Freeware Games (or cheap)

Hi,
I know there's not too many good mac games out there but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations, I loved the warcraft type games before they got all big and animated.
Thanks
Gary

Apologies Aidan, all over the place today!

Just a few ones I usually play:

OpenTyrian (requires SDL lib and original datafiles, the latter you can obtain from major abandonware sites):

Solitaire XL:

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (again, original datafiles needed, see above):

Fulltiltpoker (free as long as you play fake money):

Doom (datafiles, ditto):
http://legacy.newdoom.com/

Quake (datafiles ditto):

If you're not on Leopard yet, Heroes of Might and Magic III runs decently through Classic.

Apart form this I mostly play C64 games through VICE or Power64, VICE now has an experimental Cocoa port that works very well for C64 emulation.
