That's an awesome list.  I found some cool stuff in there just by poking around, and was reminded of several things I wanted to try.

Sweet! I had no idea there were King's Quest I-III Remakes!

No. Nooo!  You didn't do this to me.  Now I'm going to be glued to the screen for hours, checking out all this stuff.

Surprised at some games that are free now. Pretty cool.

Looks like Freespace 2 is on there, so for those of you that could never find it... you have no excuse now.

Also, in the description of how to use the Freespace 2 discs, it mentions that Alcohol 120% is free now.  When did that happen?

I downloaded and started playing Freeciv.  Cool stuff, but needs a lot of work.

Edit:  Nevermind this game.  Needs a ton of work.  Bugs galore.  It is impossible to negotiate and the game crashed when I was changing governments.

Yeah, I never really "got" FreeCiv. It seems very work in progress.

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe is worth a look, though. Its pretty cool.

I tried installing it, but I guess you have to have Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I had an old copy I dug up.

Theres Simutrans (http://128.simutrans.com/) which is pretty much the same thing, and you dont need any other game.
