Free video games are very popular these days, with the likes of the Bomb Buddies and Bully fighting games topping the charts. The latest incarnation is to be released in March next year, and you can find out more about it in this month's review. With hundreds of different characters to choose from, these games are very popular, and millions of people play them on a daily basis. When you download free games on to your computer, whether they are available online or downloaded as an application, there is the potential for damage to your computer system. This article looks at the problems with playing free games on Windows.
The free games that come with the new Bomb Buddies game and Bully games are made for the older versions of Windows, and many have come from open source code. However, when you download them onto your computer, you run the risk of making them unreadable by other applications. To download any open source application onto your computer, it has to be written using the same type of code that you find in the application itself. This is often done via a graphical application, which is downloaded and then installed onto your system. If you download an application like this, there is the risk that you will lose data when you delete it, and many games offer a backup file which you can use to keep that data safe.
If you want to save yourself some frustration, it is always better to download free games from a different website, such as GoG.com. The games are much larger, because they are also made using open source code, and all of the same requirements are met. There is no danger of the data being lost, and you can easily play these games on your computer. The only way to make these games unreadable is to download an application from the Windows store, and this makes it much easier to use in most cases.
