Do I need to press-gang you guys to RUN and get all these free games!? I think you guys are troubled with buying games you missing the free stuff at jolt, some are for sale or pay what you want but lots are free, took me 1 min to sign up

I took a look around quickly, but nothing really caught my eye that I was just dying to play

It's not about free, its about time. Most of us have game libraries full of outstanding games and we are not going to waste our limited time on a subpar game just because its free.

That's a good point, but variety and bad experiences make you know what is a good game, and I come from DOS era and I like unusual games, I have found a couple of games on there that look good, I also enjoy shopping for games, and as lots of the games are free its a cheap date. I really don't know why but I live indie games, the bad graphics and uneaque game ideas they have.

BTW there are games you buy too on the site

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with free games, but usually there is always some sort of trade off in terms of taking the good with the bad. When I looked around gamejolt's website, I felt like I was browsing through a 3rd string version of Steam or Gamersgate.

I never would have guessed.

I'm sure you played with DOS too :) your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are still on your hardrive :)
