Freeware Games an Overview
There is no such thing as a free lunch. That was the saying most people grew up
hearing and believing in and in most cases it is very true. However, that saying is
not always true in the gaming world. There are hundreds of websites that list mil-
lions of games that are given away free of charge. Why is this the reader might be
asking him or herself. The answer varies depending on the game. For our example
Robocop 2D, the answer to why this game is free is because the game is a remake
of the 1980’s Robocop arcade game. A remake it is based on someone else’s intel-
lectual property, and therefore no profit can be made. STEP ONE: Please download WinZip by following the directions on page nine
