Dungeon Escape is, in the author’s words:
[My] very silly and very low-budget flash tribute to the classic laserdisc games like Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace, and Super Don Quixote (well, that last one’s not quite so famous, but it holds fond childhood memories for me).
The game, though admittedly linear, is surprisingly immersive. Maybe just the thing to spend an hour or so killing time, eh?

Nathan’s Second Chance is an excellent freeware adventure game made by Tim Knauf (no relation). As the title subtly suggests, your character has a sudden heart attack and finds himself on a trip to heaven.
Only this time, the journey involves a bus ride to meet a Brit residing in a space station. The eccentric man offers Nathan another opportunity to return to the land of the living, but under one condition. He must reconcile his differences with his daughter, who no longer stays together with the family.
And so the grand adventure begins. The interface is fairly simple to understand, thanks to an extensive tutorial. All the puzzles are relatively easy to solve as well, contributing to the gameplay because the story continues to move along without long pauses or unnecessary side quests.
Easily the one of the best freeware adventure game ever released, and it’s not even coded using AGS. I mean, how many games actually allows the player to assume the role of a balding middle-aged man?
Tim, please make more!

Here’s a freeware adventure game to whet the appetite while we patiently wait for the next unofficial King’s Quest installment.
Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth is a new game by Screen 7 featuring the immortal screen legend, back again with his trusty whip and fedora hat.
The quality of this work is amazing, owing much to the long beta test period that it had to go through before being released. An impressive effort that even hardcore LucasArts 2D adventure fans would approve of.
