I really enjoyed playing MC2, Battle for Wesnoth, and OpenCol. I also love Angband and Ur-Quan Masters. Getting a chance to play Dink Smallwood, and UFO: AI was also really grand.
I'm starting to figure out that, among games that have never been released commercially, Battle for Wesnoth is the Rolls Royce. Sure, MechCommander 2 is smoother, but it was released commercially. So was Ur-Quan Masters, or even OpenCol which is an attempt to remake the original commercial game. B4W seems like the big guy among freeware.
