, card games, fantasy sports, partner games, and a couple dozen more.

RPMworld Virtual Drag Race Game

RPMworld Online Drag Racing

The RPMworld online game enables gamers to build and race one of 40 virtual muscle-cars, allowing them to trade parts and vehicles, tune their engine, and challenge online opponents to a real-time drag race.  The Virtual Drag Race game enables players to play the sport of drag racing with opponents thousands of miles apart with instant results. There is more than the races themselves as this site is rally a drag race community.  Much of the fun is building your dragster, checking the standings, and dealing at the swap meat.

Players win points for having the faster ET, or elapsed time in the drag race. As a player's score increases, the points can be used as currency in the "Swap Meet". This component of the game is really the key to making RPMworld unique every time. It's an environment similar to an online auction. No real money changes hands in the game, but players exchange points for faster parts and cars. With daily traffic at around 5,000 users, the swap meet has developed into a fascinating micro-economics simulation.

You can try it for free to see if racing is really in your blood.
