[Iain Cheyne]

There is a new Gamespy article on The Freeware Scene:
http://www.gamespy.com/articles/july02/freeware5/.

It describes the following games:

+AstroMan
Game Type: Jumpman / Lode Runner Platforming Hybrid

+Ninjets XF
Game Type: Side-scrolling Space Shooter with Swords

+SolarWolf 1.1
Game Type: Puzzle / Action

+Island Wars
Game Type: Weather Wars with Cannons and Planes

They all look original and interesting to me.
