Rocket Raid  
This is the best clone of Missile Command I have ever seen. Using pixel explosions and a few graphics for cities, the author of this game has achieved stunning graphics and effects. In addition, extra features such as power-ups and super bombs add lots of fun to the game. Players getting further in the game will encounter new challenges whereas the old game just had faster missiles. The 'bouncing' ship and the dark cloud make the game significantly harder, but good players will not feel cheated by lack of missiles or other tricks; this Missile Command game is fair. It even has nice sound and music. Although this game is not even close to being faithful to the classics, it is still the best in its class.

Silver Knights 
Silver Knights is a fun 3D mech game that is too good to be ignored. It is a Japanese game, though the language in the game is English. Right now, there is only a Battle Mode, where you can play three different game types. There is a story mode planned, as well, but don't expect it to surface for a few months. The game gets updated every now and then, so check back to the website every couple of weeks for updates.
The graphics in Silver Knights are wonderful. The mechs look cool and are done in Japanese style. The game is all in 3D and the special effects and explosions look great. It looks and plays like a newer PS1 game, which is quite a feat for a freeware game. There's never a hint of slowdown, but I found the camera angle to be slightly annoying. It jerks around a bit too much for my liking. The many levels in Silver Knights are done beautifully, and each plays very well. Though some levels were a bit boring in previous versions of SK, the levels in the latest version are all very enjoyable.
The controls in the game are a bit aggravating, but can be changed in the options menu. Still, locking onto an enemy remains a bit frustrating. On the other hand, the gameplay is simply excellent. You choose one of several mechs, decide which team you'll be on, and battle it out in one of 10 arenas. You have 3 projectile attacks, and many hand-to-hand combos are possible, as well. All of the characters are fairly balanced, and each one has different attacks and capabilities. You can adjust the AI to be as easy or difficult as you want, which adds loads of time to the replay value. Not to mention, with a separate program (downloadable at the author's site), you can give the robots emblems. You can also edit their paint jobs with the main executable.
The music is jazzy and upbeat, and very pleasing to the ears. There are at least five tracks, too, so the music you'll hear while playing SK won't still be in your head throughout the day. It beats the single track of boring piano music of past versions by a mile. The sound is also pretty good, but isn't particularly amazing. Sounds of boosts and gunshots from your mech can be heard, but the clanks and whirrs heard in some other mech games (e.g. Bachan-On) aren't to be found.
Simply put, Silver Knights is one of the the best freeware mech games found on the internet. As of now, I'd say it's THE best. No doubt about it. It's still progressing nicely, too. It currently resembles a very fun, near-complete PS1 game. Teshima plans on adding a few new mechs, the story mode needs to be made (probably not as daunting as a task as it may seem), and a whole LOT of bugs still need to be fixed, but Silver Knights is getting better with each update. UPDATE ver. 0.04W:-New mech: Kaede-2 new maps: Desert and Bridge-Forest map has been revamped

Space Corps. Armageddon
SC: Armageddon is a suprisingly fun space shooter of epic proportions.
In SC:A, you are on the blue team, battling the red. Thing is, total chaos ensues as ships fight in large battlegroups, with great AI that makes ships retreat from a hopeless battle! Every time a member of a team dies, they are reborn, using 1 life from the team pool. If the player dies, they get a ship downgrade. If they kill an enemy or take 1/3 of it's health, and then dies, they get an upgrade!
The control on SC:A is simple, using only the arrow keys, spacebar, and ctrl. It works surprisingly well, and the ships have variable speed, turn radius, and other factors.
This game is also very customizable, if you know what to do. No, there are no ingame options. But you can open and easily edit every sound and image in the game. A bit of warning: there are 91 ship classes in the game. That's alot of drawing! And I have no clue why there are space stations. They don't appear in the game. This, and random forces every play, make for a very long-lived game.
This game is capable of 40 vs. 40 ship battles all at once, with more ships on the way! Unfortunately, there are no options, but this somehow makes the game better.
The graphics on SC:A are simple, 2d sprites, which are very well drawn, considering each sprite is only 64x64 pixels, and the background is exquisite.
The sounds are all very good, except for the lasers. This, however, does not really change the score.
All in all, Space Corps.: Armageddon is a one-of-a-kind shooter that is absolutely fantastic. There are other Space Corps. games, but none of them (or any game) is like this.

Space Rancher
Your job is to protect your flock from invading alien bugs. You must make sure your flock does not stray. You can control the direction of your flock's travel by touching it with your player. You can also drop bombs on the alien bugs to kill them. There are special bombs that can be picked up to do damage more effectively. Although this game is simple, it is incredibly fun.

Trooper
This clone of paratroopers is not faithful at all. This game has nice music, graphics and sound. In Trooper, you control a small base and shoot tons of lasers (or other weapons, if you pick them up) This game still has the paratroops with the parachute for you to shoot, but they bleed, and the ships explode. Also, this game has tons of fun power-ups, as long as you DON'T shoot the thin green ship. If you do, all your fancy ammo will explode. Game includes 3 difficulty levels and a top score board for each.
