The link in the most recent post doesn't work - but the BDJ link in the first message of the thread does.  You may want to fix that.

Gog has added a couple of games to their "always free" set:

  - Lords of Midnight
  - Doomdark's Revenge

I know nothing about these games (never heard of them before) other than they're from the mid-1980's.  But if you're into retro gaming, the only thing you're risking is your time.  I think GOG has been selling those games for about 5 years (but I'm not sure about that).

You can find all of GOG's permanently free games on this list: https://www.gog.com/games?price=free

However, that list also includes free DLCs and demos which take up about 75% of the list.

The one that comes to mind for me is WordStar, a ground breaking word processor from back in the character-mode CP/M & DOS days.  It didn't successfully make the jump to graphical environments.  They got killed by WordPerfect and MS Word.

Pioneered the use of the ESDX 'diamond' for cursor movement (when the Ctrl key was held down).  Way back then keyboards didn't always have dedicated arrow keys.  Made far more sense to me than Vi's HLJK scheme. 

I just threw out an old manual/floppy box from the 80's that I had kept around for nostalgia reasons.
