Over 30 games in one

Dozing Cat Software has the plainest of vanilla websites, but possibly one of the most generous freeware games ever. Gridlock is a collection of over 30 grid-based games, including Ataxx, Reversi, Checkers, Gomoku, Connect Four and Breakthrough. You can play against another human or one of four computer-intelligence levels. I got my butt kicked by the computer in Reversi even on the Easy level, but you may have better luck.

Thanks to a thriftmac reader for sending in this great tip. If you know of some freeware and want to share it with the world, drop us a line.
